I know for sure Leftfield is a group/person/band/etc. But
in MUZIK under reviews it also listed it as a category of
music...what kinda music is it??? would the band leftfield
be under the style leftfield??

I'm pretty sure Leftfield is associated with musical styles
like Garage, Punk, and Grunge. Couldn't tell you exactly
what it sounds like, but that's what I've gathered in my
experiences.

there are some that say that the genre leftfield is named
after leftfield (as in leftism, rythm&stealth).

then there are some that say it's just another word for
'indie'.

I don't know.. I never use it.

My friend (who is into leftfield music) say leftfield (the
band) aren't actually leftfield in genre. Leftfield refers
to being "out there" which the band surely are.

I saw them live with Utah saints before they (leftfield)
broke up. It was a good night.

This is the leftfield that did afrika shox right? I
wouldn't consider them punk or grunge...I always thought of
them as electronic with a litle bit of reggae thrown in on
some songs.

Leftfield in the music reviews refers to left-of-field
music, or what we seem to call IDM. Its generally stuff that
can't be pigeonholed into d n 'b, house, breaks, garage,
techno or trance.

I didn't know the band Leftfield had split up. Leftism is a
classic. esp Song of Life.

It's just another term to use now that "alternative" has
been entirely spent from whoring.

There's 'alternative' rock now that is as alternative as my
arse. Ahem. Nickleback for example have a grunge sound but
its well shit and its bought by total doughnuts; people who
have Travis and Moby in their collections - fuckin vermin.

Yeah, that's just natural I suppose: look at Pearl Jam who
used to be very "alternative" an' all and now you have all
these bands ripping their sound off completely but adding a
classic cock-rock posture to it. This is why "alternative"
has become a dirty word and why "those who know" use the
term leftfield.
