LFO - LFO (Official Video)

Official video for LFO's self-titled anthem, released 26 July 1990.
“That was the one that turned us into a “real label”. We just weren’t really prepared for what would happen with that record. It was at the time when a single could come out and keep sneaking up and up; at first it was just into the top 40, next week it was in the top 20, then it was 12. We sold 130,000 12"s, which was just unbelievable, you’d get the same position now from selling 3,000.” - Steve Beckett (2007)

This is one of the most creative 90s dance music videos. Usually dance videos in the era just included the djs perform the song and add some dancers and whatever. This video is a visual treat

Directed by Jarvis Cocker, who made a few of Warp's early vids, before Pulp became a bigger success.

[@MoOniEXXXXXXX]

Just before I left school for good at 16 in 1990, i went to a rave somewhere in norfolk near thetford, no idea where, myself and 4 girls, lucky me eh lol ended up following a convoy of cars from the services to some big farm building in the middle of nowhere, just 100s of cars parked down the roads for miles, we all took some speed on the way down there, my first time doing it, plus we had a smoke too, but when we got to the actual party itself, i was really coming up on the phet, and we walked in through these huge double doors to a small warehouse full of sweaty ravers, insane lighting and the loudest music i had ever heard in my life, and LFO was the tune that was on as we entered. fuck me did i dance that night, i ended up taking half an E as well, too scared to drop a whole one, saved that for the next party lol but wow, hearing LFO as we walked in was like the best welcome ever, that bassline fucking shook that old asbestos roof to bits, you could see dust falling down through the strobes but no one gave a shit. Absolutely mint night, this song was caned a lot, as was half the tunes i was listening to on those deep heat albums someone else mentioned!
