The Prodigy
 

Fernz on 2001-12-11 11:48 [#00059763]



What the hell happened to them? Im sitting here listening to
Music For The Jilted Generation and I just thought, shit,
wonder if theres any new shit coming out...? :)


 

Keith Flint from Braintree UK on 2001-12-11 11:51 [#00059764]



No. We´re chilling. Drinking beer, doing chicks.


 

jand from Chelmsford,Essex,Uk on 2001-12-11 12:30 [#00059774]



I hope someone's not taking the piss out of Braintree...my
home town...



 

doki from grmny on 2001-12-11 13:09 [#00059787]



there was a post some time ago where someone mentions they
split or something and that it´s not sure if the new album
will ever come out ... don´t take me by word, try to track
it down ...


 

od from perth on 2001-12-11 13:51 [#00059796]



yair i read that thread too.
thats what they said, liam was shitted at keith (and maxim?)
coz they wanted to include their own "shit" (according to
liam) vocal stuff on the rekkid.

i dont believe it though, coz ive heard that much bullshit
about the prodigy breaking up and keith dying of various
drug overdoses before...


 

doki from grmny on 2001-12-11 14:26 [#00059804]



yeah i also think it´s a lot of bullshit going on, cause
maxim made his own record so i don´t see the point why he
should bother liam to get his stuff on a prod record, and i
also heard that keith did some live gigs (very secretly i
was told) with his own material and thinks about a solo
record, too ... so ... fuck media i say!!


 

Dirtypriest from Denmark on 2001-12-11 17:52 [#00059919]



Who cares really. the liam howlett remix cd was shit anyway.
they have been a bit good. but now i dont care about them.
get into bogdan raczynski, and alec empire. i´m not
comparing them, but they´r helluwa lot more interesting.

i have a friend who was spattered in the face by keith flynt
by the way... i shit you not.


 

Scary Bear on 2001-12-11 19:33 [#00059977]



No man I am still well into the Dirtchamber sessions volume
2 album. It was not all their own material but they made no
bones about that, it hadn't happened before, not in the way
they did it.

And I have heard the prodigy is going to have a new album,
they are working on it. I will return with more info for
those ineterested. Having read previous posts I noticed a
lot of people are self opinionated on what is and isn't good
music. Please credit fellow members of the MB with enough
intelligence to realise that not everyone likes the same
music, then keep your thoughts to your self. Thankyou.

New Prodigy album is on its way. The album is at the moment
titled 'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned' (the name comes
from a famous novel "Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned"
by Walter Mosley).

Release date?

AONO is likely to come out in 2002. A spokewoman of Prodigy
said: "We are expecting to release some new music from them
before the end of the year." So far no singles has been
released from this album.
ProCON has reported that according to Prodge's manager, Mike
Champion, Prodigy is going to release 'No Souvenirs' as a
single in July or September but - once again - nothing was
released.

Songs?

Maxim has said in various interviews that at least three
tracks has been written for the AONO. Liam said in a recent
interview that the album is going to be more electronic than
he had expected. He also said that Keith is playing guitar
on one the tracks.

Liam wrote music for a pornographic movie The Uranus
Experiment Part II, released in June 1999. He wrote a song
called 'Titan' and it also appeared on The Uranus Experiment
Part III.

After he he and 3D from Massive Attack had done a song each
for the porn movie, they collaborated. Liam and 3D wrote a
song called 'No Souvenirs' (read more below).

In recent Prodigy shows there have been a few new tracks or
jams. 'What we Want' was first time performed in 1999 and it
can be described as "a typical Prodigy song" with its hard
head-banging beats and Maxim's lyrics. 'Trigger', first time
performed in 2001, is similar to 'What We Want' containing
lyrics by Keith and Maxim. 'Nuclear' is kind-of-a punk tune
which had Maxim's vocals.

Collaborations?

