Yesss! I remember the first time i heard "everybody in the place", it
totaly blew my mind and so did most of the Experience album. Music For
The Jilted Generation was somewhat of a disapointment tho (and ill admit
that the massive airplay of it contributed to *some* of that
disapointment). The other day i had a quick listen trough the new album
(while searching for the track feat. Kool Keith...wich i didnt find) and
i just gotta say that this is NOTHING like what the prodigy used to be
like... sure, youre allowed to change, but theyve lost the very ESSENCE
of what, at least i felt, WAS The Prodigy!
I allso noticed a song wich might have been a cover of a old Palehead
song (Ian Mc Kaye, Al Jourgensen etc.)..uhm, i think its "man should
surrender"..released on Dischord in the late 80's. Havent really thought
of it before, but some of what prodigy is doing right now is similar to
what, for example, Palehead was doing back in the 80's (tho palehead
never used much synths/samplers)....
i dono where im going with this...i defenetly lost my thread..hehe..
to sum it up: prodigy used to be one of the greatest rave/techno you
there was (alongside SL2!), then they turned into fucking rock stars,
shaved their heads and got rich. Believe me, image is EVERYTHING for the
prodigy right now, i met them last year and keith was nothing like in
the videos OR like the rest of the prodigy describes him in interviews
:P
b.t.w, Q-burn, if youre reading this: i heard that (Ubiquity) interview
you did with talk.com..i laughed my ass off on the keith flint
comment... VERY on-point ;))
