New prodigy interview

i think this is the main type of person that listens to Prodigy nowadays - metallers with big baggy black jeans and Korn hoodies.

double post

100% correct. None of the ravers I know would ever listen to them these days. However, all the people I know who like Foo Fighters and Reading Festival massively bum them

I don't think so.

The Prodigy is wack.

anyone who like the prodigy is a bunch of cunt

i bet you also think you're too sweet to eat ice cream you bunch of cunt

The prodigy are a sub genre of oasis nowadays

i remember saving up £5 to buy the experience singles when i was a kid.

i used to rave out to them when i was like 8 or 9. after eating a 50p mix and a 99er.

prodigy made me want to write music

they weren't the only ones but they were an early and dominating presence in my musical life

The first two prodigy albums are great the rest is balls.

3rd album is good too

anyone hear kula shaker's 2007 version of narayan???

weird but nice feeling to hear it like that

edit:

The fat of the land has too many vocals for my taste and for the most part treads water. But I am interested to fin out how that video is so i am going to watch it.

i feel you, fat of the land has a much glossier, fine-grained feel than the extreme chunk/thunk/move of the first two albums. it's a different beast, but it still has sauce. it's more atmospheric... if the first two albums were drunkenly moshing on the dance floor, getting a bit cut up in the pit, Fat Of The Land is standing on a platform overlooking the floor, questioning/pondering/mulling over your last two albums of drunken moshing, why you do it, why others do...

i guess it trades some of the hedonism for the bittersweet of the longview

why anyone would care about the prodigy these days is beyond me.

the video for smack my bitch up was good tho.

Hmmmm, I don't think the fat of the land is atmospheric at all really. Music for the jilted generation has atmosphere in spades. Skyliner, 3 kilos hugely atmospheric. Even the experience has atmophere to it, listen to the weather experience. To me the fat of the land feels contrived.

As of regards to the hedonism of the early stuff. It's definately part of the appeal for me. Fat of the land feels contrived in a lot of ways, it's sounds like over produced and mostly lacks the rawness that made those first two albums so special. I will concede that there are a couple of tracks that I like (Funky shit, Smack my bitch up and Climbatize)

I have rambled for too long already. So don't even start me on the other records.

let's not latch onto the word "atmosphere" please. it's one out of many i used.

if you want a word to latch onto, i'd say Fat Of The Land is more "aloof" or "pensive"

It's the word that stuck in my mind as to why I like those two albums. It also has a lot to do with my opinion on the album and they album after. They lack any real mood, feel or as I said before atmosphere.

Fat Of The Land is far more Meta than Experience or Music 4 The Jilted.

To be honest I don't know what you are getting at with that statement.
