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...

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
