cheesy? I can't explain...

I have a mint copy of the What Evil Lurks EP so I'm hoping
their careers last a good long while...worth a good £100 so
a good investment for my £2.50...

Bought it off Liam Girlfriend, believe it or not....I'm a
Braintree boy, you know...

But, yeah...they aren;t exactly what I'd call cutting edge
or even vaguely progressive...

Sad as I repect what they did in the early days but anything
post-Firestarter and including FS, leaves me cold...

It would be interesting to see the stuff that they'd put out
now, although i don't think they would be much different

Hey Pinkhead! :-)

Looks like everyone liked Firestarter...

I've never really considered them electronic, I dunno... I
lumped them in with alt rock, for some reason.

... I dunno I think that I will check out their new album, I
enjoy they old stuff a lot, the Fat Of The Land was OK...
had some really good stuff on it, but lacked. Prodigy
Experience and the Other one I have but cant remember...
were great.

I thought his name was Liam Howlett? I like lots of their
stuff, but You're right it does sound a bit cheesy now, less
hard and rough than it first did.

agree Jarworski..Jilted isn't bad...the next one blew...the
vid for "Smack my bitch up" was..hmm interesting?

o yeah. they were among the artists i was fond when i was
introduced to the electronic music industry. they (Liam
Howlett a probable exception) pretty much sold out when they
reached mainstream status, shortly after i got into them.
durn.

Prodigy huh? They were pretty cool... was never totally into
them, but yeah, Firestarter was cool, and Breath was a good
song as well...

Oh yeah, and I have the single for the song Poison... I like
that one... "I got the poison, I got the remedy..." very
cool...

He's the talent....the rest are just dancers...

...he does all the tunes///

Is he the black one or the really... colorful one... with
the unique hair...

supposedly Liam is exclusively responsible for producing all
the music itself.
probably some of the most prominent Prodigy songs were:
Poison from Music for the Jilted Generation,
Firestarter from Firestarter & Fat of the Land,
& Breathe from Breathe & Fat of the Land

Even though Molotov Bitch off of Firestarter wasn't a big
hit, I used to dig it.

MOlotov Bitch is one of my favourite songs by them....yah
who IS the liam guy? the one with the cool hair?

the other white dude is Liam..sounds like a lot of conflicts
started once the "dancers" decided they wanted to write
songs and stuff...Liam's not bad and churning out snappy
hooky assembly line electronica..just gets a bit tedious
because the songs have no depth..the only song I can still
enjoy is perhaps "Voodoo People"

the new songs are sounding good

Music For The Jilted Generation has to be their best to
date. Dunno, I think that considering it was released in
1994, they sounded ahead of their time at that point.
Im quite partial to listen to Voodoo People, Break And
Enter, No Good and Claustrophobic Sting once in a while...

I bought my first ever E from Keith...

Nice chap... Leeroy is cool as well...

But I have photos of Liam Howlett with a Wet Look
Perm....blackmail material :)...

Liam is the plain looking white one, Keith is the one with
the mad hair (Main guy in the "Firestarter" video). Leeroy
(now left? He's doing solo stuff) is the really tall half
cast guy. Maxim is the black guy who has left.
