Excellent from start to finish
Leftism is quite simply an excellent album, there is not a track on this that doesn't belong and all are equally brilliant. It takes you on a ride from start to finish through chilled out beats to faster more up tempo stuff whilst all the while maintaining a great depth of musicality. If you haven't got this album you won't regret making a purhcase that's for sure.

Superb album for anytime
Never ceases to amaze me just how good this album is. The nuances get better with every listening and you can listen at any time to this album, either late at night with the volume down, mellow and content or with more volume and making life a little easier! Fantastic album - you won't regret getting hold of a copy.

what was the sky like when you were young?
Pretty much the same as it is now, yet there are some people who neither now or then have even bothered to take a look. Just like they have never bothered to take a listen to this album. Still I'm sure some will have their reasons or distractions of another sort. Shame! afterall for there are so many beautiful things to appreciate in this song of life. This album is one of them. If you ar eone of the lucky ones then be glad that you are. For those who remain distracted - HELLO!!!!! take a look - at least in the used/new section and you will thank me eternally for telling you this!

A record that trancends ever genre
I rate this as one of the greatest albums of all time. A collection of pulsatingly versatile tracks that trancend every musical genre and deserves to placed in the same bracket as Miles Davis´s, "A kind of Blue."
It´s a tour de force, an explration of rhythm and melody that showcases electronic music at it´s best, pushing boundaries, challenging your conceptions of space and time.
To start with "Release the pressure," has me lost in a constant daydream that I never wake up from. "Athro left," is an energetic enthnic cauldron that has me jumping up and down. Then we find the classic "Original," so delicately arranged, it´s accessible to any music fan. Listen to, "Black Flute." I like to lay back on my bed and it just pulls me along.
I bought this the day it was released and it still sounds like it was made yesterday. It´s still near the top of my very large pile of CD´s,
go buy it if you haven´t got it,
Dave

Desert island disc
I have around 700 CDs and this is the best of the lot. It's the only album I have which I can play all the way through. There are no fillers, no average tracks. Every single one is a highlight although 'Release the pressure', 'Space shanty' and 'Open up' just have the slightest edge over the rest. 'Leftism' is frequently mentioned as the best ever 'dance' or 'electronica' album. That's not much of a compliment considering the poor quality of 99% of dance music. IMO, the only 'dance' albums that come anywhere close are Orbital's brown album, Underworld's 'Dubnobass..' and Fluke's 'Puppy' and 'Risotto'. Nope. 'Leftism' is frankly the best album I've ever heard and is one of the few that I still play regularly, even almost a decade after its release.
