From Amazon.co.uk
When Leftfield began to work on the succesor to 1995's half-million selling
Leftism, it swiftly became obvious that only a perfect record would do. Punk veterans Neil Barnes and Paul Daley had, with the harsh ethno-house of
Leftism, torn an indelible fissure in techno's landscape, but to stay ahead of the game, they needed an album that once more redrew the goalposts. Three years later,
Rhythm And Stealth finally emerged. Heralded by the brutal pulse of "Phat Planet", which was featured on a visually spectacular Guinness advert,
Rhythm And Stealth thundered in with all guns blazing, but quietly impressed, rather than shattered preconceptions. "Dusted", featuring rapper
Roots Manuva, and "Afrika Shox", featuring hip-hop legend
Afrika Bambaataa, were both sterling examples of brooding electro, but neither hold a candle to the John Lydon collaboration "Open Up" from
Leftism. It's the staunch battery of "Double Flash" or the shimmering presence of "Swords" that proves the backbone of
Rhythm And Stealth.
