Formed in 1988, Leftfield quickly became one of the most influential and innovative dance music acts of all time. Originally comprised of Neil Barnes and Paul Daley, Leftfield’s legendary live-performances paired with seminal albums, 1995s Leftism and 1999s Rhythm & Stealth (both Mercury Music Prize nominees), solidified their position as true pioneers.
The group then went on a hiatus in 2002 before returning in 2010 for live-appearances (now led solely by Barnes).. 2015’s Alternative Light Source was the first Leftfield album in sixteen years. The record garnered acclaim from The Guardian, The Observer, Uncut, Mojo and more, and featured Jason Williamson (Sleaford Mods) and Tunde Adebimpe (TV on The Radio), amongst others. In 2017 the band reissued their classic album Leftism, remastering the original 11 tracks of the record and releasing 11 remixes. They returned with This Is What We Do (2022) and will be on tour at festivals this Summer (2023).
Nice idea, but scary. Being very left-handed and left field myself I resent the term sinister. Even something like cack handed or south paw. Just because people somewhere used to wipe their arse with their left hand... I D K!
There are some acts still touring and repackaging their best album from 1998. And then there are people who, time reveals, were always a step ahead of the pack, and will keep making new shit as long as they are able to release it.
I only found it few years ago ... now I've nearly learned Japanese and I'm on repeat with drawing all day,,, I go in too a job too complain and they now offer me the job 😂
