I don't agree with Chomster's smugness completely, I think that theory & leftfield (pseudo) "intellectualism" needs to have a niche that is entertaining, of which Zizek surely fills the void of. But, Chomsky, is a stick to the facts sort, which is why I find Chomsky to be so important. We can't refute the facts and Chomsky is a great analyst of history.

What is it that Zizek exactly does? He is influential for being a sort of thinking man's political comedian, a jester to a degree; I think that is, in and of itself important (even inspirational) but I can see Chomsky's critical perspective in seeing it as just a bunch of posturing (jester prancing in a circle; ouroboros) that gets nothing done.

How could you forget Royksopp? You make me a sad panda.

you forgot zero 7,gotan project,dead can dance,amon tobin,sneaker pimps.
those are actual bands...they play instruments..trip hop is amazing.
again,as i stated..i like techno,but i do not agree that having the ability to use reson or acid pro should be a validation of supremacy over actual musicianship.
talented?creative? of course.
more relevant than actual musicians? never.
the bands you posted are just that...bands.

Whoa leftfield Kidney punch!

Good comment Joe.

Am I an anti semite if I say "Fuck the Jews"?

Wipeout has been one of my favorite games since it's release on the PC, it was the first I remember playing that would really convey the feeling of actually racing at preposterous speeds.

The interesting thing is that the original developers actually hired professional designers to come up with the distinctive look and feel of the futuristic world, especially in the logos and various billboards around the race tracks. Some of which you can see in the video above.

The soundtrack was perfect as well featuring throughout the series artists like Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Leftfield and Cold Storage. Electronic techno beats that leaded themselves perfectly to the anti-gravity racing.

shit yeah leftfield is a good idea. But i just feel weird when i start fucking in rhythm. ugh. i feel weird just thinking about it actually.

leftfield is good for it.
have done it to pink floyd - division bell and the smiths too, not particularly advisable

Well then you are a singular anomaly as I haven't seen anyone else thinking am doing anything shitty.

I discarded the Leftfield sift because it did make us both look bad so I took it down?

My collective is not elitist, ask anyone who asked for an invitation.

Have you tried to converse or PM me normally? No, you always get passive aggressive with stupid silly crap like this online, like you have some crap from your daily life that you need to take out on people. So I don't appreciate that. ”

“It's a video, an extremely rude discard and an insultative, blatant editing of a description to cover your tracks plus make my comment look random/agressive. It's the latter that I find truly disappointing; the other two are minor, but your elitist 'Obscure' attitude makes me feel like treating you the same.

“A 'personal thing'? If anything, it's your blatant editing that's to blame for any tarnishing of that Sift - and also the reason you pulled it. Honestly Farhad, after you posting this, discarding your Sift I saved, and doing the shit on this Leftfield vid - I'm struggling for a reason not to excommunicate you.

Someone please tell me why this pumping ass version never made it to the album? The album version is shit compared to this! This is my favourite Leftfield song

Leftfield were a duo of electronica artists and record producers, Paul Daley (formerly of A Man Called Adam and the Brand New Heavies) and Neil Barnes, formed in 1989 in London, England. The name Leftfield was originally used simply by Neil Barnes for the first single Not Forgotten but after this Paul Daley was involved firstly in remixing songs and then in the creation of following music[1]. The pair were pioneers in the fields of intelligent dance music and progressive house, being the first to fuse house music with dub and reggae [Release the Pressure (1995)]. They furthermore were among the first electronic musicians to incorporate live guest vocalists, along with The Chemical Brothers and Underworld. Ultimately the duo have been influential on the electronic genre as a whole, with The Crystal Method's Scott Kirkland referring to them in 2005 as "The best Electronic band period."

Their downtempo music style has inspired a genre which has been recognised as simply leftfield, with several charts appearing in magazines such as DJ magazine and Mixmag. The genre is also known as "Chillout".
