Leftfield & John Lydon - 'Open Up'... appreciation thread!

I just recently re-discovered this tune and I forgot what an anthem it was. brilliant vocals by sex pistols frontman John Lydon and an immensly catchy beat to go along with them. one of the finest Leftfield songs out there.

there are two versions as far as I know; the album version which is a longer, slower and a more progger cut and the (imo) superior single version which is a shorter and more in-your-face tune. both versions are great though

the video rocks aswell!

Awesome. Definitely a different side of Johnny Rotten.

the dervish overdrive version is the best one, open up is great but i grew a bit sick of it.

i don't really like the original that much, but the zoo djs breaks mix is fucking insane IMO.
too bad it's only a bootleg.

Tragedy or comedy? Probably publicity...

This was the first Leftfield track I heard properly. Scorching track. However, they've made some better ones.
