Smallman1 That omission is of course, Leftfield.
The lad’s had a shocker
Chemical Brothers - Desert Island track
Leftfield are fine. The Orb are legendary. Not surprised to see this place doesn’t rate them.
Does Roni Size/Reprazent not qualify? They were a can’t miss for me whenever they came around this way.
No Faithless? Pffff
jonattonyeah Personally I don’t count them, no. If I did, I would have them above all on that list, save possibly Underworld, but ever that is TBD. Am a massive massive fan. I’d guess New Forms has a track on my radio show on a monthly basis.
Damo rating Basement Jaxx higher than anticipated
Fair enough. They did fit better under the umbrella of “soul/hip hop” rather than the broad “electronic dance music act.”
Looks like Zackster has ‘Reg of the Year’ sewn up.
Some effort considering we’re only in June.
Where does Fluke fit into all this? Never saw them live but they knocked out some decent enough tunes in their day.
Waiting for “wheres Spooky and Wow?!”
- Edited
The Chems and Underworld are still going strong and releasing decent music while the others are either mothballed or reliving past glories from 30 years ago to ever diminishing returns. Their back catalogues and live performances are on another level to the others on that list (with the exception of Prodigy up to FOTL)
The best thing The Prodigy have put out in 20 years is that Christophe D’Abuc Climbatize bootleg thingy. Utter shambles post FOTL.
I thought the Chems called it quits and only one of them was now flying the flag.
jonattonyeah but their first three albums were solid gold
“In October 1992, they pressed 500 white label copies [of Song of the Siren] and took them to various dance record shops around London, but none would play it, saying that it was too slow (the track played at 111 BPM). They sent a copy to London DJ Andrew Weatherall, who made it a permanent fixture in his DJ sets.”
