Leftfield (Band)

[Homer]

Googled it, Dec 2010 apparently (I was three months out - what a plum!).

[CaledonianGonzo]

Kind of agree that they're maybe not a stong Other headliner but would be a cracking West Holts alternative to Nickelback on the Friday night...

[zeppelin]

I'm not sure they're big enough for other?

Weren't they a very strong rumour for Sonic a few years ago?

Also saw them at the Brixton all-nighter a few years back. What a night! Would love to see them make an appearance.

[EZYSEY]

Yes please. Saw them at brixton Academy a few years ago. Bloody good from what I remember, was pretty spangled. Think that was the original lineup.

Leftism is one of my favourite albums. I'd say the Glade isn't big enough for them so going with West Holts for the big stage in Silver Hayes whatever its called.

[srb]

Saw the 2012 DJ set before Basement Jaxx in Belfast, was decent, but want the full show. Definitely need to be there #TeamLeftfield

[Barefooted_raver]

That new song is stunning... I just played it through my headphones and it is seriously good/ loud/ bassy!

I hope the rest of the album is going to be as good as that. I think that it would be incredible to see them headlining the Glade as the sound system would be well suited to them under there.....The problem is that they are still too big a draw I think. Brixton only a few years back was pretty busy and I can see a lot of people wanting to check them out. (Brixton deafened me after that gig)

Are they similar to Orbital in that they could have an Other Stage Spot? Or is West Holts the place to be? Their name is still pretty big, and I wouldn't be disappointed to see them as 'come back act' Headliners of a stage.

That opening two-fer on Leftism of Release The Pressure into Afro-Left is the bee's knees.

[mozzy]

Coincidentally enough I was watching phone camera footage of Song Of Life from Boardmasters 2010 on YouTube on Saturday & wistfully wondering if I’d ever get the chance to see it performed again! Not getting my hopes for Glastonbury up after the Sonic Stage rumours in 2013 fell through but the tour dates are certainly handily timed & Universal Everything definitely bodes well for the new album too. Death In Vegas into Leftfield on the Other Stage in 2000 is still just about my favourite night at Glastonbury.

Yeah I still remember the first time I listened to the start of Leftism at uni and knew I had discovered something special.

An almost faultless album in my admittedly subjective opinion

[CaledonianGonzo]

Of all their 'rave is the new rock'n'roll' contemporaries (Underworld, Prodigy, Orbital, Chemical Brothers, etc), Leftism is still the best album of the bunch.

[srb]

Leftism is incredible, one of have albums of all time. Open Up the star of the show for me

[FloorFiller]

i listened to Leftism yeaarsss ago when i didn't much care for electronic music and remember not being impressed. think i'm gonna have to give it a re-listen now that i'm not as simple minded musically

It really is one of the finest albums of all time.

Song of Life for me.

I always swing between Leftism and Dubnobass...... as the two electronic albums that I regard as the best. Having recently seen Dubnobass.... in full in Glasgow I'm firmly in that area at the moment. What an incredible show that was. However, Leftfield playing some old school Leftism and some heavy duty beats from the new album, I might be going back again!

[fatyeti24]

Twas the first time I ever felt pain from the bass

[frostypaw]

This is great news, very excited. Went to that last Brixton gig and it was brilliant but hilariously full of middle aged ravers - fingers crossed that new single goes down well and they gain a load of new fans

Ohhhhh look at these tour dates! Looking good chaps and chapettes!

I dropped an edit I've done of that into a set one night, went down rather well.

[Space Shanty]

It really is one of the finest albums of all time.

Song of Life for me.

Yeah definitely the finest electronic album of them all for me.

Many's the night at uni ended up with me completely stoned lying on the bed, lights out, getting lost to Leftism.

Good times!

[EIaine]

Great news. Their gig at the Ulster Hall around 5-6 years ago was so good.

[Barefooted_raver]

Leftism is perfect. Song of Life is the winner for me too.

[eFestivals]

It really is one of the finest albums of all time.

I don't really disagree, and yet...

I gave it a spin a few weeks ago, first time in ages, and it hadn't aged as well as some things do, and sounded a bit too much of its time.

yeah, this. I put in on the other week, and while I had good memories of it, and a pleasant disposition to it, I'm not convinced it's the masterpiece it's made out to be. I reckon we all got a bit carried away back then. Must have been all those pills.

a lot of this has been going on in the Prodigy thread. People bashing the new stuff and reminiscing about the older albums and as good as they are, they sound very much of that era and haven't aged brilliantly.

Same here. Saw dubnogood in its entirety last week in newcastle and it was mind blowing. A masterpiece of an album.

Would love to hear leftism start to Finnish aswel
