Review by Kay Steeger

Album Review: More Than I Know Not Forgotten by Leftfield Leftfield’s More Than I Know Not Forgotten is one of those gems that sneaks up on you. Released in 1991 under the Indisc label, this Belgian-born project blends House and Deep House into a vibe that feels both nostalgic and ahead of its time. With Neil Barnes at the helm as producer and Mat Clark handling engineering duties, the album delivers two standout tracks—“More Than I Know” and “Not Forgotten (Hard Hands Mix)”—that stick with you long after the needle lifts. Let’s talk about “More Than I Know” first. It kicks things off with a hypnotic groove that just locks you in. The bassline has this warm, pulsing energy, like it’s hugging your brain while keeping your feet moving. There’s no need for flashy tricks here; the track builds slowly, layering subtle textures until you’re fully immersed. You don’t realize how deep you’re into it until the beat drops out halfway through, leaving you hanging before slamming back in. It’s clever stuff—simple but devastatingly effective. Then there’s “Not Forgotten (Hard Hands Mix),” which flips the mood entirely. Where “More Than I Know” feels smooth and introspective, this remix brings grit and edge. The percussion hits harder, almost industrial, yet still groovy enough to keep the dancefloor alive. That rawness gives it character—it doesn’t try too hard to impress, but it does anyway. For me, this track stands out because it reminds me of late-night drives when everything outside feels distant and surreal. Tracks like these have a way of embedding themselves in specific moments of your life. What makes More Than I Know Not Forgotten special isn’t just the music itself—it’s the atmosphere it creates. Leftfield wasn’t trying to reinvent the wheel here, but they didn’t need to. Sometimes all it takes is a couple of killer tunes to leave an imprint. And honestly? This EP feels like a snapshot of where electronic music was heading in the early ‘90s—a little rough around the edges, full of potential, and brimming with soul. Here’s the thing: listening to this now feels kinda bittersweet. Back then, albums like this were often overlooked unless you were knee-deep in the scene. But today, it’s clear how influential records like More Than I Know Not Forgotten really were. Funny enough, though, I can’t help but wonder what Neil Barnes would think if he knew people are still geeking out over his work decades later. Bet he’d chuckle and say something modest, like, “Ah, it was just another day in the studio.” In any case, give this one a spin if you haven’t already. It’s not perfect, but maybe that’s why it works so well.
