Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Rhythm and Stealth is the second album by Leftfield released on 20 September 1999. It was the follow-up to 1995's Leftism. The album reached No. 1 in the UK album chart. It was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2000 but lost out to Badly Drawn Boy's The Hour of Bewilderbeast.
Rhythm and Stealth had a notably harsher underlying beat than its predecessor with songs such as "Phat Planet" and "Afrika Shox" being much darker than those on the previous album. The album is best known amongst the public for the song "Phat Planet", which was featured in Guinness' 1999 advert Surfer and the animated series Beast Machines, although the song was never released as a single. The best selling single from the album was "Afrika Shox" featuring Afrika Bambaataa which peaked at No. 7 in the UK singles chart.
