LFO - LFO but without the L .. F .. O?

So LFO by LFO, a Warp classic.

Is there a mix of this that gets rid of the voice saying "L ... F ... O"? Because in this day and age, that would improve the track immensely. Although I can see why they put it in originally.

Why would it "improve the track immensly" though?

"LFO" wouldn't be "LFO" without the "LFO" IMHO.

The voice is a kindof nod to pop music and getting radio play, imho.

I was 16 years old when this track came out. It got played on Radio 1. You could go to Woolworths and buy the 7" single (which is precisely what I did at the time). It got to No 12 in the UK charts.

And thats all fine and dandy at the time.

But 30 years later I would prefer it without the voice. If you imagine it without the voice, its more abstract, just pure electronica

But I can't...

Someone posted a site where you can do that, can't remember if it was a thread or a post in a thread... 

Edit: https://splitter.ai

The 5 stem model for example, can extract vocals, drums, piano, bass and other (guitar, synths, etc...), while the 2 stem model extracts the instrumental and the vocals.

Never tried it so have no idea if it works alright... 

While you're at it please extract only the bits that sound nice from afx songs...

Did it work? 

if LFO was removed from the track LFO, would it be titled "The Track With No Name"?

No, I guess the AI is tuned to detect more conventional vocals

You’re old enough to know this is a thick as fuck position to fall into.

It was a commercial success because LFO were so damned good and, drum roll, acid house. At the time I never considered that a deliberate aim of LFO, more an accident of fate. Insinuating it was a pop nod is complete bollocks.

There could be what’s known as a dub of this track, sitting in a vault somewhere, but we’d have heard it by now. Maybe contact the artists with this question, come conundrum, and see what they think.

Might be a bit tricky

Or “LFOless”?

A WATMM seance? 

“Watmm’s Reshaped LFOlessness”

Low Flying Object

Everytime someone talks about LFO I always wonder why they would listen to music you can't hear.

Funnily enough the Luke Vibert remake from 2009 adds a ton of vocal samples

I am WATMMs slaughterer of sacred cows

It's a glaring omission that the Wikipedia page for Speak & Spell doesn't mention LFO.

Expand  

How have i not heard this before? 

There's this, but it wouldn't take too much effort in making an edit without the Speak & Spell samples.
