For all the acclaim heaped upon its widely acclaimed debut album, LEFTISM, Leftfield's sequel is even more interesting. Whereas that first album bounced around, exploring styles and genres (and doing an extremely good job of it, mind you), RHYTHM AND STEALTH is an exceptionally focused record--though it incorporates ambient, techno, and electronica styles, among others, each track seems to part of something larger. This is a massive, dark, and very hard-edged dance record that takes no prisoners.
The album opener, "Dusted," is built around a rolling beat that pulses with power, suggesting a coiled snake about to strike. Both "Phat Planet" and the punishing "6/8 War" have a similar feel, but speed up the pace dramatically--if techno music filled the Top-40 playlists, these are the kinds of tracks that would be played during horror movie chase scenes. "Chant of a Poor Man," "El Cid," and "Rino's Prayer" all play up the ambient textures, but retain the threatening mood of the more beat-oriented tracks. One standout among many is "Afrika Shox," featuring the legendary Afrika Bombaataa on vocals, which looses massive beats, a dense collection of samples, and some super-fast scratching to create a truly stunning dance track.
