The Good LFO, Not The Bad LFO

Went to Quiz Quest a few weeks back in Gwdihw.

It was their 4th quiz, all about the number 3 and we came 2nd.

We won this.



One of the rounds was all about musical trios or bands with three in their name. During the round a particularly awful pop song cropped up and the bad LFO made an unwelcome return to my thoughts (incorrectly as it turned out).

The bad LFO are the Lyte Funky Ones. Just typing “Lyte” made me feel nauseous, so click the link if you want more info on them.

The good LFO are bleep pioneers and British techno dons, synonymous with Sheffield and early Warp.

When the good LFO get talked about, people usually focus on their seminal debut album Frequencies, which came out in 1991. So I’ve decided to post something from the 1994 Tied Up EP instead.

Enjoy this slab of fizzing crunchy techno. And forget about the other LFO.

P.S. Quiz Quest is usually on the third Monday of the month, so the next one should be on the 21st. Join the Gwdihw facebook group for deets. It’s well good.
