Their best yet ? I'd say so.
Title track is a ripper ๐ฟ
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. ๐
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. ๐
Poor mans PWEI

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

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 ๐
It's 2009 by the way ๐

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 ๐
Agree Clubber - its been a while since I turned a track up whilst driving along.Theres plenty I turn down though !!! ๐
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? ๐
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!

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 ? ๐ฅ
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 ๐
'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 ๐ก
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 ๐
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?

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.
