	Leftfield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leftfield are a duo of electronica artists and record producers, Paul Daley (formerly of A Man Called Adam and the Brand New Heavies) and Neil Barnes formed in 1989 in London, England.
		Leftfield is well-known to a mainstream UK audience for their track "Phat Planet", which soundtracked the "Surfers" TV advertisement for Guinness, ranked #1 in Channel 4's Top 100 Adverts list in 2000.
		At the very first Leftfield gig, in Amsterdam, the Dutch police was close to arresting the soundman due to the sound system reaching illegal volumes.

	Leftfield - Latest news, reviews and interviews
		It was a prediction that by the Summer of 1996 had literally come true: during a gig on the 'Leftism' tour at London's Brixton Academy, sound levels reached the highest ever recorded at the venue, while the bass vibrations caused the ceiling to start disintegrating, showering dust and plaster onto the stage.
		Leftfield have spent three years struggling to invent new cathedrals of sound, racked by the fear that they could never do anything as good as 'Leftism' again.
		Leftfield knew there was an electro revival coming last year, but typically, weren't too fussed about getting on board.

		But while so many of the producers that filled 1992's leather-trousered dancefloors have spent the last two years doing little more than honing their patent ecstatic breakdowns, Leftfield have moved on, never conforming, never playing the game by the rules, but always staying one crucial step ahead of the pack.
		Leftfield have taken their history, their shared heritage of two decades of living steeped in London's underground culture and served it up as a clear pointer to our musical future.
		The next piece of the Leftfield cultural jigsaw was slipped in when a friend introduced him to the spiritual delights of dub reggae.

		Leftfield are surely dance music's most reluctant victims.
		That John Lydon "graced" Leftfield's incendiary "Open Up" with his sneering, snarling pitbull lines is proof of how important Barnes and Daley were perceived to be.
		Leftfield definitely want us to recall Leftism, but they also point a defining finger into the future.

		From the interstellar dancehall vibes of "Release The Pressure" to the languid splendour of "Melt" and the peerless dancefloor dynamics of "Song Of Life", Paul Daley and Neil Barnes prove themselves jacks of all trades and masters of them all.
		Leftfield "Leftism" is certainly one the finest dance albums ever made and will most certainly go down as a classic album.
		When this album was released, it was at a time in the 90's when dance/electronic music was starting to decay, but Leftfield found something left in the genre and they took it to new levels.

	Leftfield - Unofficial Discography
		Leftfield were famous in the studio for their brilliant remixes of such artists as Adamski and Detroit house legend Kevin Saunderson's Inner City project.
		Leftfield had a different interpretation of house than the British djs who invented acid-house, and their style was a bit beatier, more personified, and built up in a progression.
		Leftfield produced and performed the single with Lydon and the 12" featured a 13 minute epic overdrive version which stripped the track down and rebuilt the fundamental beat and rhythm with a new bass line.

	Rolling Stone : Leftfield Got Rhythm
		It's been nearly four years since Leftfield proffered the swarming urban rhythms of Leftism, and the British rock media have turned their absence into an epic drama, like the one they spun in '95 for the Stone Roses' second effort, Second Coming.
		But Leftfield did not spend their time blowing a large record company advance on partying, as the Roses were rumored to have done.
		Leftfield is currently gearing up for a tour throughout November and possibly doing some music for films.

		Considering that Leftfield have only actually released five singles, they have over four years, but largely concentrated into two - Paul Daley and Neil Barnes, and have become a major force on the UK dance scene.
		Their name is instantly associated with a distinct quality found wanting in any other areas and whilst on his own Paul Daley continues to be in demand for his distinct DJ'ing style, they further widened their range with the amazing Leftfield Livism tour of '95.
		The debut album from Leftfield which hit the #1 slot in the album charts in '95, and was supported by their brilliant 'Livism' Tour.

	Leftfield: Leftism ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Barnes recorded 1990's debut single "Not Forgotten" on his own, but it was Daley's freewheeling remix that grabbed the attention of clubbers.
		The slow gestation period of Leftism was filled by Hard Hands' championing of the emerging junglist scene and taster singles like "Song of Life" and "Open Up," which raised expectations to a simmer.
		Leftism distilled the revolutionary sounds of the early '90s into timeless songs, and even as the second Leftfield album approaches, the debut sounds fresher than 1999's flavor-of-the-month junglists and big beaters.

