	Lo Fidelity Allstars Biography - AOL Music
		A six-piece big-beat band with more of a rock'n'roll slant than the other acts on the big-beat boutique Skint Records, Lo Fidelity Allstars marry rumbling dub basslines with breakdown-organ riffs borrowed from soul tunes and a care-free attitute reminiscent of the Madchester glory days of Happy Mondays and Stone Roses.
		Lo Fidelity Allstars began recording and sent a demo tape to Skint label-boss Damian Harris; after Harris saw them play live, he signed them.
		The mix album On the Floor at the Boutique followed in 2000, and Lo Fidelity Allstars delivered their second studio record, Don't Be Afraid of Love, in early 2002.

	Lo-Fidelity Allstars: Don't Be Afraid Of Love
		This long-awaited follow-up to Lo Fidelity Allstars' splashy debut (we're not counting their in-between mix album) trades in the big beats and annoyingly artsy interludes of How to Operate With a Blown Mind for suave soul and funk-on-speed.
		Lo Fidelity Allstars have found their groove—it seems to have been lost somewhere in the '70s—and thankfully ditched the existential angst that mired their first CD.
		Lo Fidelity Allstars mince no words—they tell you straight up to shake your ass, and if you get your hands on this CD, you undoubtedly will.

	The History of Rock Music. Lo-Fidelity Allstars: biography, discography, reviews, links
		The London-based Lo-Fidelity Allstars belong to the same generation of dance music as Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim.
		In that respect, LFA recalls Renegade Soundwave, another combo that was stradling the border between the punk culture and the rave culture.
		Elsewhere, LFA is trying to refound sweet and slow dance music by absorbing the sound of late Pink Floyd and OMID-era synth-pop.

	The_Lo_Fidelity_Allstars: How_To_Operate_With_A_Blown_Mind
		If former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters were starting his musical career today instead of 30 years ago, he would be a Lo Fidelity Allstar.
		The Lo Fidelity Allstars' How To Operate With A Blown Mind isn't rock, electronica, disco or hip-hop, even though all those elements surface in this English septet's album, which sounds like a sound track for some bizarre foreign film detailing a poor soul's descent into madness.
		Rather than being straightforward with a verse-chorus-verse approach to writing lyrics to get a point across, the Lo Fidelity Allstars use the lyrics as simply another instrument, a human element mixed in with all the electronic effects.

		To affirm Lo Fi's newly found dedication to the preservation of the motion of hips, they even include cosmic funkster Bootsy Collins as guest vocalist on the ultra-smooth stroller "On The Pier".
		Lo Fi brings a few guests to this set, perhaps learning from their sucess with Pidgeonhead on "Battleflag".
		The funky clavichord that was a signature of the band is as prominant as ever, as are roomfilling bass and infectious rhythms.

	Dance Music From England With a Dark Side
		Lo-Fidelity Allstars call their style "punk paste," shorthand for a merger of rock aggression with the cut-and-paste techniques of DJ-driven genres like hip-hop and house.
		Lo-Fidelity Allstars also create songs with lyrics, rather than tracks peppered with sampled vocal hooks, as is the case with most big-beat groups.
		Lo-Fidelity Allstars don't have any answers to these quandaries, but the band's turbulent sound and dark vision indicate a path beyond the commercialism and escapism that have stalled dance culture in its tracks these last few years.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: How to Operate With a Blown Mind, Lo Fidelity Allstars, CD
		Imagine a cross between Fatboy Slim and the Sex Pistols: UK sensations the Lo Fidelity Allstars infuse their techno with a wild, ribald arena-rock energy.
		Yet unlike the Fatboy of the redemptive, soulful "Praise You," the Allstars bowl their listeners over with intense, brooding, punk-inspired rocktronica that hits like the mutant spawn of Prodigy and Mean Joe Greene, while singer -- yes, singer -- the Wrekked Train shouts apocalyptic blather over dark, distorted, ferocious music.
		On occasion, however, the Allstars' attempt at a varied sound backfires; "I Used to Fall in Love" and "Vision Incision" are harshly distorted urban ballads with sub-Liam Gallagher winging in place of vocals.

	Hanging 'Lo' and shooting high
		Instead of detracting from the beats and sampled scratching, Randall is able to feed off the energy provided by the breakneck, catchy rhythms.
		The Lo-Fidelity Allstars also dabble in the spoken-word arena with "I Used to Fall in Love" and the title track to the album, "How to Operate with A Blown Mind." Once again, these tracks exhibit a great deal of potential that goes unfulfilled.
		The Lo-Fidelity Allstars have what it takes to produce catchy material that is also rich and dynamic.

		The Lo-Fidelity Allstars' Don't Be Afraid of Love is another slab of eminently danceable, electro-laden funk, complete with vocals of pure vocodered soul--which proves addictive listening whether you've already learnt How To Operate With a Blown Mind or not.
		Lo Fi's in Ibiza is also a pretty class tune.

	REVIEW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Though the Lo Fidelity Allstars record for Skint, the hot Big Beat label that is home to Fatboy Slim, they are much like a Renegade Soundwave for today: like Renegade Soundwave, they don't fit conveniently into dance or indie.
		The Allstars are very much sample-based, using sources as obvious as "Planet Rock" and old Stax and Motown songs to a variety of semi-obscure easy-listening like Lalo Schifrin and Eartha Kitt.
		The Lo Fidelity Allstars seem almost like an indie version of the Prodigy; cooler, lighter, less dependant on obviously teenie ploys to propel their songs.

