More than once I’ve read reviews that called Leftfield’s Leftism “the greatest dance record ever.” To that I say, “OK.” It’s good all right; that’s for sure. Leftism was their debut. I’ve had their second, darker and somewhat minimalist, record Rhythm and Stealth for some years, and it’s one of my favorites. I couldn’t find Leftism easily because it’s now out of print. Then, just recently I discovered SecondSpin.com. I’m sure they’ve been in business for quite a while, but they’re new to me. They have used CDs, DVDs and games, the prices are great, and best of all they have hard to get stuff like this record. You can bet I’m going to be picking up a lot of back catalog stuff from them.
Anyhow, the Leftfield deal is like this: They are two DJs with numerous guest vocalists (no less than John Lydon on this one) and have been described as the finest example of freestyle British club music. Yes.

so now your buying new (to you) stuff to put on…still waiting on the Fleshtones brotha
I’m with Jeff…I can’t believe that you’ve already exhausted your existing collection. Certainly, the existing collection is an impressive and voluminous repository of musical delight, however, this is a fraction of what I had imagined. I figured I’d be checking out this sight a few times a week for the next few years before you got to new material?
Who’s making the rules here? And anyhow, it’s part of the same collection. But I’ll post some really old junk tonight just for you, two.
I like Gerrit.
