    The eleven tracks here are life-affirming and motivational, from the evocative mother and daughter scaling a mountainous landscape on the cover, to the big beats that pervade This Is What We Do. The problem with the album as a listening experience is that it lacks a change of pace.

Leftism is still in my top 10 all-time lists of the best electronic music ever. Maybe a slight less successful Rhythm and Stealth remains high as well. Alternative Light Source was IMHO the weakest album they made. It took me a while listening TIWWD to get some positive impressions (couple of listenings). First impression was not so positive. Music sounded generic, outdated, somehow stuck in the 90's. Though it isn't a bad thing after all. Mainly because Leftfield only released 4 albums in almost 30 years.

Electronic music is probably the fastest changing music genre: So if you wanna be succesful you must follow trends who rapidly change in couple of months maybe a year or two maximum. Standout tracks are: Full Way Round, Making a Difference, Accumulator, Power of Listening. Progressive house mixed with dub and reggae and some techno still lingers on!… Full Review »
