finally I can discuss this fucking great release!!!!!
ok I bought it cos everybody said it was a classic... and really it didnt let me down
its of course very oldschool, which I like, but eventhough its oldschool, it is full of creativity
for example, I love b12 electro soma, but this one seems to have more soul, I dont know how to explain, but out of all these classic albums from the early 90s and godfathers of idm... this one is like the warmest... the one album with more personality (more than incunabula, bytes, electro soma...)
and many times danceable too... I odnt know, its fresh and its great
one of my alltime favourites I dont find more technical ways of describing it, so sorry for the vague conclusions, but its what I feel... right now I am not listening to it, but next time I post here I will do it with the album itself playing in my hifi so I can talk deeper about it.
great listen, I was very late to discover it, so if there is anybody who still didnt discover lfo I highly recomend it

although this record is dated it still sounds awesome, quality music from the early 90´s...I am starting to get old
I would rate it a 4/5
this is one of the first records that opened a new musical era for me
LFO then = very alive LFO now = very dead
Sheath has some good songs on it but I still think Mark shouldn´t have release it under LFO

well, we have diferent opinions on seath, but anyway back to frequencies... I dont see it so dated... ok, it sounds clearly from the early 90s but eventhough the sounds and machinery used are old, the music concept is still fresh I think
ok its not glitchy as fuck, but its much more creative than other albums that have been made this last year with the aim of looking at the past acidy idm (yoseph)

I think it sounds dated to me because I listened to it back then,
you are right because there are much more releases from that period that sounds much more dated
*wooow 23000 points nacmat!!*

I don't think it sounds dated because, like ideas, "good music is good music FOREVER!"

A classic indeed, dated or not.. If AFX had released this music today everyone would go WooooooW! I think maybe AFX's new analord project will sound something like this...

maybe wait with getting it for another month...warpmart usually gives out what ever they have left real cheap..usually in packages, so you might get everything by lfo real cheap.

I was just joking...
I put this in my iPod this summer and it got a fair bit of play. It's one of those albums I never tire of, mainly because there isn't a daft track to be found on it.

I was playing this only the other day. I purchased the week it came out and it remains a classic to this day. There wasnt much that sounded like LFO in 1991 (was it 1991?) neither. Its a must for anyones electronic collection...

Excellent album. I would file Frequencies under 'essential' - and that's not a rank I bestow upon it lightly.
As for this sounding like Richie Hawtin's old FUSE release on Warp... not really. Other than the fact that they're both early techno albums. I like a lot of Richie's work, but I far prefer this LFO record to his FUSE stuff.

i'll give fuse a listen today..completly forgot what it's like. it's more straightforward techno compared to frequencies i think..a bit harsher, but also very acidy..could be im totally wrong :)
