[force]

You didn't answer my question though.

Really none of your fcking business aNaL.
But i've been there from the start...

What ever you say mate.

[...Dave...]

i remember back in about 1991 when they released charly i wanted to kill them. i honestly believed it was them who played a big part in commercialising rave.

but you can't knock them.

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

Jilted had very little on it that crossed into rock.
1 track, maybe 2. The PWEI crossover and voodoo people maybe.

It was only with Fat of the land did they cross over more fully.

What?

Their Law was one huge mutha-f*cking tune. It did cross the boundaries, got the rockers interested and so they listened to the entire album and more often than not enjoyed it. I know various rockers that started listening to dance music solely because of the Prodigy and continue to do so today.

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.

[aNaLpLeAsEr]

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.

[tocsin]

chin strokery. thats all this thread is.

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. :P

*mental note* Must wank harder *mental note*

Take your nose out his arse for one single minute.

They were never considered underground, the underground laughed at them and there followers.

How old are you?

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.

Read again, Jilted Generation had very little that crossed over into rock.
You prove my point with your comment.
1 maybe 2 tracks.
Their law and possibly voodoo people at a push.

[DannyBlack]

I want to give you all a sponge bath.

Ah yeah, sorry.

But you agree that what did crossover brought a wider audience to dance music?

[The_Laughing_Man]

Ah yeah, sorry.

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.
More so the Fat of the Land stuff though.

[Jay Pace]

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.

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.

[The_Laughing_Man]

They played underground parties and clubs, therefore, they were underground.
It`s that simple.
Even Pete ****ing Tong was underground to begin with.

[aNaLpLeAsEr]

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.
