Dan I went to school with Keith and I’m really chuffed what he achieved as he was sound. Grateful to him putting me on to the Cult & Herbie Hancock at Youth Club.
RichM hugopal each to their own. I agree some of their biggest tracks came from that album which do sound great live, but to me it was heading away from what I loved about the Prodigy from the first 2 albums. Jilted Generation is by far their best album
RichM alistair they were huge tracks and I saw them live loads of times after that album came out, and loved those gigs. Just wasn’t a fan of the album, don’t think I even bought it. That album properly sent them mainstream and they deserved it.
hugopal alistair Funky Shit is a wicked track Yeah I was thinking earlier that it was prob the one that would work best if played out today.
zackster RichM you can’t include Fat of the Land amongst their golden albums, only the first 2 we’re decent, Agreed
BlainSA The fat of the land had a handful of bangers… And really I’m talking ⅘ at most. There were some real stinkers and dull moments Vs the first 2 albums which were FULL of bangers. The only exception being Death of the Prodigy dancers.
jonattonyeah 1997 was a pretty exceptional year for albums. Dig Your Own Hole, Fat Of The Land, New Forms, Homework, Colours, Modus Operandi, Orblivion, ESCM… And that’s not even getting into the likes of OK Computer, Bricolage, Life After Death, et cetera.
zackster jonattonyeah Luke Slater Freak Funk and Roni Size New Forms were both 1997 and the two first legit pieces of electronic music I owned.
bosstrabs jonattonyeah 1997 was a pretty exceptional year for albums. Dig Your Own Hole, Fat Of The Land, New Forms, Homework, Colours, Modus Operandi, Orblivion, ESCM… And that’s not even getting into the likes of OK Computer, Bricolage, Life After Death, et cetera. 1995 was the best year in my lifetime for music: Tricky - Maxinquaye Radiohead - The Bends Pulp - Different Class PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love Goldie - Timeless Rocket From The Crypt – Hot Charity Pavement – Wowee Zowee The Verve – A Northern Soul The Charlatans – The Charlatans Garbage – Garbage The Chemical Brothers – Exit Planet Dust Spiritualized Electric Mainline – Pure Phase Massive Attack V Mad Professor – No Protection Money Mark – Mark’s Keyboard Repair Wagon Christ – Throbbing Pouch Leftfield – Leftism Raekwon – Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Genius/GZA – Liquid Swords Sonic Youth – Washing Machine Stereolab – Music For The Amorphous Body Study Center Bjork – Post The Smashing Pumpkins – Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness Neil Young – Mirrorball Bomb The Bass – Clear Probably loads more too
apyssjw alistair whether its any cop is subjective but mothballed is a little unfair on some of those names FSOL - release a new track every month (which compounds into their 12 track calendar albums at the end of each year) and have released 4 stand alone albums in the last two years. The Orb - Alex Patterson is releasing lots of material via his newish label. Leftfield - new album is finished release date tbc
