Surprised there hasn't been a thread yet:

Strangely enough, we were setting up a new conference room at work yesterday and my mate played LFO - LFO (Leeds Warehouse Mix) to test out the sound on the PC. Within an hour the story broke that Mark Bell had died. I've actually been lucky enough to hear that track in a Leeds warehouse and the bassline is possibly the heaviest I've ever heard through a soundsystem, even though it's now 25 years old. It's impossible to overstate how influential LFO were: without their input into the Bleeps & Bass scene there wouldn't be a Warp Records, there might not be any IDM scene and there probably wouldn't be any drum 'n bass either. A huge loss to electronic music. |

LFO was and still is a pretty cool track from back in the days.

They were pretty influential in pushing me into other areas of electronic music. RIP.
