Ok. so what am I missing here? I just dont see what is so wonderfull about LFO. I love Flushot from wipeout. Freak is ok. real energetic tracks.. I'm just not feeling any energy or life or anything interesting in their sound outside of these tracks and perhaps Butterslut. any reccomendations for another listen before I close my books on them? |
||||||||

LFO - LFO du'h |

depends on what you are looking for |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you don't like Freak, you are soulless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, just listen to the albums. if they're not your fancy, then you know there's nothing there for you. it's not the end of the world, is it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...kinda agreed really on this front... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
you're looking at the music from a different perspective. its ok. its good music, though. you'd be doing yourself a great service by listening to it from a different perspective. |

If you don't like LFO then you're a cunt. |

Their first album is almost faultless, haven't kept up with him/them much since |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bam, in your... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really should sort that out. |
||||||||

LFO, the first album, is very much I think an album of its time. If you didn't hear it and love it then, you aren't going to like it now. I still say Advance holds up now though. In fact, I think I'm going to put it on. |

LFO, LFO, where to start or, possibly in your case, end, with LFO? The three-piece from Leeds in Sheffield were the pioneering trio behind the sound that was to come to be known as Beat House. Their use of subsonic bleeps and very high treble led to then popular Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis describing their debut single "FLO" as "bloody awful", a comment completely out of step with puplic opinion which sent the track to the top of the charts for the whole of the 90s. Follow up "We Are Back (but we'll shortly be off for 5 years)" served only to prove that these four plucky lads from Detroit in Belgium were here to stay. The quintet were also the first Techno act to be able to provide a solid album in addition to chart busting singles. Apart from Kraftwerk. Twenty years in the making, follow up album "Autechre" moved away from the dancefloor and into your bedroom as the eight man band were deeply influenced by IDM. Which meant some tracks were techno-y and others a bit more Ambient. A further decade passed before "Sheak" was released, with LFO now being reduced to just 12 of the original 36 members. This reduction in manpower was also reflected in the more minimalist , brutal sound of the album. Also along the way the various members of the band produced and remixed a variety of artists, perhaps most famously Björn from ABBA. My recommendations would be "What time is Love?" and the album "Chill Out". |

lfo is great (if not genious) music, but not everybody has to like it try other things |

If you think the best tracks are ok you might as well just skip everything else. |

LFO is "alright". But I certainly don't hate it. |
||||||||
|

this is from the next internet sensation. |

I watched that too and was thinking the exact same thing, haha. :D |

Gez and Mark of LFO are both 19. |

"If you didn't hear it and love it then, you aren't going to like it now." hehe. i certainly didn't hear frequencies when it came out, but i really really like it. however, it's the album album of theirs i can listen to all the way through. i like their newer stuff too, but that's only been random tracks here and there.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Any new stuff coming out by him? (outside of his sideprojects) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's just up until squeaky/mashed potato 12", i think that was warp 17, not so much after that, the first ep and remix b-sides, we are back, nurture, never really listened to the album much, strangely, maybe it's not quite as good, will have to go and have another listen, warp did a ltd cd single actually of live in paris, quite a rare one wonder if they have any old unreleased tracks? warp should put all this new/old guitar music on their old label Gift and dig out the LFO dats and help revitalize warp and electronic/black/dance music for the good of society. warp was so classic up till about #20. that very first nightmares on wax album - shizzle my nizzle. Rob Gordon, where are you, come back all is forgiven, we're sorry... |

the one track from the lfo/afx 4track comp where in the beginning it's like the track is rolled up and shot out of a cannon and it's rolling down unraveling and opens up and bam, the track begins. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
flu-shot? if that is the track, and you're saying it's good, then i agree. if it's not the track, and/or you're not saying it's good, i disagree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone who doesn't recognise frequencies as one of the best electronic albums of ever deserves a slap on the cock. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
frequencies is gud cos its teh first idm albums with its excellent use of fz1 distortion and its innovations in the dynamics of acids |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
heh. Some people have no taste. |
||||||||
|

haha brilliant |

Mark bell if you are reading this :) Makemore tunes. |

Did we ever work out just what house was, ever? |

I've added Mummy I've had an Accident, Loop, and Mentok1 to my list of good LFO tracks. I actually like some of the LFO sound. I'd like to hear them work with 2562 or Various Production not that they are in league. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The debut is a classic but their actual masterpiece is Advance. Mark Bell is a critically acclaimed Bjørk producer. He also did an album for Depeche Mode - Exciter - which is in my top three "Albums that suck but still sound really, really great" list |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I knew history and discog already for El ef o. so what do you guys think of 2562? I love to drive to it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I forgot how good Freak was. Definitely their best track... but the other stuff I've heard I wouldn't exactly rave about... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think frequencies is fantastic but dont care much about the rest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Listening to Sheath... there's a few brilliant tracks (Freak is definitley the best) but the rest is pretty forgettable. I'll have to check out their earlier albums. |
||||||||
|

mentok 1! ...yes, utter classic found it on a 12" stuck down the back of a counter in a record shop i used to work in, i think it had been down there since its initial release judgin by the amount of fluff and crap it had stuck to it |

marky belly aint never replied in his threads, at least the account i know he has o'fuckin'snap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well of course not, he's not Aphex Twin. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no but belly probably has hung out with richie oh god what fun what fun |
||||||||

"Technotronic, KLF or something you live in." I think even LFO was confused. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The "What is House? (LFO Remix)" single version, surely, surely is one of the greatest tracks of ever. I think House is "What is House? (LFO Remix)" |
