Leftfield

Leftism

Leftfield formed in London in 1989 and from then until 2002 was the duo of Neil Barnes and Paul Daley, formerly of The Rivals and A Man Called Adam. After Daley stepped away, Barnes revived the project in 2010 with a live band that includes Adam Wren and Sebastian Beresford.

Leftism came out on January 30, 1995 in the UK and August 15 in the US on Hard Hands and Columbia. It was produced by Leftfield, recorded between 1992 and 1995 at Rollover Studios in London, runs 69:37, and reached number 3 in the UK, where it is double platinum. It is largely built from earlier singles re-recorded plus new tracks, and the guest vocalists were chosen from outside dance music: Toni Halliday, John Lydon, Danny Red, Earl Sixteen and Lemn Sissay.
