Perhaps wishing to move from progressive-house flagwavers to trip-hop super-producers on a par with Massive Attack, Leftfield returned after almost five years of silence with a set of blunted trip-hop jams, stoned to say the least -- though glimmers of their house background do show through. Aside from a few uptempo stormers "Double Flash," "Swords" reminiscent of a slightly less frenetic Jeff Mills, house fans looking for anthems worthy of "Not Forgotten" might be disappointed.

The grooves on Rhythm and Stealth are a bit too languid and the productions a bit too intricate for dancefloor consumption. The one track that might make fans yearn for the heady days of , "El Cid," begins with the ephemeral synth for which Leftfield has been known, but soon moves into breakbeat territory. Hip-hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa makes an appearance on the excellent "Afrika Shox," taking the mic on a brutal electro throwdown.

As Rhythm and Stealth shows time and time again, it's definitely not anymore, and Leftfield has moved on with a grace and mastery of production seldom seen in the dance world. Dusted Electronic Folk International. Jazz Latin New Age. Aggressive Bittersweet Druggy.

Still releasing other bands strictly on Hard hands, Leftfield took to working on more of their own material.

They had grown tired of remixing, and admitted that they had taken several of their own ideas to do remixes, and would rather save them for their own material. It certainly would take a lot for anything bad to come out of Leftfield, since all the remixes were brilliant anyway. But in early , after a year or so of disappearance, Leftfield were ready for their long-long-awaited debut LP. It had been 5 years since "Not Forgotten" and fans were skeptical at the unleashing of the new Leftfield, even Columbia wondered if their fans were still around.

Sifting in and out of their old singles and all new material, the album explored all facets of dance music, and many other styles as well.

From progressive to trance, to reggae, to ambient, Leftfield were the masters of it all, and the album proved their complete mastery of techno, and could make anyone stop dead in their tracks and rethink their opinion of dance music.

Far above any record released of the genre, or any record released in , "Leftism" struck home, and critical acclaim followed. Reworking their early single "Song Of Life" into a version, the track was completely rebuilt and stood as brilliant today as it did in In fact, better, sharper beats and an unstoppable bass proved Leftfield were again on top of it, and that everyone was still years behind.

Recently, Leftfield released the limited single for their album track, "Afro-Left", the brilliant original features Djum Djum on a ragga vocal, backed by classy Leftfield beats. Could anyone ask for any more from artists? Not much. If they quit now, it would take years for anyone to catch up anyway. Leftfield are invading America as we speak, watch the bass bins.
