Both Frequencies and Homogenic were completely pivotal moments in the evolution of my taste, although I came to Homogenic first and worked backwards.
At a time when so many British underground musicians release major label debuts with all the life triangulated out of them, and every pop record is accompanied by a tedious discussion as to whether x or y track is too whatever to be picked up by radio, you just want to take everyone concerned aside and remind them that a record as gloriously unhinged and uncompromising and singular as LFO could just come out of nowhere and crash straight into the top 20 and that maybe everyone should just have a little more faith in what they do.

revisiting LFO as a tangent to the Bjork poll results and remembering this amazing set rip which lived on a long-gone wiped hard drive:
