Who cares :-) Being a stickler for categorisation doesn't make the
music sound any different - and either you like it or you don't.
I bought the new Leftfield the moment it arrived in the shops -
having had such a long wait and build-up since the original (sic)
album, which was very eclectic and pretty ground breaking in its
day.
I must admit that I was disappointed on first play through and put it
aside (on one of those famous piles on the desk) only to pull it out
again for a spot of speaker testing down in the lounge when (more
mainstream oriented) friends came over. Surprisingly, what
boomed forth from the bass bins filled me with glee and I really do
enjoy the album now. It's not a headphone special. It's designed
to be played LOUD and it works very well at that level.
And no, it's not in any way similar to Ae. Banish the thought!
