1230.0. "Leftfield" by KERNEL::HOGGAND () Wed Aug 10 1994 19:21

    Hi
    
    Does anyone know anything about a group/individual call Leftfield?
    There was a recent song between Leftfield and Phil Lydon which (IMO)
    was so-so and I again heard them on Radio 1 on Sunday morning (about
    3,00-ish). It sounded like trace/ambient, but given my blood/alcohol
    level I suppose that most things would have seemed ambient. Anyway, it
    sounded pretty good.
    
    Any track/album names recommendations?
    
    Cheers, dave

    'Open Up' by Letfiel/John Lydon.
    
    One of my favourite tracks of 1993

    Well, the new Leftfield album "Leftism" is out next week (30th JAN)
    after many abortive attempts at releasing it.
    
    Dave.

From what I've heard on the radio (evening session and Peel) it's
pretty good.  Also enjoyed the title music they did for "Shallow Grave"

    FWIW - the album "Leftism" is reviewed in this weeks NME and gets a
    massive 9.  Must be good then !

1230.7Purchase of the week.KERNEL::HOGGANDTue Jan 31 1995 18:178
    Well, despite the music press raving about the album, it's actually
    pretty good. Sort of a trance/dance type beat with markedly few vocals
    (other than on the recent(?) hit OPEN UP).
    
    IMO Rates  better than the Astralasia "Politics of Ecstacy".
    
    Dave (cynical about anyth. the music press likes).

    have to place a bulk order with BeeBees soon!

Got hold of this yesterday, I like it lots, but I have a nagging feeling
that it really is Underworld meets Recoil meets Transglobal Underground.

Is that Tony Halliday I can hear on one of the track?  Just like on Recoil's
last album?

Guy

p.s. Open Up has wicked bass, just the thing to drive your neighbours mental.
1230.10KERNEL::HOGGANDWed Feb 08 1995 13:494
    Yep, I believe it's Toni Halliday.
    
    Dave
    
1230.11JURA::LETCHERIf not for good; if not for betterWed Feb 08 1995 14:036
    Almost certainly the worng note, this, but is it Leftfield that also
    feature sinead O Connor on a song or two? Or could it conceivably be
    Massive? I bought the TransGlobal Underground album in the mistaken
    impression it was that, and it's not. Pointers appreciated...
    
    Piers
1230.12Not this one...KERNEL::HOGGANDWed Feb 08 1995 14:587
    Well, I think I can honestly say that (IMO the very talented) Miss
    O'Conner is not featured on this Leftfield album.
    
    If I remember, I can check the Massive album tonight.
    
    Dave
    
1230.13PUPAE::FIDDLER_MThe sense of being dulls my mindWed Feb 08 1995 15:136
    I think Sinead does vocals on a couple of tracks for Bomb the Bass.  I
    don't think the album is out yet, but I heard one (v good) track on the
    radio, and she was mentioned in the NME interview with Tim Simmythingy
    the other week.

    It was Bomb The Bass, I'm sure of it. My mate had a pre-release vinyl
    copy of the record in question, but being unable to move my eyes or
    hands, mouth or eyes at the time of listening I never did find out what
    it was. I know we heard, amongst other things, Portishead, Massive, TGU
    and Bomb the Bass.
    
    Thanks

    Love the single that came out a few months back by BTB - Bug summit or
    uther - exellent song - and video.
    There's a bit in the video where you can only see his shadow and when
    he moves slowly round his shadow is exactly like the Alien.
