The Prodigy

[Fugitive]

I have got a few days off work and decided to get a few beers and get a few of my old Vinyls on the go and have now got stuck in a Prodigy loop. 
 

I honestly think they are so unappreciated for what they did and the style of music they encompassed. They appealed to so many different people who love so completely different genres and were one of my favourite live acts ever.

 

I had the pleasure to work with them quite a few times and they were absolutely great and genuinely nice fellas with no airs and graces about them.

Best live act I've ever seen. All 3 times. It's actually 4 but I barely remember Creamfields 06, I was badly fucked up.

Great band, seen them a few times. 

 

I first heard of them in early 90s as a 15 year old kid, I was standing at Runcorn East train station waiting for a train to Warrington and an older lad was stood nearby with a Walkman on playing loud enough that I could hear something that sounded so good I went and asked what it was. It was Everybody in the place.

 

I was such a nerd I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget it.

Saw them live at V97 in Leeds. Great weekend. 

 

Still have Charley on vinyl somewhere

They were absolutely immense live. I was working 2006 creamfields and can’t remember much either. I was at the side of stage watching it.

 

Still prefer Speke though!

[Rushies tash]

Love Experience. Still play it now. Some of the remixes are brilliant.

I seen them in 97 too at Glastonbury.

 

I say seen, I was in the vicinity of the stage, it was a bit of a brilliant blur.

Poison is one of the great tracks of the 90s, just fucking magic from start to finish.

 

 

Just as an aside, 'vinyls'? They're records.

Yeah, they are records… made of vinyl.

Good man

First I heard of them was Charly in 1992 (I would've been 13). The 12" got played to fuck in our house.

Seen them on this tour.

One of my favourite artists ever. I think I might have everything they've ever released. 

I love lashing 'The Heat (The Energy)' on full blast. Tune.

 

They had a few remixes of old tracks released yesterday for anyone interested. 

 

 

[ZonkoVille77]

Just reminded me of this video of a track Liam Howlett remixed. Many a night spent on pills watching this back in a house party.

Saw them at a few raves in the early 90s, including this one. This was their best line up with Leeroy and Keith just on dancing duties in them days. Also saw them at Glastonbury in 1995 on the other stage whilst Oasis were on. One of the best live experiences ever. Although I had taken a lot of drugs.

I've always had a soft spot for Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned. 

 

Jilted ...is probably in my top ten albums.

[Clem H Fandango]

Pwei never released this song properly and gave it to Liam. Prefer the original though.

 

 

[Pidge]

Come on now, Fat of the Land is their best. Saying otherwise is like pretending you prefer Kid A...

[Bruce Spanner]

First band I ever saw live.

 

I still have imprinted on my mind the look of absolute disgust and confusion on Keith Flints face as he was driven in the back door to be greeted at the gates by an eleven year old me with my mother as chaperone. 
 

He, I assume, knew the game was up at that point. 

[Guest]

I don't remember much about the details of Keith Flint's passing but where do you have to be mentally to want to leave the world through self-hanging? It's just the ultimate punishment so for someone to feel they deserve that for themselves is just so sad.

[Simbo]

Never seen them live but their albums were a staple of my youth. 
 

Have to admit I’m not a massive fan of their newer stuff. Experience and Music for the Jilted Generation were peak Prodigy. Fat of the Land was a mixed bag for me, some epic tracks and some skippable.
