To me "Frequencies" is one of the more genius electronic album ever made.
I think there is not enough words to say how this work is timeless, very hard to surpass.
The perfect synthesis of electro, house, acid, and techno, everything far ahead of it's time.
It starts with an acid house's pionneers tribute and it ends with a mysterious dark ambient ballad, there is moody but also very effective tunes, downtempo or uptempo.
The sound research is also very important, (huge modular synths and analogical materials) no cliché here.
If you listen this album at one stretch you would only realise that Bell and Varley have been touched by God's blessings.
A Masterpiece!

If you like electronic music then this should be in your collection, considered by some to be the first techno album, Tommy Boy picked it up because they thought it sounded like electric funk. One word to sum this album up is "groundbreaking", LFO has a certain style that is unmatched even until today. I am shocked to see only 5 members have this.

I had a Warp slipmat with my copy of this promo (black with orange logo).

a classic release on warp. released in 91, this album is still incredible. my favorites include LFO. Love is the Message. We Are Back. and Simon From Sydney. but everything is excellent. this release was way ahead of its time, and continues to inspire me.
As for LFO, I think that their "Frequencies" album (the third WARP release) established WARP as a progressive and openminded record company on the electronic scene. Great bass line, outstanding percussion - it was (and currently IT IS) the brilliant album for 1991 year and a Must-Have-Item for all electronic music lovers for these days. And it doesn't matter if we heard these tracks many times in different mixes and compilations - the original album should be present in every collection of electronic music!
