The Prodigy

[bloodline]

I saw the Prodigy live at the IoW festival last weekend, they were really good. Fat of the Land is a great album, notice however, that Firestarter sits very uncomfortably with the other tracks it was clearly written for another project.

My boss was there and said they were amazing. He was fked the whole weekend :lol:

I spent the three days sat in the main field eating nothing but hog roast and drinking (free) cider... And getting sun burnt... brilliant!! :-D

Y'know, that didn't really occur to me. But then, there's an element of discomfort around the whole album IMO. Not that that's a bad thing; music is supposed to evoke emotion, whether comfortable or uncomfortable.

Ahhh, yes, I didn't mean it as a negative thing... I just find stuff like that VERY interesting... it suggests there might be some unreleased material that is closer in style to Firestarter, just sitting on tapes... waiting for a release  ;-)

Nah... The SMBU video is jsut someone out on the razz for a night... with the amusing Hichcockian twist at the end. Makes a good story, nothing more :-)

I used to listen to the Prodigy a lot. I still do, but I think that their latest stuff is not as exciting as the classics.

Saw them live twice, in Belgrade/Serbia in 1995 and then once again in 1998 I believe, in Toronto/Canada.

I was hooked for the first two albums. Experience and Jilted were simply magical...works of art.

Fat of the Land and AONO...OK I guess, but nothing really groundbreaking as the first two were.

Funny... I think FOTL has some of The Prodigy's most groundbreaking tracks... :-? :-D
