    This is a typical example of someone that grows into the interview. He started kinda closed or at least it felt like it. later on he opened up, started smiling and even told you that you asked him the right questions! This was a nice interview with one of my English heroes from back in the day. I will definitely share it with my fellow veterans and electro lovers. Thanks Twan and obviously Gez 😊

      @@muzikxpress It's very good interview, with an artist that has little positive to say about the music press and industry. But I think when asked the right questions, given time to reply, feeling in a safe environment this became a very good interview. One that will be referenced to later when others catch up to the importance of LFO's output in the early days of modern electronica (experimental at the time). The music still holds up, which says a lot in this genre.

    I remember buying The Theme, LFO etc at the time, it was an exciting time - we called it Bleep. It was a great time to be 20-21! Hearing these tunes out was really mindblowing. Great thing is they all sound as fresh as they ever did.

    John Peel played LFO on his radio show and it so took me by surprise I called Radio 1 and spoke to him. Went into Birmingham and was going to buy it from The Plastic Factory, but there was a little record store in Digbeth, they had one in their window and I bought it there so I could get home quicker to listen to it. 🙂

    Bought it on the day it was released here in the UK. I was a club DJ at the time and could not wait to play this on the club system to see how far I could push the bass bins, trust me the glass in the windows of the club were wobbling with those Low Frequency Oscillations. Good times. Thanks Gez and Mark 💓 R.I.P.

      Waarschijnlijk hoorde ik 'm voor het eerst op de Turn up the Bass Megamix 1990. Een unieke sound die een perfecte aanvulling was voor de house van de vroege jaren 90. Jeroen Flamman sloeg de spijker op zijn kop toen hij uitlegde dat de house in de loop van de jaren '90 steeds verder segregeerde in niche markten. Dat was geen goede ontwikkeling. LFO komt nog uit de goeie ouwe tijd toen electronische muziek nog gewoon gebaseerd was op kwaliteit en niet op imago.

    That title track had and absolutely immense bass line, blew an old pair of Mission 710's up so bought some floor stander Tannoys, mass ballasted with skeet shot and RATTLED my letterbox! (not a euphimism, for real). It was a fantastic time and LFO was the soundtrack to a great deal of it. 🖖👍💯🎶

    Friend gave me a mix tape from his older brother and i'd never even heard techno / detroit techno before. 1990 and listening to LFO-LFO as the opening track on it on headphones waiting to get some lunch at college immediately made me flashback to hearing Kraftwerk in a clothes shop as a child and that same feeling I felt then came back and that is the music journey I then followed forever.

I actually grew up in the city where Nokia cellphones were originally created and manufactured so got my first cellphone in the GSM network in late ’92. But I think it wasn’t until the next phone I got which had an option to add or alter the ringtones even if they were far from polyphonic at the time..

    Great listen. Wow I remember I bought LFO - LFO and Black Box - Ride on Time as the first vinyl singles I'd bought ever as a 15 yo kid in 1990 and it's no exaggeration to say that it changed my life. Within a year me and my mate had a set of decks and were buying records every week and started going raving. I remember my first rave, Carlisle leisure centre 'Phobia' 1992, Carl Cox etc on the decks, The Prodigy live, it blew my tiny mind and I was hooked.
    Great insight into an all time's classic electro track. Brilliant.

    As an old school break dancer, Gez may have been in the leed's crew, that came up to battle my crew at Tiffany's 'The Sidewalk' in Newcastle, in 1984?
    I got into Acid House, Hip House, Rave and many times I danced to this beauty of a track or when I DJ'd, I played it. It felt a natural progression to love this type of music, after break dancing to early 80's electro music. Big happy memories of this song in that 'Warehouse Rave' era. I also saw Unique 3 at 'The Sound Yard' in Bradford (Gwen Guthrie was also performing) and at Havana in Middlesbrough. Fantastic and very interesting interview, that make me reflect of those wonderful times and the soundscape journey of music through the years. A journey I still travel on. Big respect and love to you and fellow 'Music Heads'.

    In 1989 I was 16, into electro and early house music and a big part of me wishes I was in a similar social set as Gez. None of my friends liked electronic music. LFO is an all time classic.

    Great interview.
    Track was a huge influence from the first time i heard it, which was probably about when i was 16/17 in '99 '00. I got the tommy boy US version 12" here in the uk, love it man has the sound system warrning printed in it.
    I remember hearing it out for the first time probably around 2002 in what was a precursor to the warehouse project in manchester. Think it was a sankeys event in a few big wherhouses, main memories from that night are jeff mills on 3 decks with porn visuals and the bass stabs from this track being dropped in the room where the soundsystem was on 2 lorries. Evereyone freaked out and just absorbed the bass and looked at each other in amazement. Even back then it was a sort of fake warehouse 'rave' harking back to the early 90s, mad to think tunes like this are nearly 35 years old now.
    Also RIP John Peel, the open minded musical influence on my influencers as well as me, what a legend. And RIP Mark Bell, love all LFO albums.

    It is always interesting to hear how a lot of techno and jungle producers were into early electro and breakdancing. Considering that, for those that might not know I would be reasonably certain that the Juan Atkins track spoken of that used the speak and spell is Techno City, under Juan’s Cybotron alias. Great interview, and will be checking those G-man tracks out.

      I thought he referred to 'Techno Music' from Juan Atkins, released under his real name n 1988. See th-cam.com/video/0RtuRD0Cp4w/w-d-xo.html.

      Pretty sure there is no Speak & Spell on Techno City.
      And Cybotron is not an Atkins alias.
      I'd bet Gez is talking of a early Model 500 (Atkins alias at the time) tune.

    One of the alltime great techno tracks. First heard on the UK top 40 show, and immediately purchased in both original and remix versions the following week on 12”, and played both versions frequently when djing after. I’ve broken at least two sets of house party speakers with the remix version.
