Ah, wasn't aware of his aliases like Fawn, Space Monkey, Speedjack... More of a techno route there it seems, the LFO style industrial space alien sound not so much.

This and the other LFO remix on the b-side are excellent. I think it only got a vinyl release though. That said, Mark did a lot of remixes for a lot of artists you might not be aware of. His mix for !!! is excellent as well.

Great gnarly synth at the end.

An LFO remix I also like is Antipop Consortium's Ghostlawn one. It's also quite a compliment to them : your tune gets remixed by fucking Mark Bell and yet your original version sounds from even further away in the future.

LOL@Youtube comment on We are Back: "Wait a minute, is this the same LFO that did Summer Girls????"

Some interesting reads here:

Fully agree with this one, Mentok 1 is a dirty wall shaker, I loved to plague my parents with it:

MARK ARCHER (Altern-8)

[...] But Mentok 1 has always been my most favourite of their tunes. The dirtiness of that main hook noise and the heavy sub bass that always reminded me of the ship foghorns off Scooby Doo. Just a brilliant record

Also this one, about the LFO Leeds Warehouse Mix:

"As for the equipment used to make techno history? “I had an FZ10 sampler, Kawai K1 keyboard, Jen SX1000 keyboard, and a Speak and Spell kids’ toy, for the voice. Martin had an Atari ST computer and a small Fostex mixer and a couple of small Yamaha FX units. That was about it. It was really amazing to think what we came up with using only that gear. Sometimes less is more, more or less…”

He said Mute owns this so he has no control over it 

[WurstPLUS]

How could I never notice the awesome "Lie to me" remix?

Late 90s, I bought (direct from Gez Varley) an album (or mini-album?) on cassette titled "EX23"

No tracklisting that I can remember.  Cover used similar/same typeface as the original LFO logotype.

I lost the tape some time after, no copy.

I can't find anything online, at all, about it.

Anyone remember, has a copy?

[WurstPLUS]

Interesting, you could also ask Mr. Varley, I think he's somewhere around Bandcamp or Youtube...

someone make a track with readouts of posts from his days bullying people on xltronic

[impakt]

I have some old unreleased stuff he sent me a long time ago on a backup somewhere. Might try to find them and share if that's cool, I dunno really?

A great track, one my favourites from LFO.  A shame it's so short, but how sweet it is!

That last one is from a relatively unknown (LOL) Mark Bell -involved production. I was devastated when Mark Bell died.

That's a fucking horrible LFO release due to the completely redunculous artificial crowd noise.
