Release

Frequencies was originally released by Warp in the United Kingdom, while it was later released by Tommy Boy Records in the United States. The US edition of the album alters the track listing slightly, inserting "Track 14", which concludes the UK edition, 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? " were released as singles.
In 2009, the Warp20 compilation featured covers of "LFO" and "What Is House? " by Luke Vibert and Autechre, respectively.
