they found a niece and it was one that was needed.
i think it was more the sesame st shite and Trumpton bollox that jumped on the wagon and did that. tbh
yeah it was mate. but at the time i remember wanting to kill them:lol:Quote:

Now i see big bands like Infected Mushroom and Pendulum doing exactly the same thing they (the Prodigy) were doing a decade ago, just a bit differently, if not even further back than that.
It's ironic really cos i think the new Prodigy album sound a bit like Pendulum anyway, i'm confused as to who's influencing who anymore.
I agree. The second and 3rd albums did turn many a rocker and guitarist into wannbe DJ's
But those that reckon the first album was pioneering, that is just too funny.
Yep. Did we hit on whether or not the sound is too squashed yet? Use of finalizers? Not making the right shapes in an oscilloscope? Software vs. hardware? Come on, Blackoutaudio. You're slacking on your typical wankery regarding this shit. :PQuote:

The original releases were by todays standards "cheese". But Cheesy dance music didn`t really exist then. The cheeky sillyness of charlie says etc was underground, and fun for the E culture back then.
I doubt you could go to a proper rave back then and not hear a prodigy tune at least once in the early 90`s.
Liam garnered a lot of respect in that sense, he was real, he didn`t turn up making pop, he was there with his kit burning out bassbins in warehouses and fields and clubs getting mental with the rest of us.
He just made a sound that had that edge that gave it mass appeal.
Read again, Jilted Generation had very little that crossed over into rock.Quote:

Ah yeah, sorry.Quote:

Oh hell yeah, I was also heavily into industrial back than, and many a prodigy track would creep into the sets of industrial DJ`s.Quote:

I read an interview with them, where they talked about charly.
They said they made it as a pisstake, because people were dancing to cheesy stupid stuff so they thought they'd make an impossibly stupid cheesey song.
Which then became massive. Which I suppose is a bit of a problem, when your cheesey novelty records are what you become famous and loved for....
The bassline is PHAT though.Quote:

It`s that simple.
Even Pete ****ing Tong was underground to begin with.
Blah fcking blah
played be the operative word here. fcking players, always got to **** up a good thing.
Let me guess you actually paid money to listen to them? No wonder your so defensive.
Actually I never paid money to see any particular act. I just paid to go to parties, I had no idea who was what until years later.
Of course I`m defensive, essex boys stick together:biggrin:
congratulations.
Your parents must be very proud
LOL @ all the bullshit over this album. Again, like previous Prodigy albums, it's catchy and it rocks. It's been their main appeal for as long as I can remember. If you can't catch that, pretending you got them at any particular point of time seems a bit absurd.
I Haven't heard the album they lost me when I felt the need to return the piece of shit that they released before this one.
I don't even think I would waste any bandwidth on them.
Very.Quote:

didn't think much of the new album to begin with but damn it's growin on me. There's 4 or 5 tracks that are gonna work in so well with their live act.
To all the prodigy haters out there i'm not quite sure what your all expecting from this new album. People's expectations for a Prodigy album are just way too high IMO. They're a great dance act and with this album will continue to do so for years to come.
Just back from seeing them live, they sure know how to put on a concert, brilliant from start to finish.
They also played Jericho which i wasn't expecting, one of my old favourites.
