"Afro-Left" is a song by the English electronic duo Leftfield, released as their seventh single.
The B-side "Afro Ride", a remix of "Afro-Left", was used in the 1995 game wipE'out".
It's so original, so brilliantly conceived and mellifluously executed that it's almost shocking when you first hear it.
"[5] Roger Morton from NME stated that the track "adds Brazilian percussion and African scatting to a Moroder-esque throb and still hits home on the dancefloor.
"[6] Another NME editor, David Quantick, commented, "Alas, 'Afro Left' substitutes — no doubt intentionally — thrilling thumping electronics for a kind of idle stop about, neatly accompanying the sampled vocal of a bloke talking to himself in an African language.