		Inspection (Check One) could be twisted, wizzened, irregular hip-hop until the reverbed voice pulls away and some cut-up drums come in, and then the words come back, innocuously jungle-fast compared to the swaggering drums.
		It's easy to see why it was so influential: it showed that dance music could have real subtlety and intelligence to it, rather than just moving people's feet and selling records.
		That's not to say there aren't a lot of flaws; in my opinion, the album would have worked a lot better as a continuous mix, because the tracks taken separately are pretty fragmented.

	village voice > music > Leftfield Rhythm and Stealth by Frank Kogan
		It took a while for the more atmosphery-ambient tracks to click in; now that they have, my basic feeling is that Leftfield could make a leaking faucet sound dramatic.
		Kraftwerk's a well-oiled synth next to the Chemical Brothers' and Leftfield's clangy old garbage cans." As if in response, Leftfield on their new album put a deliberately Kraftwerkian synth melody onto "Afrika Shox," along with space rays and robot voices.
		The rest of the Leftfield album, Rhythm and Stealth, is quite excellent, though I've promised to be at a loss for words about it.

		Leftfield: Neil Barnes, Paul Daley (various instruments, programming).
		Whereas that first album bounced around, exploring styles and genres (and doing an extremely good job of it, mind you), RHYTHM AND STEALTH is an exceptionally focused record--though it incorporates ambient, techno, and electronica styles, among others, each track seems to part of something larger.
		One standout among many is "Afrika Shox," featuring the legendary Afrika Bombaataa on vocals, which looses massive beats, a dense collection of samples, and some super-fast scratching to create a truly stunning dance track.

		Paul Daley (a former member of A Man Called Adam and the Brand New Heavies) and programmer Neil Barnes combined the classic soul of early Chicago and New York house with the growing Artificial Intelligence school of album-oriented techno to create classic, intelligent dance music.
		When legal hassles over ownership of the Leftfield name prevented the pair from recording their own music after the release of their debut "Not Forgotten," they turned to remixing, establishing their early reputation for reworking tracks by artists ranging from Stereo MC's and David Bowie to Yothu Yindhi and Renegade Soundwave.
		With only two albums under their belt, Leftfield decided to split in early 2002 to focus on solo projects.

		Perhaps wishing to move from progressive-house flagwavers to trip-hop super-producers on a par with Massive Attack, Leftfield returned after almost five years of silence with a set of blunted trip-hop jams, stoned to say the least -- though glimmers of their house background do show through.
		The one track that might make fans yearn for the heady days of 1993, "El Cid," begins with the ephemeral synth for which Leftfield has been known, but soon moves into breakbeat territory.
		As Rhythm and Stealth shows time and time again, it's definitely not 1993 anymore, and Leftfield has moved on with a grace and mastery of production seldom seen in the dance world.

		The now-notorious chug of "Phat Planet" is likewise irresistible - its sole calling card a distorted, quasi-bass rumble that doesn't so much invade your space as occupy your territory.
		Elsewhere, though, Leftfield's new approach does them no favors.
		"Chant of a Poor Man" and "Dub Gusset" are completely technofied updates of Leftfield's dub formula, and suffer from the lack of warming percussion and bass.

		They have an uncanny ability to mix break beats, house beats, and ambient overtones, with some nice sprinkles of hip-hop.

	Armchair DJ: Music Review: Leftfield: Leftism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		It's been four years since Leftfield made the leap from the 12-inch import bin to the CD racks at your local Best Buy with their full-length debut, "Leftism." Hailed by many in the duo's native England as the best dance album ever, it can't help but suffer in the glare of its own legend.
		But from the electronic skank of opener "Release the Pressure" to the rippling pulse that closes the album with a sense that the beat goes on, "Leftism" is a rewarding listen through and through.
		Half a decade later "Rhythm and Stealth" offered us a more contemplative, less joyous Leftfield.
