Tenants of the Lattice-Work was Mainframe's 1983 debut album.

Consisting of fourteen untitled tracks, the album was created using a Roland Juno-60, Moog Liberation, Moog Prodigy, Yamaha SK20, Fender Stratocaster and an Apple II Microcomputer using a Greengate DS3 sound sampler card.

Tenants of the Lattice-Work was a concept album - with the 14 tracks telling a story. The story was set in the future and involved computer generated environments that people would visit and relax in. The main character of the story was a computer generated person who eventually managed to "escape" into the "real" world

There was a "quest" associated with the album - as well as the album there were 2 double-sided A4 sheets of paper with a story on it and several questions. If you answered the questions correctly then you could claim the prize which was, apparently, a solid gold M. The answers to the questions could be worked out using clues that were in the printed story, in the story told in the music, the rather complex front cover art work and in the notes on the back of the cover. It is not known if the prize was ever claimed.
