Liam Howlett is good.

Just saw No Good on MTV and forgot just how good the track
was. I reckon he is a little underestimated...possibly
because he made popular the toytown techno era which some
people reckon ruined the rave scene...then The Fat of the
Land which was rather shit...but in between he made some
cracking stuff.

i introduced to prodigy at the time of fat of the land and i
thought it's crap

then i listened to earlier prodigy and liked it a lot

now i don't think fat of the land sucks but i still think
that earlier albums are better

You guessed it,
person 1: a, b
person 2: sort of b (not welsh, but has lived most of his
life there)

Those tracks are defo from Jilted Generation. It's actually
onb my desk and I checked the track listing to confirm that
voodoo people was on it. I was listening to Poison in the
car today. A good soundtrack to driving around the outskirts
of a powerstation.

I was basing my opinion on the fact the only two people I

The Prodigy are bloody good. Liam just has a serious knack
for groove and funky ass beats. I mean seriously who can
touch Liam for making phat and funky beats that just kick
like a Donkey gone wild or something like that?

Lets face it a whole generation were brought up definitely
on 'MFTGG' and a number on 'Experience'. I know I certainly
was and I must admit I resisted The Prodigy even when
everyone else was into them just because they were
commercial and I was digging Aphex and Seefeel at the time.
But I couldn't resist 4ever, especially when I heard
'MFTGG'. I remember seeing The Prod at Phoenix, good times!

Prodigy were great. Sadly seems to not be true now. I'm
hoping this new album is good but the continual delays tell
me otherwise.

i like the 92-96 era the best-. i read the interview
regarding his (their) next album, and it should be good.

When Prodigy released Charly which was based on a UK public
information film about stranger danger it gained rave
popular appeal, but sadly it led to a slew of stupid
cartoon/childrens tv sample based tracks and general
commercialisation which was bad enough. However some people
also think it allowed the media to start going on about the
evils of the music which made the government do a knee jerk
reaction by introducing anti party legislation in the
Criminal Justice Act 1994.

At least that is some peoples views...I'm not 100% sure
myself :D

Experience is def their best. Music for... was good, and Fat
ofr the land was ok. Their last single was their worst track
ever, and their new album will be like stabbing yourself to
death with a spoon.

I dunno...I think he realised the new album was going to be
shit so he is redoing it...i have a feeling we will be
pleasently surprised with a new MFTJG sort of sound.

On the mc there was a Site called Narcotic.
Have you heard tracks from there.
1. 3Kilos
2.Claustrophobic strings (2 tracks in one)

Meauw...
Charly says: "Always tell your mummy before you go off
somewhere."

Charly (Trip Into Bass and Drum Version)

Meauw...
Charly says... bass
Charly says... raas
Bass, bass, little bit of bass, little bit of bass, little
bit of raas
Little bit of bass, little bit of raas (3x)


couldnt find a real article on it, but it's clear now (was
unfamiliar with the term stranger danger too)
furthermore im more familiar with the term happy hardcore,
which refers to gabba.
charly was a good track, buying experience now though (the
version on that is not tha bomb anyway) is useless for me

Nothing is better than if Prodigy could show some old magic,
but for some reason I think they are way past their prime.

Wow, people rate Fat Of The Land, when compared to Jilted
Generation and Experience... that's almost as retarded as
preferring the mini-series of The Shining to the 1980
Kubrick version.

I think he is underrated...he gained popular appeal with
good music. Pop media got pissed off because he was so
reclusive and the "cooler" electronic people got pissed off
with his chart and commercial success...he was trapped
between a rock and a hard place.

Good point. I suppose the Chemicals are ok never really dug
them though. The Prodigy are just more techno than the
Chemicals. I don't know just more funky.

The Chemicals for me have a totally different sound and
style to Liam...I have never criticised the Chemicals for
what they do, however I am not a big fan of the majority of
their work.

I think I half-enjoyed the first Chemical Brothers album,
but overall I find their work uninspired and uneventful.
