Leftfield "Leftism" (1995)
Formed by two percussionist DJs, Leftfield had previously released a number of
singles with various guests. Though their music is very much in the
electronic genre with trancey soundscapes mixing with house synths, they
brought in vocalists from other genres like rock (Toni Haliday and John
Lydon), reggae (Danny Red, Earl Sixteen) and even a poet (Lemm Sissay).
The duo started their debut album by tweaking and re-purposing some of
the tracks they'd released as singles over the previous years then went
from there, developing new music.
I heard enough here to enjoy, though I wouldn't say that the album really
seized my attention for the duration. Another "I'll listen to it if
someone puts it on, but I won't seek it out" album.