Liam has done a collaboration with 3D from Massive Attack.
They have done a song called 'No Souvenirs'. 3D has said
following about the song: "Liam and I had been talking about
doing something together for about a year and then we did a
track each for a porn film called ‘The Uranus
Experiment’. Liam knew Alex Garland who wrote ‘The
Beach’ and Liam suggested that he did the music and I
wrote some lyrics for a song to go on the film’s
soundtrack. The track is called ‘No Souvenirs’ and is
slightly Pink Floyd; slightly Beach Boys in places; full-on
dark but very musical with some great arrangements. But in
the end, we felt it wasn’t appropriate for the soundtrack
album. The rest of the album was too dance and
pop-orientated so we pulled it. It might end up as a track
on the next Prodigy album."

Liam has also collaborated with Dan 'The Automator'
Nakamura, a legendary hip hop producer. Nakamura has said:
"I was helping work out a mix for their record. Maybe it's
the single, I don't know." This collaboration has been
corfirmed by a spokeperson of the Prodigy.

Liam meant to do a song together with Perry Farrell (of
Jane's Addiction) already for 'The Fat Of The Land' but due
to schedule problems that collab didn't work out. However,
Liam has done a track for AONO with Perry.

Hope that answers any questions


 

Flaphead aka Laffe Hoer from laagland on 2001-12-11 20:05 [#00059991]



I've seen the Prodigy at lowlands this year (August). They
were there to promote there new album, so there is one on
it's way.
They played about three new songs. To me this is a sign that
the Prodigy is still alive.


 

Pb on 2001-12-11 22:44 [#00060032]



their new album is in production and they did a couple shows
this year. One member of the band left cuz he wanted to do a
solo project.


 

JOB from St.John\\\\\'s Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-12-12 03:13 [#00060101]



Liam is the only one in that band with any talent. They used
to be called THE prodigy because it was all done by one guy.
The rest were wussie dancers. They still suck and sholdnt
even be in any of LIAMS songs. He should go solo and drop
them like a shit hauls an anchor up to sail off.


 

pyroglif from uK on 2001-12-12 03:24 [#00060107]



JOB have u seen what those dancers do for the live act?


 

jand from Braintree on 2001-12-12 11:59 [#00060237]



I used to score hash from Keith from the Prodge...no lie...

In fact, I believe I bought my first E from him...

Went to school with Leeroy as well: a real headfuck to see
em all on MTV now...

First prodigy gig I saw was at our local Chruch Hall...them
were the days :)..



 

od from perth on 2001-12-12 14:15 [#00060262]



thankQs for that info :)

as for the dancers, wasnt leeroy sposed to be recognized as
one of the best breakdancers in the world?


 

Scary Bear on 2001-12-12 16:52 [#00060290]



JOB: God forbid somebody should actually get dancers in
their band and do something different.

Anyone heard nasty yet? It sounds like they're just trying to make it
sound aggressive for the sake of it. I know that's their
"thing" but it sounds so forced yo

That "Nasty" sounds like a joke, a pisstake of The Prodigy.
Take the beat from one of their old tracks and go "ooh
naughty, naughty, I'M REALLY AWFUL" over the top. Didn't
they already have a false-restart more than a decade ago
with "Baby's Got A Temper" which this sounds like some fond,
misty-eyed homage to?

Horrid.

whiteymode greenwise by track 2 on portishead's s/t so it

Maxinquaye (1995) is good to chill to. Melodic,
simple yet intricate beats, smokey, and a heavenly Martina
Topley Bird on vocals, with Tricky's Gainsbourg-esque
talking. It whines a lot less than Portishead. It's druggy.

Nearly God (1996) is uniquely raw (with Bjork here
and there), and Pre Millennium Tension (1996) is a
masterpiece in Russworld.

I remember Jivver telling me he could never understand what
Tricky was doing back then.

He's far more into writing 'songs' now, I reckon it's since
a doctor found out he was lactose intolerant (amongst
things, you can hear it in his voice) in 1997 that he's lost
that little something that made his music so special to me.
He's just a lot happier today it seems! I'd rather him be
happy, but enjoy his music less, than have him physically,
and mentally perturbed just to make me happy.

Take lactose out of a lactose intolerant artist (as a rather
silly example), and the music changes! I still rate him
highly, just haven't really loved a new album for 15 years.
The music has lost that edge, that irreverence, and anger,
that little bit of suffering that made his music so unique
in the mid-nineties.
