Leftfield originally comprised just Neil Barnes, formerly of Elephant Stampede, and, bizarrely, the London School of Samba. He released a solo track 'Not Forgotten', on Outer Rhythm, before Leftfield were expanded to a duo with the addition of former A Man Called Adam contributor Paul Daley. Barnes first met him through a poetry group who wanted live backing. However, as 'Not Forgotten', a deeply resonant song, broke big, disputes with Outer Rhythm followed. Unable to record due to contractual restraints, they embarked instead on a career as remixers to the stars.
