5.0 out of 5 stars A real grower, 8 Sep 2000

By	M. J. Axtell "Jimmy Luxury" (Exeter) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Rhythm and Stealth (Audio CD)

I must say that this album is a real grower. I remember being so wound up over it, but then being slightly disappointed after hearing it, expecting it to be anything like Leftism. But it ain't. It is a fantastic diversification from the ghost of Leftism and proves Leftfield's versatility in an ever expanding world of pop. From the pulsing madness of Phat Planet, the divine rap that is Dusted (sounds great in a car with mucho bass) and the dulcet tones of Nicole Wilis on Swords and back up again with Afrika Shox, Double Flash and 6/8 War, ther is a track for everyone here. It's definitely one of the finest albums i have ever heard, but beware Chant Of A Poor Man. It totally hammers car speakers and rattles your interior off of it's mounts. It's a killer. Drum n'Bass next please, Leftfield.

4.0 out of 5 stars Different, yet vey good follow-up, 17 Nov 2002

By	"big_o_g" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rhythm and Stealth (Audio CD)

Rythym & Stealth is no Leftism - and its not meant to be. Form the opener 'Dusted' featuring Roots Manuva through the familialy pounding repetitive bass of 'Phat Planet', you can tell the album is a lot less up lifting, more moody than anything else. 'Chant of a Poor Man'; destroys your speakers, while double flash chugs along repetitively before the amazing 'El Cid' fades in, the ambient, bassy, didigerdooey masterpiece which melds into the start of 'Afike Shox', one of the standouts from the album. Featuring Afrika Bambaataa the dark atmospherics and funky beat never fails to please. The repetitive and bassy 'Dub Gussett' follows, which, with some crazy effects, drops into 'Swords', another standout track with weird atmospherics and vocals from Nicole Harris. '6/8 War' pounds along until 'Rino's Prayer' comes in to sum up the CD, the far-out vocals and trippy ambience mixes with the bass and the beat to make a great chill-out experience.

Slightly scary music from the duo, still worth buying though

4.0 out of 5 stars Give it space, 30 Oct 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Rhythm and Stealth (Audio CD)

Strange, very strange. I got this on the day of its release, fired up by Phat Planet and of course Leftism, listened to it avidly for about a month - just couldn't get enough of the dark, juicy loudness of it - but then for some reason it just slipped off my radar. I sympathise with reviewers who say there was nothing to engage with, I found that too I think.

Then, completely out of the blue, the other day I suddenly had '6/8 War' going round and round my head, and it stayed there until I finally got the record out and listened to it again. What a brilliant piece of work this is. I can't believe I haven't bothered with it for so long. The dark, dubby minimalism starts looking wildly before its time - this sounds like prototype Grime almost - and the record as a whole is dense and many-layered.

If you were disappointed when you bought it, try it again.