	Lo Fidelity Allstars - Don't Be Afraid of Love (feat. Sleeping Faster) \| Album Review @ Music-Critic.com : the source ...
		The fringe hits of 1997 and 1998 (can you remember "Disco Machine Gun" and "Battleflag"?) haven't been enough to sustain interest in the Lo Fidelity Allstars, and Don't Be Afraid of Love certainly won't be thrusting them to the forefront of the dance scene.
		It all starts off with "What You Want" (which just isn't) and the "Deep Ellum...Hold On", the vocoder crazed "Lo Fi's In Ibiza" and the simply terrible "Don't Be Afraid of Love" long for the band to go their separate ways once more.
		But there is an attempt to rescue things towards the end which stops from completely denouncing the comeback of the Lo Fi's.

	WhatzUp (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In my mind the Lo Fidelity Allstars put on the best show Fort Wayne had a chance to see in 1999.
		The Boutique has branches in Berlin, London, New York and Dublin and as regular DJs at these clubs, the Allstars are known to set the night on fire with sets that combine all the classic old-school hip-hoppers with the newest in big-beat electronica.
		This album is a must have for anyone looking to liven up their own dance-floor this summer, whether that be in a sweaty nightclub or in your backyard.

	Lo Fidelity Allstars Return to the States (NY Rock)
		England's rock-techno combo, the Lo Fidelity Allstars, are returning to the States in March to perform the group's first American concert dates since December 1999.
		The Allstars' mini-tour of four select American cities -- Austin, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles -- coincides with the release of Don't Be Afraid of Love, the Lo Fi's follow up to 1999's debut How to Operate With a Blown Mind.
		The Lo Fidelity Allstars will be making their first US return performance with a full band concert -- with labelmates Riddlin' Kids, the Ataris, Quarashi, and X-ecutioners -- at the Columbia Records Showcase at La Zona Rosa at the South By Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas, March 14.

	Anglo Plugging Artist - The British Music Industry's Favourite Pluggers
		In December 1998 they were on the verge of their biggest ever UK tour in support of How To Operate With A Blow Mind, a dark and dizzying debut opus of disco paranoia and tower-block soul.
		Lo-Fidelity Allstars Mark One came together in the mid-'90s, comprising Phil Ward (DJ), his Leeds compadre Andy Dickinson (bass), Matt Harvey (keyboards/samples), Dave Randall (vocals), Johnny Machin (drums) and the camera-shy Martin Whiteman (keyboards/engineer).
		On top of which the Lo Fi's live shows are equal parts gig, rave and call to arms.

	Don't Be Afraid of Love - Lo Fidelity Allstars - Song Listings
		It's never easy to sum up a scene even years after its peak, but with their second album, Lo Fidelity Allstars produced an all-encompassing statement on contemporary dance right in the midst of said scene.
		Shoved along the path to re-creating themselves by virtually imploding on the eve of a big 1999 tour, Lo Fis returned with a statement of purpose on the title track: "we hit the ground running with a new-found sound," over a KLF-style disembodied vocal chorus.
		Just like on their mix sets (exemplified by On the Floor at the Boutique), Lo Fi's know exactly how to effectively pace an album, moving from a blues jam to a party song to a blissed-out vocal with a smooth confidence.

	Lo Fidelity Allstars: How to operate with a blown mind
		While all these rap-punk bands haven't gone much further than Rage Against The Machine, all of them cut from the same cloth where it is impossible to discern them from each other, the UK invades once again.
		I have to say that to find some musical innovation, It is not towards the "United Copycats of America" that we should look to, but instead towards the UK, cradle of pop, techno, punk, new wave, alternative..
		Lo-Fidelity Allstars encroaches upon Tricky et Portishead's trip-hop, but instead of delivering an auto-depressive boredom, they spread a sonic panic.

	Lo Fidelity Allstars
		Originally Fatboy Slim, Bentley Rhythm Ace and Midfield General all were much more exciting than the Lo Fidelity Allstars, but this year, the Lo-Fi's have got so good that they're second only to the almighty Norm.
		Unfortunately the superb new single, Battleflag, failed to make as big a chart impact as was hoped, but still, a top 40 hit is nothing to be sniffed at.
		Lo-fidelity Allstars deserve to be massive, with a sound which is ideal for the end of the Millennium - I think of them as a dancier Asiandubfoundation - How To Operate With A Blown Mind is not quite as good as Rafi's Revenge but it's definitely one of the best albums of the year.

	Lo-Fidelity Allstars - Don’t Be Afraid Of Love - On Second Thought - Stylus Magazine
		Southall compared the album to the more recent disco-punk trend and remarked that it may have been the greatest album in that vein of music.
		With their dark and looming façade lifted, the Lo-Fi Allstars came into their new sound full of a freshness that is usually reserved for the cleansing moisture on grass after a rainstorm.
		But after revisiting both of their albums, and especially this oft-forgotten sophomore album, I’ve realized that they are just too wonderful not to share with the rest of the world.

		Its as if rap, trip-hop, house, techno, and disco had an orgy, and the Lo Fidelity All-Stars gave birth to the b-stard child of it all.
		Yes, "Battleflag" is an incredible track, and it may be the best track the album has to offer, but its certainly not the only thing worth listening to.
		Lo-Fidelity Allstars is one of the handful of break beat artists/groups in dance music that I can tolerate.
