I'm the law and you can't beat the law... f*ck em and their law

[UnderOpenSky]

I loved Fat of the Land when it came out, but I think its the earlier stuff that's stood the test of time.

 

[Blagsta]

Music for the Jilted... was ace.

I never really got into them - ive never got round to listening to any of the key albums as the singles put me off. I liked was fresh too). To me it was an original sounding record (though maybe some electrotrash hipsters know better). I know its blasphemy to some, but prodigy go in the same box as underworld and faithless of big dance acts that made it in the charts that dont appeal at all. might be a snobbish reaction to them being succesful, i cant tell. I dont think so though.

What was the last album like?

 

[Blagsta]

Underworld's first album "Dubnobasswithmyheadman" was excellent.

Love the oldskool dancing in the video <put a big smile on my face that has

Shit IMO.

The above is kinda the point i think...it's when they got massive and 'successful' they turned to shit.

Looks as though we have entered the must have the last word territory, with added sarcasm from Blagsta. This, so the poster appears clever and receives smilies in support from those who seem to agree with the daft notion that music only deserves praise if it stays the same forever and therefore is listened to and accessible only to the dwindling band of purists of whatever music genre you care to choose. They are the ones who know what, as they see it, <insert specific music genre here> is all about. They remind me of people of a similar mindset, who shouted "Judas" at Bob Dylan, because he happened to think it might be a good idea to bring folk music up to date and make it interesting to a wider audience, by playing, horrors of horrors, an electric guitar.

lol

erm, yeah, but Jilted Generation was their second album, recorded before they became all big and famous, so it still had that raw edge to it.

I still rate a lot of their later stuff, but IMO Jilted's a cut above all of it due to it's rawness.

 

[DotCommunist]

If you have seen a room/crowd munted who then explode when smack my bitch up comes on you will never doubt Prodigy. Seriously it is like a lazarene thing, the practically dead will rise to do munted dancing to it.

lol

Somehow I can't imagine, believe me I've tried, you ever wearing an aran jumper and cupping your hand over one ear, whilst humming?

 

[sam/phallocrat]

Howlett is one of the finest dance music producers the UK has ever produced, and Fat of the Land has some uncomparable basslines (notwithstanding his earlier work). Prodigy ftw.

yep, it kinda sounds like the prodigy meets pendulum, but I reckon it's their best album for a while. Had it in the car constantly last year when I was doing early morning driving for work, and it was great for waking me up and blasting over the penines to.

more fun than ground breaking mind

 

[RaverDrew]

Break and Enter is one of my favourite tunes of all time

Calm down mate. I don't like later prodigy, you do. Big deal.

 

[audiotech]

Calm down? I would if I was if I wasn't already. I haven't purchased a prodigy CD since Fat of the Land, which I think was musically their high point and they haven't produced anything that comes anywhere near it since.

 

[Blagsta]

So? I disagree. Is that OK with you?
