MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Their best yet ? I'd say so.
Title track is a ripper 👿
Not heard it all yet, only the one track, but they are gonna have to go some to beat Their Law or Diesel Power....
I take it the album's out now?
Oh yeah was going to try that.
Getting it now. 😈
yawn
Its a stunning track. Been listening to their old stuff loads lately. Loving it. Need a bigger sounds system though.....
And done, time to listen.
I had forogtten that this was out now. Looks like that HMV voucher in my wallet might be disappearing this afternoon.
Ooh think I might play track 5 when at work. 😆
Poor mans PWEI
[i]Poor mans PWEI[/i]
LOL! Where did you get that comparison??
OK poor mans Shamen!!!
Actually I saw them support the Shamen once
Can anyone find it on a free download site? 8)
I'd forgotten about this too. I was listening to the Dirt Chamber sessions on my way to work. Pure class.
just bunged it on my ipod before gong out on a road ride. judgement will be reserved until I've seen if it makes me turn my lungs inside out like 'Experience' does
[i]Can anyone find it on a free download site?[/i]
How else do you think it took me 2 mins to get.
I saw their first ever PA in '91, they videod it for the Charly video.
It is incredible! The sound system in the car is at ASBO levels, I should probably know better. Its probably not safe to ride bikes to, you'd only get carried away...
Loving it, almost old skool Prodigy.
jonhi - agree about the Dirt Chamber sessions EP, Liam Howlett at his finest 
Drac, What site do you use edonkey, limewire?
The Prodigy 😆
It's 2009 by the way 😉

Neither best bet is to look around I won't advertise on here.
Warrior Dance is my fave track so far. A nod to their early works with the vocals, but sounds so fresh.
The title track is horrible, sounds like Pendulum-esq garbage and nothing like The Prodigy of old.
Ive yet to hear any of the other tracks yet though...
Worth a look is it then? *Skips off to hunt down a copy*
Pendulum....The Prodigy called,they'd like their back catalogue back...
The new track is brilliant - had the car radio turned up like I was a 15 year old chav joy riding 🙂
Agree Clubber - its been a while since I turned a track up whilst driving along.Theres plenty I turn down though !!! 🙂
Not been impressed with anything the Prodigy have done since the Jilted Generation album.
Not a fan of dance / rock fusion tbh. Stick to one or the other, eh lads? 😉
And yes the new single sounds like a Pendulum rip-off. Strange that, when they were seen as heavily Prodge influenced.
Out of interest - for the nay sayers, if a track isn't original (in the sense that the latest one is very 90s prodigy so arguably isn't original) is it a bad thing if it's a brilliant track still?
This reminds me a bit of people who claim not to like 'mainstream' music as though something being popular somehow inherently affects its musical credentials?

Prodigy = Electronic music for people who don't like electronic music.
They're the equivalent of "dad rock"
If this sounds anything like anything by pendulum that isn't pre-hold your colour then I shall not be happy!
[i]Poor mans PWEI

Err maybe because Clint Mansell of Pop Will Eat Itself fame and other members of PWEI collaborated on such well know tracks as Their Law and Voodoo People.
"Electronic music for people who don't like electronic music"
That's just such a load of b0llocks though isn't it - that's just because you like electronic music but not prodigy. I like electronic music too (and I'm not going to get into some music geek examination of my credentials) but I also like Prodigy. I daresay that I could find at least one example of an electronic group that you like that I don't - Would that mean that I could fire the same accusation back?

Commercial dance chart fodder rubbish. 8)

I think you should take a long, hard look at the way you just contradicted yourself there, chap!
🙂
BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Stop getting so worked up the lot of yer, if you like the sound and it flicks your switch so be it.
Dirt Chamber sessions, mental nonsense but good.
No one send me a linky yet to a download site ? 😥
well, back from a 30 mile shops and back blast.
not a massive fan
definitely went faster when Jilted Generation was playing, it's all a bit too happy pendulumy drum and bassy for me. where's the darkness gone. did like 'take me to the hospital' though, not really appropriate for a road ride 😆
'no good (start the dance)' was fun through town, especially when a pensioner tried to kill me in his spacca wagon. he got a right mouthful, probably a little too much 😡
now what prodigy album for intervals in the gym tonight?

So. Band A contributes to band B's early singles, that obviously makes Band B a "poor man's" band A. Yeah ok mate.
Just picked it up in Tesco on the way home, funny how music affects your driving style.
Got home quicker than usual 😉
Early signs are it's going to be played alot, but then I am a fan anyway.
Forgot about PWEI...saw them live at Reading Uni years ago
Goes off to find Def Con One and for some reason has the urge to hear Senser - Age of Panic
TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL
WELCOME TO THE SCENE OF THE CRASH...
Superb!
Where's WCA?
😀
Prodigy = Electronic music for people who don't like electronic music.
Oh dear.
I'm not wild about a lot of their later output but early stuff was awesome and people were probably raving to it before you had even heard of dance music. Will have a listen to this one.

