it was played by MTV so many times. but not only in Party Zone but it was possible also during the day. Outside many great techno tunes from first part of 90s...this one was different. Top 10 best ever electronic tracks of our times. It sounds futuristic in 2023...but was realised in 91...

Maybe the best ever Warp Records (WAP) single!?! Deffo in the top 5! Must have record!

Track 4 deserves a mention. IMO could have been a double A side. Both equally amazing tracks.

It's fascinating, reading Matt Anniss' excellent "Join the Future" book on the history of bleep-and-bass, to learn more about "DJ Martin" Williams' critical role in the genesis of this record, the genre, and LFO. He is an unsung hero in the story. A lot of the bass and clever arranging (how the bass line plays off the "bleep" melodies) of this first release is missed in later LFO works, not to take anything away from what would follow. Even so, there would be no LFO without him.

At the time house music was only played at some underground radio stations in the Netherlands. A great (and only) source for taping music. In 1990 good track after good tracks were being released. Until LFO-LFO came on the radio (with a warning for speakers). It just seemed out of this world. Sounded like it came from another planet. The record was gone within a week in the record shops. Took me 7 years to track one down. Amazing record like much of LFO's work.

Low Frequency Oscillations - Timeless classic genre defining bleep techno anthem was in the air everywhere at Glastonbury 1990.

I don't think I ever felt so lucky to get my hands on a copy of this one when it first came out....'sounds' like nothing else and in a big club it was like a spaceship had crashed in...just a great slab of vinyl.
