Frequencies was the debut album by the British techno act LFO, originally released in 1991 (see 1991 in music) by Warp in the UK[5] and by Tommy Boy in the US.[6]

The American version of the album alters the track listing slightly, inserting "Track 14", which concludes the UK version, in between "We Are Back" and "Tan Ta Ra"; the rest of the tracks then proceed in the same order as the UK edition.

In 2009 the Warp20 (Recreated) compilation featured a cover of the song "LFO" by Luke Vibert.
