What's more to add that hasn't been said already? For me a timeless classic that got me into techno at the age of 13. It was on the Dutch Turn Up the Bass CD and it really stood out of the rest that was basically more new beat hip house and acid house. A bassline like no other, this track still stands after 22 years.

This one is in the top 3 list of alltime greatest electro production. Awesome track and groundbreaking for the time. House music was in 1990 still a new style and records like this sounded like they come from outer space somewhere.
I remembering that Amsterdam FM (a local dutch radiostation wich was one of the first who aired house music)was warning the listeners to not to blow up their speakers. Haha when did you heared someting like that ever? There is also a videoclip of this song wich was played some time on MTV's Party Zone. Also very space.

Yep nothing much more needs to be said about this, except echoing someone else's comment, LFO was pretty much the high water mark as far as bleep techno/rave went. I'd say this, along with Rhythmatic's 'Take Me Back' define the sound, and are the two benchmark tracks. Everything else that came after was a poor copy. In its time LFO was cutting edge though!

2 fairly long mixes, the 'Rob Searle' etched side certainly sounds like his style of work, as it starts off close to the original and then develops into a monster euro-trance mix, whilst still keeping the vocal samples on board. The other side has added heavy 4:4 percussion and effects, but doesn't deviate as much as the RS side. Both have additional keyboards yet keep the feel of the original. Arguably one of the best w/l mix sets of this bleepy classic, with pretty good low-end on the pressing. Not all copies have "LFO" in red pen, so it's the lead-out groove etchings that you need to check, as there are some other fairly awful remixes of this track on w/l (the original mixes are still the best, ofcourse)!

Not much said about this ep.
I know the title track has always got most of the attention (not without merit) with its spine massaging bassline, hard 808's and lush chords, but....
First of all, track 4 was the defintion of the new direction that techno was taking me musically when I was younger. Totally otherworldly sounds with menacing melodies and snapping beats.
Then, probe, hard, grating 808 rhythms with a bubbling bassline with a few breakdowns, washed out strings drifting in and out of the track.
It doesn't do much but it doesn't have to, the elements of the track just sit together so perfectly.
In all, one of the best ep's ever made imo.
