| | Leftfield Leftism CD Leftfield Discography of CDs
With Leftism, Leftfield made the crossover of techno into the pop mainstream two years before the likes of the Chemical Brothers. Embarking on a series of high-profile collaborations, they introduced to the charts a musical manifesto that had been popular in the clubs for years - including ambient ('Song Of Life'), pure techno, ragga, African tribal chants ('Afro-Left') and the all-important remix. The pumping, snarling 'Open Up', featuring John Lydon, predated the Prodigy in its blend of punk and dance, and 'Original', with Curve's Toni Halliday, ironically inspired a multitude of imitators. Most of these tracks have become ubiquitous through mainstream television and film, and it is easy to forget that, before Leftfield, techno music had only rarely stepped outside clubland.
Recorded at Rollover Studios, London, England.
Engineers: Joe Gibb, Adam Wren, Ollie J., Simon Duffy.
Leftfield: Neil Barnes, Paul Daley.
Additional personnel: Earl Sixteen, Papa Dee, Djum Djum, Toni Halliday, Danny Red, John Lydon, Lemn Sissay (vocals); Kevin Haynes (berimbau).

Purchase Leftism CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Jeffrey Osborne Ultimate Collection CD (1999)
Leftism album
 $11.99   
Recorded between 1976 and 1990. Includes liner notes by Steven Ivory.
Without question, Jeffrey Osborne was one of the most polished and accomplished R&B vocalists of the '80s -- but his career also stretched back into the '70s, as he was the vocalist for the long-running funk ensemble L.T.D. This compilation includes those years, making it the most thorough greatest-hits survey of Osborne's career to date. Still, all of the great moments from his solo endeavors are what make this a truly worthwhile purchase. His biggest hits for A&M Records, like "On the Wings of Love" and "You Should Be Mine (The Woo ...
| | Switched-On Bach / Wendy Carlos CD (1968) Enhanced CD
Leftism CD music
$13.49
This late 1968 release seemed innocent enough at the time; and actually, it was a sincere effort to use a then newly-practical interpretive instrument, the Moog synthesizer, in a decidedly traditional musical manner. Indeed, at the time, it was simply extending -- in a somewhat more forward-thinking direction -- the kind of attention that had been devoted to Johann Sebastian Bach's music as early as 1782, barely over 30 years after the composer's death, when Mozart wrote a set of string trio arrangements of some of Bach's keyboard works. Heard 40 years on, the approach here seems very tame and formal, but in 1968 it offended some Baroque purists (of whom there were relatively few) and a lot of classical music Luddites (of whom there were a lot more); but it still became the first classical music LP ever to be certified for a Platinum Record Award, by selling to hundreds of thousands of mostly younger listeners who didn't normally buy classical recordings. Wendy Carlos had come up with an artistically valid and musically legitimate approach to the most tradition-bound of all classical music that made it not only palatable but exciting to a generation of listeners more inclined toward the Beatles than Beethoven (much less ...
| | Tangerine Dream Phaedra CD (1974)
Leftism music CDs
$8.85  
The title track is an almost spooky exercise in synth/sequencer tension and dynamics: while eerie atmospheres of Mellotron go head to head with spiraling Moogs, dense, humming sequencer webs percolate along the surface, motile and mobile. The album's closer, "Sequent C," leaves the listener breathless, as black electronic clouds form and dissipate and the surrounding space ...

The stage is set for one of the most anticipated Hip-Hop releases of the year.C. Flame, born Calvin Bridgeforth, is one of the most prominent rappers to emerge from the Inkster streets. Born and raised in Inkster, MI, C. Flame understands the struggle of the streets and has chose rap as the way to grind his way out. C. Flame is an extraordinary MC who made a name for himself, standing above a crowded city of rappers. C. Flame’s first experiences in the rap world came through performing in Talent shows. From there he went on to performing at local clubs and neighborhood events. His amazing talent and smooth flow landed him on the "Black Russian Presents: The Rush" album in 2003. Although this project did not live up to the hype, it taught Flame a lot about working in the music industry and the importance of being humble.When C. Flame decided to name his newest album Dollars Over Everything, BIG BANK RECORDS was the obvious avenue to get that point across. He was stating the truth: a bold proclamation that in street life, nothing comes above money…period. Although Flame is not known to most people outside of Michigan, his local record sales have made ...
