I recreated all the sounds I could and uncovered the samples, the synths and the secrets of what went into it.

For me, the greatest electronic album of all time. Absolutely timeless.

that album blew everything out of the water when it came out, bigger than Jilted, Second Toughest, Timeless, maybe even Homework. Whole album still sounds good today.

Has anyone else heard the Underworld steppin razor mix of this Leftfield song ? It’s insane!!!

This album belongs in the hall of fame for the greatest albums of all time. Still as fresh today as when it was first created.

Saw Leftfield live a few years back and they opened with Song of Life. Can’t really put into words how good it was. Excellent tutorial

I always knew in my guts that this volcal sample is from the bulgarian folk music, never did a research, but today I found the proof, so proud and so love Leftfield, buzzing!

It's kind of weird how Leftfield was like the definitive example of what progressive house music sounded like considering that most modern progressive house music nowadays sounds nothing like Leftfield. A lot of their classic stuff like Song of Life, Open Up, and Space Shanty could easily fit well in a "techno" or even a "psytrance" mix in certain circumstances today.

CSI of EDM, love your ability to deconstruct and recreate these tracks. Awesome👌

Ollie Jacobs (Arkarna) was the engineer on this, along with 'Open Up' and 'Space Shanty' which is pretty telling. A real talent that lad.

The strings sound the way they do because the song is in C Dorian rather than Natural Minor, so the A flat in C minor scale (C, D, E♭, F, G, A♭, B♭) is raise a semitone to A. This gives it a slightly brighter sound than the sad sounding Natural Minor and gives the F major IV chord instead of F minor which is that beautiful but slightly unexpected 3rd chord in the progression.
Absolutely love these breakdowns, there's no way we weren't at the same rave at some point during the 90s because every track you breakdown is straight out of my fondest memories playlist. The 303 pitched bassline completely blew my mind, absolutely nailed it, a very special sound indeed. Thank you!

Just found you and your channel via your re-make of The Orbs Little Fluffy Clouds. Now i find the start of the series is Leftfield Song of Life....My conclusion this series is going to explode! 💣

What a timeless tune....timeless album. I remember the first time I heard leftism in the 90s.. absolutely blew me away

Song of Life still rocks, it’s that baseline in the 2nd section that never fails to blow me away… you did a masterful job at recreation 👍

This reminded me of how much of a watershed album Leftism was. Thanks.

Got that on the Tomb Raider Soundtrack as a kid. I is my single favourite piece of music ever - the thing I want to listen to one last time before I finally bite the dust

Leftism is my favourite artist album. Bought in 96 on CD and then treated myself to the vinyl release in 2001.
Great video and if Leftfield have viewed it, I'm sure they are chuffed for your love & respect for their music.

Dance music traditionally doesn't age very well. So listening to Leftism 30+ years later and it still sounds fresh is pure joy! A masterpiece ❤

This album got me into 4/4 dancemusic. I never looked back. To this day my favorite album. It aged so well! ❤️
