Rules!! i found that out while listening to some of their old hits such as Firestarter and Breathe. What do you think of that so-called "eurotrash" :D ?

eurotrash?!?!
i really liked what prodigy did, i always thought it was good because it was different a really refreshing approach prodigy rule!

The Prodigy rocks, i play that as loud as possible and my neighbours aren't too happy with it ! :D

yeah, Prodigy is really original. and i loove it when musicians come up with original stuff :D .
and i said "so-called "eurotrash" because once in celebrity deathmatch, Prodigy`s Keith Flint fought with Celine Dion and then one of the hosts called him eurotrash, which i didnt really like.

lol if it was on celeb deathmatch then its okay

The Prodigy, Voodoo People, Max Du Voyes, DJ Tiesto, VNV Nation, John Doe ect...

they are all my favortie groups. MP3.com has loads of "similar artists" but none of them (well except for the Shizit) even come close to being like them! they rock IMHO and If you havent heard them you should!

Tiesto isn't a group Death, it's one guy from Breda (holland) and he recently got elected as best dj of the year 2002. So, you got cd's from him ? You can sure rave on that stuff ! :D Btw, ever heard of Deejay Jean ? :D

They even released a new single a few months back, called Baby's got a temper... Unfortunately it's horribly disappointing. If you think The Prodigy made *any* progress since The Fat of the Land was released in '97, you're wrong. This new song could have been one of the worst songs on The Fat of the Land back then and they *might* have gotten away with it... Now it's just a painful parody on themselves, on their past successes... They have even used a sample from Firestarter, of all their hits maybe the one that got played to death the most! I'm sure that some people will probably don't care about all that, but to me, The Prodigy was best during Experience (from '92 I think), which is one of the few rave/breakbeat albums which are still listenable anno 2002... And that had always been their best feature, being progressive and catchy enough at the same time to please both the musical simpletons (let's call them the Top 40 followers, waddaya mean I'm a snub [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) and the more serious music followers. The Fat of the Land wasn't that brilliant as their previous albums, but it was okay in its time... But to fall back on it 5 years later is horribly disappointing and The Prodidy unworthy. I wish they never released it in the first place.
Now let's just hope the upcoming album won't be as disastrous as Baby's got a temper, though...

Ah, now I like Firestarter and Breathe! Great tracks. Can't say I know much of their other stuff though.

check out "music for the Jilted generation" from prodigy. IMHO it blows "fat of the land" out of the water.

Ah! Well, personal favourites of mine are Out of Space from Experience ('92), Voodoo People from Music for the jilted generation ('94) and Breathe from The Fat of the Land ('97). All worth checking out in my opinion, so if you ever come across those earlier albums or those earlier songs: Out of Space is an old reggae-record in a rave/breakbeat mix. And no, it doesn't sound like most "covers", this one is even 10 years after its release still relevant and refreshing to listen to in my opinion. That, and the fact it was in that time I started to listen to music with more attention, so it's also partly nostalgia... ;)
Voodoo People is mostly based on a few catchy and brilliant samples, also with the oh so Prodigy-like hyper-breakbeat... That one somehow never ceases to entertain me, even though most songs based on gimmicks and hooks normally don't outlive two months... ;)
As for Breathe, it has that dark atmosphere over both the song and the videoclip. Can't add that much to that. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Agreed. Even though Experience blows Music for the jilted generation out of the water on occasions as well, depending on my mood. I always thought No Good (Start the Dance) was a bit on the overrated side, to name a song. It's not bad, but not as good as some of their other classics... And yet it's the most often named song when you ask people what their favourite Prodigy song is. ;)

My personal fave prodigy song is still charlie.....and prob always will be...it briings back lots of great memories oh and outer space...magic "i'll take your brain to another dimension"....ah just really caught the mood of the time...i saw the prodigy live in a night club in paisley which is just outside glasgow many moons ago....the good old days now wheres my pipe and slippers?

Music For the Jilted Generation is the album that proved to me that dance muxic could actually be listened to [img]smile.gif[/img]
My fave tracks are Their Law, Break and enter and the Narcotic suite (the last 3 songs of the album).

I've seen them live twice and that was just about the greatest concerts I've been to ever, ven if I was pretty drunk te first time. [img]smile.gif[/img]

That`s one grreeat song [img]smile.gif[/img] ! Not to forget the cool video [img]smile.gif[/img] !

Hey, that wasn`t too bad! it was just a 2-second sample which was used only once in one song! personally, i like the song Baby`s Got A Temper but then again, i don`t know any other recent Prodigy hits.

The Prodigy aren't a band per se. The Prodigy is one man, Liam Howlett, who was DJing at an essex club. Liam played the keyboards, while Keith, Leeroy and Sharky danced. Only after they added Maxim, who MC'd did Keith and Leeroy start adding vocals to The Prodigy's songs.
