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.

"LFO", "We Are Back", and "What Is House? (LFO Remix)" (an expanded version of "Intro") were released as singles.

In 2009 the Warp20 (Recreated) compilation featured covers of "LFO" and "What Is House? (LFO Remix)" by Luke Vibert and Autechre, respectively.
