I only really heard the track from The Beach soundtrack, Snakeblood, and I really liked it. The only else I've heard is a few tracks I downloaded, one I liked is Renagade Soundwave.
Who hear likes them, any recommendations?

leftism sound quite badly dated as an album, rythem and stealth still rocks: get afrika shox, dusted, phatt planet and possibly a swords d'n'b remix. a final hit is hard to find but very good (sorta like if boc did LFO)

leftism is a pretty good record, a perfect 9/10, but rhythm&stealth is quite disappointing.... 7/10 anyway of this sort of things I prefer of course the aphex twin

I saw them live with Utah Saints supporting. Very good gig. They did this messed up think where they had a fast high pitched alarm in sync with sub-audible bass so it gave the impression that the alarm was causing the "bass hit". Very dis-orientating, but cool. It would have been mad if you were drunk/high!

It's a real shame they broke up, they were wicked live, never felt such bass in my life. I still see Paul Daley playing at Fabric now and again, he is a superb Tech house / Techno DJ.

havent heard rhythm & stealth but leftism is a classic, right up there with in sides in my opinion.
i saw them live a couple of times and the bass was ridiculous. the intro at one of the gigs was 2 mintues of pure bass. i love the story about them taking thier own sound system to brixton academy and making plaster fall from the ceiling.

leftfield are very good and still important in my opinion,as well as orbital and underworld.it's not afx that's sure,but leftism is a good techno trance album and it's not dated.i recoomend it to all fsol fans.rhythm and stealth has not the same power but it's a good electro album reccomended if you like tls'tiny reminders

Props to leftfield for breaking some serious ground in the dance scene with Leftism. Apparently they had to stop a performance dead in its tracks, after high levels of sub-bass began shaking ceiling plaster on to the crowd!
I personally enjoy Rhythm and Stealth better. It's got some killer dub tunes. Leftism is a classic, but it's a little too commercial for my tastes.

I've got their first album, which I bought only because I had heard of them once before.
It's pretty good, not really 'melodic' but with nice rhythms and soft beats (perhaps too soft?)...
It's suppose to be real good for it's date, original and stuff.

Listening to Snakeblood right now, so thought I'd do a little look-up. This past week I heard 'Afrika Shox' quite a few times in obscure places.
Anyway, Leftfield without a doubt were a big impact on the dance scene for quite some time...sad they split. I love both of their albums, but I think I'm a little more partial to R&S. If you ever want a bass tester use their song 'Phat Planet.'
Leftfield are class.

I like them, the album Leftism is the best, there were a ton of thier tracks used on the "Hackers" volumes 1-3 soundtracks.
By the way, you can get both of their albums from ColumbiaHouse if you're into that membership stuff.

rhythm & stealth was a long time in the making and in the end wasn't worth the wait. there's some nice stuff there but nothing great. leftism is one classy album, one of the best of the 90s, especially song for life.

quite a coincidence i bought leftism the other day but i haven't really listened to it yet cos i was worried it would be shit.
i thought (for some reason) that it would have the track from the guiness advert on it (with the surfers). is that by leftfield? and which album is it on?

as a lot of other people have said: leftism is great (i dont think its dated THAT much).. i dont listen to it all the time, but i have a big revival every now & then. works better as a whole than individual tracks. but tunes like 'song of life' are very good.
wasn't as impressed with r&s when it came out. think its more of a grower.. more an album of decent individual tracks than a cogent whole (opposite of leftism i guess).
not too sure why anyone's comparing them with afx.. sure, its electornica/techno.. but its not at all the same style.
in its own right, still better than a lot of other artists who tried to make the same kind of techno records.
thanks for reminding me of snakeblood.. gone to dig out the beach ost..
