The Prodigy are back..

I've been blasting my ears listening to this band for over 5 years. These guys are the kings of hard electronica and very alternative dance music.
There's been a while when they decided to take a break for over 2 years and there's been rumours going on about them splitting up.
That's fuckin bullshit, they r back and hopefully will be releasing new album next year.
Here are some of their new tour dates(yes,yes they r official):

17/8/01: Festival Rock Oz'Arenes 10ans, Avenches, Switzerland
18/8/01: Bizarre Festival, Weeze, Germany
24/8/01: Lowlands Festival, Holland
25/8/01: Pukkelpop Festival , Belgium

For more info check out this brilliant fan site:
http://www.nekozine.co.uk
So for those of u who live in Holland or Germany I suggest u don't miss that event.

Didn't some of the members break up? I saw that on mtv news 1 day. Too many rumors on mtv I swear, where Britney Spears was getting married to Justin Timberlake.

they call prodigy electronic music? wow thats some damn hardcore electronic music.

Posted by TraNceFaN on Jun-30-2001 04:13:

Yes u r right, Leeroy Thornhill (the 3rd guy on the pic) has quit the band in april of the year 2000.As he says the reason for this is his solo projects and producing his own music.
They realesed out some of their old stuff again a month ago it's called Experience/Expanded. It's a double CD with an old 'Experience' album and some old rare remixes but I dunno why did they do that? Probably just for the money purposes.
Anyway,their live gigs is the biggest cuzz on earth.

It's not hardcore whatever u call it or many people say they are techno. It's not techno either The Prodigy frontman Liam Howlett describes their style as hard dance music.

The Prodigy are awesome , i've been listening to them since they released "No Good" in 1994 (i was 11 years old)

I heard somewhere that Prodigy was re-releasing "The Prodigy Experience" with a bonus CD with unreleased tracks & B sides. I wonder what that's like.

Yeah, same here. I was 11, and I really liked that tune. One year later I heard "Out Of Space", from the first album, and I couldn't stop listening to it.

I think I never really like them...
Always have seen their music as sort of crappy noise...
But I was really young when they were popular

Posted by rawkus rowan on Jun-30-2001 14:44:

i used to love the prodigy when i was younger!
'music for the jilted generation' was ace, used to liten to it all the time. i think that was one of my first doses of dance music actually (if you can call it that)!
do you remember 'claustraphobic sting'? (did i spell that right? oh well)

Posted by TraNceFaN on Jun-30-2001 15:03:

yep that's what it's called: "Claustrophobic String" that's some crazy tune.
I really liked The Fat of The Land more than anything else...

True story about The Prodigy

I live about 20 miles away from 3 members of The Prodigy
thats Near Chelmsford in Essex UK.
Keith of The Prodigy lives in a place called Felstead just outside of Chelmsford but before he bought his new place, he looked at many homes in the area including my Mom's which was for sale at the time.
So he comes round, gives my mom's place the once over and heads upstairs to veiw it and on to my sister's bedroom.
She is a bit of a Hippy into all sorts of dance music
flyers all over her walls etc.
So keith looking at the flyers , Ask's "so i see you like dance music, ever heard of a band called The Prodigy ? "
My sister replys " Oh yeah i heard of them, they are total crap ! "
(she said this not realising who she was talking to )

Hence keith did not buy my Mom's house lol

And now my sister is a devoted Prodigy Fan lol

(This all happened a while back about 7 years ago before the Jilted Generation Album )

lol that's a nice story...
so do these guys live close to you in present??

Posted by DJ Sarah H on Jun-30-2001 17:55:

Yep Keith still lives in Felstead, he has a massive place there and his own recording studio there.

I live a bit further away from him than i did but still drive past his place when i visit my mom lol

Posted by TraNceFaN on Jun-30-2001 18:07:

I see...that's nice and yes Keith does produce his own tunes I dunno of any of it is released out.

Posted by D�eame� on Jun-30-2001 18:12:

YESSS!! I love these guys!! Got all their albums.
I would listen to them more often if i weren't such a trance-fan.

they actually describes their music as electronic rock....
i�d call it jungle... at least they started out that way, but moved over to a more vocal drum & bass kinda type of music....

Posted by mindshooter on Jun-30-2001 21:27:

I love them..they have a different sound....and theyr drums and snares....they are just AWESOME! Only Hybrid beat them there

Posted by TraNceFaN on Jun-30-2001 23:18:

The guy who writes the music for them had collaborations with artists like 3D Del Naja from Massive Attack. They wrote a song together called 'No Souverniers' awhile ago. It wasn't released out yet although it was supposed to be on the soundtrack for the Beach movie but Liam refused to allow it to be on the soundtrack cuzz of one reason Leo Dicaprio who is in the movie who is a cheezy actor lol

Voodoo People is one of my fave songs. So is Poison..Christ, the whole Music for the Jilted Generation is nearly my fave. Brings back memories of high school(when I first heard it)