Wrong.
And they're the complete antithesis of everything I know and love. The whole UK rave scene bastardized the sounds coming out of Detroit and Chicago to the point where the focus was on getting off your t.i.t.s. rather than the music.
You just don't get it, that's all. It's the bastardized nature of it that made it so brilliant - a punk rock DIY ethos and melting pots of genres etc.
It's much more interesting than boring, serious house and techno.
Nope.
It's pop music.
For kids.
Bet you're the life and soul of a party.
gimme big mac
gimme fries to go !
Have to say that I'm not as impressed as I was hoping for, then again I haven't liked many of their recent efforts until I'd listened to them a few times.
I think it'll be a grower tbh
I'd also agree that the dirtchamber sessions (and in particular the annie mac version before he had chance to 'tidy' it all up) is one of my fave mixes
So. Band A contributes to band B's early singles, that obviously makes Band B a "poor man's" band A. Yeah ok mate.
No its because PWEI were one of the earlier bands to take dance and rock influences and mix them together and the fact that Clint Mansell has more musical talent in his smelly dreads than the whole of Prodigy put together.
Lol! By coincidence my son wanted to watch something on Youtube and showed him this -
(starts about 20secs in)
Bet you're the life and soul of a party.
Thats the thing, if you want to play some music at a party to rave to or whatever, then this new album fits the bill.
However, as an album that you would sit down and listen to, its pretty whack. Not a patch on The Experience, MFTJG or Fat of the Land.
Too many of the songs sound a bit samey and bland (maybe not the best way of describing it) They sound like Freestylers or Pendulum tracks, not very original at all. A couple of the songs sound like there old school stuff before MFTJG.
However, the album is pityfully short (about half the length of MFTJG) and has no epic tracks in it like Narayan, No Good, Speedway etc. Plus all of the songs annoy me by the fact they seem to tightly structured.
Overall, its probably most like The Experience, but if you really enjoyed the Prodigy of MFTJG and Fat of the Land then Im not sure whether you'll enjoy this.
To me, the thing is - there's so much more new and exciting stuff out there than expecting old bands to come up with something fresh sounding. Go discover!

Exactly, the Prodigy had there time many years ago, theres much more interesting stuff about.
If your easy to please and just want something to rave to then you'll probably like this album, otherwise try something else.

Your parties must be a riot 😳
Let's all agree to disagree.
Your parties must be a riot [:oops:]Let's all agree to disagree.
Crikey, if you lightened up a bit, no doubt your life would be a 'riot'
Come on then BoardinBob, what counts as good dance music? Jeff Mills? OK, but pretty dull.

Mills hasn't done anything interesting musically since his Purpose Maker stuff back in '97
Stuff floating the boat for me at the moment

Monolake
Major chortledge.Major.
Whats that?
Is it a disease that effects people who cant enjoy a house party unless its playing the latest 'underground' music?
Aye it is.
Terrible affliction.
I can imagine the wild parties playing Monolake ! Riot indeed!
See some of that list sounds pretty similar to The Prodigy, but because less people have heard of them you consider them to be more cool.
Also a lot of it is alright music, but not something I would choose to go out and dance/party too. Some of it is also pretty poor, and no more sophisticated than anything The Prodigy have made, but has an arguably less commercial sound.
The fact is that most dance music is fairly disposable - I love some of it and have DJ'd for many years, but if I want timeless, quality music with emotional depth, I listen to some jazz or something. The Prodigy have made some classic tunes and it seems like you take dance music way too seriously.
I haven't really liked a Prodigy album much since Experience though I have to say.
Monolake rule. Well said....
Ive been to a few parties where Monolake has been played, I had a marvelous time!
this is great.
so who is winning in the 'my music collection is more niche/underground than yours' comp?
put rock and roll station by nurse with wound on at a party-that'll sort the men from the boys

good choice sodafaris-guaranteed floor filler.

50-something tracks iirc.
I went to the NWW London Fields Lido show last summer, that was fantastic...but a little chilly...
Just listening to the Invaders album on iTunes. Love the old skool samples in Warriors Dance (track 6).
The whole UK rave scene bastardized the sounds coming out of Detroit and Chicago to the point where the focus was on getting off your t.i.t.s. rather than the music.
Music doesn't start pure, then go on to be unfortunately bastardised. It's in constant flux as artists influence others. House music was strongly influenced by elements of soul- and funk-infused varieties of disco.
Now who's bastardising?
Also, Detroit techno and Chicago house scenes were renowned for being awash with drugs. I suppose it's debatable where the 'focus' was.
right, where can i download some tracks drm free (of the legal sort) ?
Bob, i really think you take yourself far too seriously though some me the stuff you listed is admittedly good, some is laughably crap from someone who seems to think they're a musical guru...
Anyway, that's enough music geekery for me. Listen to what you like, eh...
iTunes plus is DRM free + very high quality (if anybody claims I'm wrong I want to see ABX logs!)
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=303040487&s=143444
Neil Diamond last week, this week the Prodigy ,both brilliant..
Just bought it.
Oooh the memories of the Malverns...
anything except itunes. Too spyware-like for my tastes...
Came home to find my copy on the doormat - I'm suiitably impressed, although it isn't their best work.
Loving Run With The Wolves at the moment. I'm not sure Stand Up quite fits with the rest of the album though.
Interesting to see Dave Grohl has done the drum bashing on some of the tracks too.
Definitely a cd that needs to be played 'kin LOUD!
agreed. good, but on first listen i dont reckon as good as fat of the land. still f'in good tho 🙂
I recieved a "funny" look from an OAP who I stopped for at a Zebra crossing today with it blasting out with the window down !.That's good enough for me ! First listen,hmmmmmm,I dont know about it being as good as MFTGJ but time will tell,I have so many memories associated with that album - flashback central 😉
