Does anyone know what exactly happened to Leftfield? i know they split a few years ago, but what are they up to now? Is there any chance of them reforming?

Apparently they tried to do a follow up to Rhythm and Stealth but it didn't happen so they called it quits. I think they do remixes under their own names, but I haven't seen anything new for a while...

I hope they do another album.



The pressures off now so maybe things will come together for them.



Leftism was a hard album to follow and they are perfectionists so it was never gonna be good enough for them i think.

Paul Daley is regulary doing remixes, lately for Massive Attack and Afrika Bambaataa.



Neil Barnes turned very quiet, although a solo track appeared on the "Long Time Dead" soundtrack. Wicked dark minimal crazyness! 8)

Yeah man, anyone who has any vague interest in dance music should check out Leftism, it's essential.

Even Rythm n Stealth's got some good shit, though the whole disc doesn't spin as well as Leftism.

They should come back!

Leftfield are to release a best of compilation to coincide with the tenth anniversary of their debut album.



?A Final Hit? is out on October 3, and comes ten years after the release of their debut album ?Leftism?.



?A Final Hit? will feature their early hard-to-find 12? releases ?Not Forgotten? and ?More Than I Know? alongside their hits, including Open Up? which features John Lydon.



A limited edition version of the album comes with a bonus DVD and includes videos for ?Open Up?, ?Original?, ?Afro Left?, ?Release The Pressure?, ?Afrika Shox?, ?Dusted? and ?Swords?.



Bandmember Neil Barnes said: ?I had never sat down and listened to the music that spanned our career in this way before. The essence of Leftfield was to simply make exciting music, push back some boundaries, and to take creative steps forward. We had some great fun on the way.?



The tracklisting runs:



* ?Release The Pressure?

* ?Afro-Left?

* ?Song Of Life?

* ?Original?

* ?Storm 3000?

* ?Open Up?

* ?Dusted?

* ?Phat Planet?

* ?Afrika Shox?

* ?Not Forgotten?

* ?A Final Hit?

* ?Swords?

* ?Shallow Grave?

* ?Snakeblood?

* ?More Than I Know?
