anyone else into these incredibly talented artists?
i'm not speaking of only the newer developments but from a while back to when dig your own hole and experience came out.
i personally adore chemical brothers because their sounds are so innovative and complex that evertime you hear it you discover something new.
prodigy is just an overall FEEL GOOD music. it gets to up and dancing in no time.! also put on crazy arse shows
fatboy slim..well he's also excellent but i have a feeling he's moving towards the sell out side..but thats just a VERY generalized and unsupported deduction. which i actually take back. heh but his older stuff is just great. plus his weapon of choice vid. hah its fecking hilarious!

The difference is that Chemical Brothers/Fatboy Slim/(not all) of Prodigy is big beat, whether Crystal Method is Chemical beats.
Their live act can't be compared though: Prodigy was mainly a live act, with people who would do nothing but keep the crowd going (remember that, out of 4 people, only 1 of them actually produces).
Out of all these artists, Liam Howlett (Prodigy's mastermind) is my favourite. In all his albums, he works with at least two completely different genres, and he did evolve during all this time.
The Chemical Brothers are also outstanding, and they were really important in the history of Big Beats. Nevertheless, "Hey Boy! Hey Girl" and the second remix of "Life Is Sweet" show their potention in other genres (something more housy).
Fatboy Slim is also a great producer, who came up with some very good ideas. However, he's too attached to one genre (as far as I'm concerned, apart from Star 69, all he produced was big beats).
If you like big beats and trance, listen to Moby's "Feeling so real": quite interesting. Also, there's "Fluke" with "Atom Bomb" and "Absurd" (although their sound is a bit 'colder'), Junkie XL's first album (Saturday Teenage Kick). And, if you like early Prodigy, look for SL2 (cheesy as hell though).
hhmmm.... I guess that's all I had to say about big beat.... |

It was Chemical Brothers - Sunshine Underground that first got me into beats.
That toon still knocks me on my ass everytime I hear it.
The Surrender album is PHENOMENAL! |

Chemical Brothers rock!
Fatboy Slim sold his soul to corporate gods (but he did make some nice tunes before that tho...) |

Prodigy rocked my world back when Fat of the Land came out, and i was brand new to electronic music.. when i heard 'Smack My Bitch Up' for the first time i knew i was hooked :D :D :D that tune and the rest of the CD all stayed on repeat for the longest time.. the second CD i ever bought, back in freshman year of high school.. ah memreeess... fatboy slim is another matter, i bought the Cd and i thought it was Ok but it didnt sweep me off my feet.. and im afraid i never liked the chemical brothers, the completely AWFUL tune "Block Rockin Beats" COMPLETELY turned me off of any of their music.
Prodigy was one of my earliest influences.. along with Nine Inch Nails, Stabbing Westward, Robert Miles and some eurodance people, especially Dj Quicksilver and Sash. |
