Prodigy, did stuff like:

Big beat
Breakbeat
Techno

I haven't liked anything after Music for the Jilted Generation (1994). Just was not into the big beat craze at all to be honest.

I loved Music for the Jilted Generation and Fat of the Land. Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned, not so much. My mate sends me youtube videos of their latest tracks and remixes as recorded from their live venues, and I can't say I enjoy most of them. :/

But I still rock out the oldies all the time! SMBU never gets old

Originally posted by zabrak Prodigy, did stuff like: Big beat Breakbeat Techno Anyway I ******* love that group, just got done listening to their classic The Fat of the Land album. I must say though, after listening to so much Trance it was hard for me to get back into these guys...Like I'd love Techno and all of that back in the day but once I discovered Trance I pretty much never got out of it, then I realized how classic groups like The Prodigy were. Anyway, what are your takes on stuff like that?

no shit, i was thinking the exact same thing just last week..

i rediscovered some of their old tracks.. getting stuck back into Firestarter et al.

never got stuck into much of their newer stuff, but the film clip for Spitfire really caught my attention. awsome..



edit: not that many trance fans would be familiar, but the vocals in this song sound like they've been inspired by Zac de la Rocha from Rage Against the Machine

the soul of the Prodigy stills lives in their new work. This new album [early next year] is going to kill.

the new sounds are pumping, and diabolical.

Their new stuff sounds decent. Howlett has given up trying to be cutting edge and gone back to the comfort zone of the early 90s.

And just about everyone on this forum knows the Prodge, and most of them will enjoy at least some of their discography. And a lot of people know who RATM are too, for the guy who thinks everyone here is a trance evangalist.

Personally, I've got all four Prodigy albums (AONO with the ultra-rare black cover, and Experience: Expanded) and four singles as well. Don't play them now as much as I used to, but I still love their stuff.

agreed

"Experience" is incredible, A CLASSIC and part of the roots of what contributed to early dance music culture not just in Britain but internationally. The album was a major hit and most of the material on there is still played on radio stations and in various artists DJ sets as dubbed material. The Prodigy are legends in their own right.

Listen to some of the sets from the early Fantazia parties in the early 1990s that started it all. They were all playing prodigy tracks left and right.

Music for the Jilted Generation is a great album too. Fat of the Land is still good, a little different sound but still has some classic hits like Firestarter and Smack my Bitch up.

Basically aftter the late 90s they sort of fell off the roof. We don't hear of anything massive with Prodigy anymore, as they used to completely dominate the scene and also dance music culture as a whole in the early 1990s. Nowadays the more popular mainstream style in clubs around the world is Trance, Progressive (and Prog Trance). Prodigy was their own unique style but they were closer to hardcore/drum and bass than anything. We just don't see their style of music being the going thing clubwise (looking at Ibiza, maintage WMC, or Gatecrasher). It's the trance style that's dominating now, and it's sad to see what is happening to good progressive, with many of those DJs going to this minimal stuff that in my opinion is just audio garbage, it's destroyed many good DJs (most not. Digweed, Deep Dish, Misstress Barbara + many others). I used to totally dig the style of music Digweed played (Bedrock, GU) Barbara used to shred it on the decks with her banging techno, and Deep Dish used to captivate dancefloors with their deep funky tribal house. Loved it, but love them no more. OK end of thread.
