||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

|
How do you like Advance? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was under the impression that LFO was extremely boring. at least advance is. thats the only one i have |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Is this their new single from the new album? Are the two back together or is it just Mark B. ...or is it only Gez V. ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Frequencies" is otherworldly - there is nothing else like it in existence. "Advance" is good, but I've heard it before....countless times. |
||||||||
|

|
|
We're talking about Lyte Funky Ones right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Right..the same...guys that like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah!!! I'm SUPER GAY! It's pitiful that most of my friends have heard of LFO (Lyte Funky Ones), and haven't heard a lick of the real deal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Frequencies was one of the few (there are less than 5), albums that I fell in love with upon first listen. It sounds like the soundtrack to a dance party in the year 2025. Everyone is wearing freaky robot-like outfits with lots of colours, and the party is taking place on a giant skyscraper rooftfop. There are neon signs everywhere, and hovercars floating by. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) missed it last night (d'oh!) - who was the dj who played it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lfo - frequencies is the best old skool techno album ever |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was rather uncommon at the time for such artists to get album deals, i think it paved the way for electronic artists to be taken far more seriously than just be one-hit wonders. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah deffinately, it was a seminal album, one responsable for the 'birth' of 'idm' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw that on ebay. There's a couple of things in there that I'd like, that I don't already have. Too bad they're not being sold separately. And 'seminal' is definitely a word you'd have to use for the early LFO stuff. Frequencies is one of the most important albums of that time. I know the word 'important' gets bandied about in a fairly meaningless abstract way, but you know what I mean. And it still sounds great now. Well I think so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah definately, but advance is just as good if not better. thanx for the info about the promo, wouldnt have seen that otherwise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Advance, I seem to remember, got a fair amount of bad press. Or at least indifferent press. But I really loved it. Some really nice things going on in there, and it's not really like anything else exactly. Man I am so bad at album reviews. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes so does anyone have an mp3 of "freak"? radio or vinyl rip.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WORD is.....it's already on slsk....... someoNE is gonna be mad!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is this meant to be played at 45rpm? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes apparently. and expect an harrasssig email soon sj! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SJ? jesus notice if ive been drinking? mr. chuffing cryptic again... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is that supposed to be an answer to my question? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you're on about the encoded version on slsk the answer is yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you were 15 years younger you might even like it! haha! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hee hee! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sincerity77 is getting on my last nerve with this slow download of the 45 rpm encode |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha this is fun! the heads are going to hate it here but fuck them, this is good dancefloor techno IMO. definitely grooving, but also funny and relatively smart. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the ending is the best part! fucking star wars! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did anyone order the 1-track promo and get sent the new 3-track promo instead? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you hear the story about the 2 b-sides (which i haven't heard yet)? if you haven't, i can't tell you right now.. but anyway i really got a kick out of it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tell me later! :) theyre pretty good btw, old skool sound, like the a-side. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i did a soulseek search for "lfo sheath" and i actually got a result.. one user claiming to have track 1 only (i forget the name, it was one word) did you read joyrex's review on watmm? looked like he was blowing smoke up mark bell's ass, for realz. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I think Freak is really that good - can't someone voice their OPINION on their own site without taking flak for it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just thought it was worded a little funny considering you never covered lfo on the site before, never mentioned lfo on here, etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that the absence of any new LFO material since 1996 would explain the absence of any recent LFO coverage :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course but no mention of tour dates or anything.. i mean it's nitpicking, no doubt, but it just caught me by surprise cos i've literally never seen joyrex ever mention lfo and/or mark bell.. so it almost seemed like a manditory "give the legend his praise" kind of thing even if he does genuinely enjoy the single |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"lfo - frequencies is the best old skool techno album ever" "nobody listens to techno!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've listened to Mark Bell a long time... just because I didn't do a site on him doesn't mean I don't like his music or think he's worthy of such praise. I like Brothomstates a lot too, but never mentioned him much... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok fair enough.. sorry for giving you a hard time, you'll have to take my word for it that i just found it unexpected. have you heard "butterslut" and "whistle while you jerk"? i'm waiting to hear them but i feel like i'm their godfather for a certain reason.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heya! how's your site doing? I heard, a couple of weeks ago, that you were thinking about discontiniueing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahah *hums whistle while i jerk* to the tune of snow white and the seven dwarfs......ahhahahha FREAK was AWESOME! omg....i just wanted to dance my bootie off.....and then maybe play a video game after.......ahahhaha it was lots of fun and i'm sure there's gonna be a mega monster dance mix that comes along for disco's to keep people dancing for 30 minutes straight. GREAT JOB LFO =0) |

Not the site, just the messageboard - I was getting tired of the recent number of shite threads and that it was taking time away from me working on the site. Thankfully, things have gotten better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never heard any lfo... I guess is time to put it on whish list |
