what do you think of them? i was(am) quite a fan, but somehow i find them to be much more shallow than massive attack for example? is it just me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe they just don't have an ideology ;P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yeah, that came to mind.. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|

I was lucky enough to catch a live show before they split, absolutely devestating amounts of bass. It was a really cool performance aswell not just hiding behind a rack of synths, they were playing live drums and ting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the two of them? or did they get a proper drummer? the bass is wicked on records already..i can only imagine what it must have sounded like live :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then I prefer the second but first two tracks of the first album are top in they career |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"original" is classics |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just the two of them + vocalists coming on for individual tracks. Shame they split....Maybe there will be a reunion ala Spice girls in a few years |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, they were sort of pop band so reunion is quite possible :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
buying leftism like 2 years ago was a bad idea of me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only like them when I'm in the right mood for it, otherwise I think it's boring |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I liked one track off the first album, the really spacey mellow one, can't remember the name , haven't really liked anything else, a little overhyped and overrated IMO |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is "leftfield" also a genre? I've seen stuff put down as "leftfield" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is..not quite sure what it is though..easy listening electronica or something..hmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, it's a term to define anything that diverts from the mainstream, rather ironic that it's being used by the band in question me thinks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like leftifield anyway i'm agree about comparation with massive attack |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
1st album was great lots of different styles and rhythms. waited AGES for 2nd album and it was a shocker. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
weird... then an album put dowwn as "leftfield IDM" in the store deviates from mainstream idm? I'll have to check what leftfield idm sounds like then.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I got into leftfield a long time ago when the song "rhythm and stealth" was used on the animated series "beast machines." the only thing I liked about that show was the intro music. |

tik follows tok follows tik follows tok. if not had a pint of guinness for ages it doesn't get me pissed quickly enough. |

I guess any genre has it's populist elements I.D.M being no exception. BOC,Plaid and Bola are pretty mainstream in that they are pleasant to listen too whereas something like Mandelayev,Squarepusher and Venetian Snares are fairly challenging and therefore could be considered more leftfield. I guess the more wigged out it is and the more it defies convention then the more it edges towards being "leftfield" though let's face it ANY I.D.M. except for perhaps Aphex and BOC isn't really in any danger of seting the charts on fire just yet. |

ok leftism vs rhythm & stealth two of you say you prefer rhythm & stealth. from the moment i got leftism i loved it. i heard rhythm & stealth at a party, i was sitting on the floor in front of a speaker&subwoofer, really really fucking wasted, and loving it. got a loan of it and brought it home, and hated it. never listened again. could you reccomend the best tracks from rhythm & stealth? cause i know i'm missing some goodness, there WERE some animal beats i heard that night, but i just forget... |
||||||||

|
|
yes, in fact, i thought that was on leftism. that was the very first leftfield track i heard, on an o2 (mobile phone company) ad. i even emailed them to find out what it was.. any others apart from that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, I'd say it doesn't necessarily have to be pleasant to listen to to be "mainstream" within the genre of idm. ahpex and autechre aren't always "pleasant" (in the sense that it has fast beats and all of that.. it's pleasing to me, but probably not "mainstream pleasant" as boc and stuff like that). so, then, the only thing that I can think of being leftfield IDM would have to be maroon 5. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually i corrected myself in the next post..i too prefer the 1st one a great deal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why leftfield don't release nothing new? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they broke up :( |
