Dubbed 'The Fake LFO' after the Warp LFO's self-titled track became famous in 1990—"Brainstorm", a bleeps & bass track, appeared to cash in the other band's success. The Warp act responded in the track "We Are Back" with the line "There are many imitators...". However, 'The Fake LFO' was the first on the scene, with a very different "Brainstorm" version released on a 1988 acid house LP.
