I posted a vid here and there on these guys-nada, zip, nothing and now everyone is falling all over themselves to get in on it now FFS.

Anyhow there are not one of my favourite Electronic acts by far and I think bands like Prodigy, Orbital and Future Sound Of London were all a little earlier in the UK scene but Leftfield certainly coalesced a lot of those bands ideas into a cohesive whole. They gave Roots Manuva a leg up, revived interest in John Lydon (for better or worse) and celebrated the brilliance of Afrika Baambaata. I think they showed that you could still make artistically viable music in an oft ignored sub genre and for that they are in for me.
