Was Leftfield Leftism the best album ever?

[Herbert Read]

Both great albums too. Brown album was better than either of those though IMO.

They released a live at Glastonbury album last year and it is amazing, makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck at times. Brilliant memories, One Perfect Sunrise

OH NO I AM NOW GOING ON A STUDENT NOSTALGIA THING

Too late. You're sucked in

You will be playing the cocteau twins by the end of the night.

OK so where would Leftfeild have gone if they hadn't of felt raped by the music industry?

it was a bit lame tbh - a few of the singles leading up to it (song for life, open up) are outstanding, but the album falls short significantly.

i actually thought rhythm & stealth was better...

but anyway, in answer to the OP. no, nowhere even close.

Yeah, me too.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Insides was fucking ace.

 

[killer b]

(they were ToPY fans).

they were members weren't they?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

That said, I did like The Original, mostly because Toni Halliday is cool.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

it's damned good imo. it's got a spanking first track which sets the scene for everyting else that follows

Downwards?

 

[Blagsta]

I think so.

 

[Herbert Read]

Well, all I would suggest is to take copius amount of drugs and listen to Leftism....in fact forget the drugs just take some time out but have a good bass system!

 

[Herbert Read]

The mark of a good album is how good it is sober (and played through a crappy walkman)

If I'm gonna take copious amounts of drugs (it's been a few years now!), I want Smokescreen, DIY, Underground Resistance and Derrick Carter.

Is that 'Ride in the Night' or 'Right in the Night'?

 

[FridgeMagnet]

or Mezzanine.

 

[Blagsta]

or Mezzanine.

This Mortal Coil - It'll End in Tears

 

[Herbert Read]

Yes

Don't hate me hehehe.

 

[Sweaty Betty]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

I think it depends on why you're listening to an album - Leftism is a listen-to album because of the variety of bpms/styles on there, not a get up and jump around album. Same for Sniv and Insides.

*is aware this point has been made before about other stuff*

Thankyou for making me feel younger......I'm 36 on the 1st of May

 

[Herbert Read]

Any Astralasia fans?

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I've just opened up my big CD wallet and it's the "student faves" section. Portishead, In Sides, also DJ Vadim, Lamb, Ruby, David Holmes, This Is Trip Hop (which was a top compilation), Black Dog...

...ah, I've just found an Oxide & Neutrino CD, that'll snap me out of it

 

[_pH_]

Black Dog...

might listen to some now.........but it's not on me HD, so 'Trainer' it is

 

[Ozric]

Made their cash an fecked or I guess

 

[Herbert Read]

The Politics of Ecstasy
Pitched Up at the Edge of Reality

Maybe I should not have mentioned Astralasia with LPs like that
