    Commercialization is all they pushed back then. Liam was a good front man that was all. Dum ****s love that kinda shit.

    Thats total bullshit mate.
    Loads of stuff has been considered 'underground' until it becomes popular.
    Once it becomes popular, then it enters the realms of commercial pop.
    I'd say Liam was a pioneer back then and influenced a lot of the big, early hardcore tunes of the day. He also never restricted himself to one or 2 styles either.
    Chemical brothers, prodigy, underworld, etc were all considered 'underground'.

    And one more thing.
    Liam was never a front man, he always stood at the back and let the others hog the limelight so ive no idea where you got that from..

    That`s not striclty true mate, I went to many a Rave (in the true sense of the word)\in my misguided youth, and the prodigy appeared at a few, they played 4 aces in Dalston Hackney for christs sake, it doesn`t get much more underground than that, they were seriously respected.

    A) Cos they rocked the joint. Like, they REALLY rocked the joint.
    B) Cos they made it, they blew up and took "our thing" the illegal rave sound into the accepted media spotlight.

    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.

    Oh the days of Labrynth in Hackey. I just didn't have the same experience as you. They pretty much borrowed an already existing sound with that first album and added a layer of cheesy pop to it. That kinda shit still goes onto day. **** look what happened with some trance.

    The following 2 albums were much better. And I have a lot of respect for the the fat of the land. But please charly ****ing says was lapped up by 14 year old school kids. Well ****ing underground.
