Prodigy Greatest Hits Rar
Music to Iron By If you want music to iron by or get the house cleaned quickly this is the music to buy. I played one of these songs in my office and it caused a normally placcid man with a bad back injury to jump up on a swivel chair and start dancing. We had to force the poor fella to sit down. This particular group's work precedes Fat Boy Slim (also good for ironing and house cleaning too) but remains the bees knees as far as I'm concerned. Just one thing to be aware of - it can lead to a ringing tone in the ears when you turn it up too loudly (on your headphones, that is - not recommended to be played loudly if you want to remain friends with the neighbours). Great little bargain and if you want to get the ironing or housecleaning done more quickly and then come out of the trance wondering who the hell just did the ironing and hoovered the carpets this is the one for you.
British electronic group, founded in 1990. Their first release was single 'What Evil Lurks' (1991). Their early music was mostly rave/breakbeat, but has become more mainstream mixing in rock guitars with the third album 'The Fat Of The Land' (1997). Band members: - (head of the group; producer). (vocals, dancing).
(MCing, vocals). (- (dancing) – former longterm member). The original Prodigy line-up was Liam on keyboards and Leeroy, Keith and Sharky as dancers. Maxim was recruited at short notice to MC at their debut gig at Labrynth in Dalston, London. Sharky left the group at Christmas 1990 after they got their record deal with XL as she didn't want to devote more time to the band. Their initial deal with XL was for 4 singles, with XL paying a £1500 advance prior to the first single.
The Prodigy briefly used the pseudonym (named after Liam's studio) for the original white-label summer releases of 'One Love' (1993). Left the band in 2000.
I first heard the prodigy in 1991 and prior to that i was a disillusioned thrash metal fan who couldn't find anything besides Mertallica worth listening too, from the first moment i heard the opening riff of Charlie i new i had found the type of music that was looking for, metal was instantly swepped away by breakbeats and techno!!! I think a lot of metal fans made the switch to techno and raves in those early days. This has all been said before but i love the Prodigy's uncompromising attitude to the commercialisation of dance music which is the great tragedy of our time, raves are not what they were in the 90's, these days they are sponsored by multi national corp like Coca cola and advertised on the side s of buses. Superstar DJ'S are a bunch of fuckheads, ever since vinyl went out of fashion in favour of sticking a stupid frigging usb stick into a sound system and making out like they are actually mixing when in fact they are playing a pre recorded mix it is impossible for cynicism to not set in. I still love electronic music but there is no denying the new generation of DJ'S suck!!! From the beginning when I grew up in a littel village in Germany, sitting every saturday to listen to the UK charts on the radio I fell in love with this band.
Prodigy Greatest Hits Rares
I began buying all their CD´s when other guys in school didn´t even know them. Then Out of space hit the charts across europe and they got more popular outside the UK. In 94 Music for the jilted generation was released.everybody began loving them. I was in 2 concerts, 95 together with Moby and 97 solo. Especially the 97 concert just blow my mind.so fucking loud your whole body was in vibration even you stood still.
I always regret that I was only 14 and from Germany when the rave scene in the UK started, it must have been amazing to visit such parties. For sure this must be the best electronic band that ever set foot on this planet. So innovative, creative, powerful and full of ideas, always ahead of their time and never tired to mix music styles to one unique sound. The Prodigy is possibly the greatest electronic dance music act in history. Apart from staying on the level even with new tracks, they showed that the amount of energy they bring live on their gigs is uncomparable to any other EDM band as I know it. And I'm not the one who sits at home listening to the music that should be danced to. I've been on their concerts in 1995, 2005 and 2009 and all I can say they're actually getting better and better over the time.
I'm their hardcore fan because they simply stood the test of time, and because Liam is constantly inovating, and he also likes to bring some old-skool beats and vibes again. The Prodigy's first demo tape to XL Records in 1990 contained 5 tracks: 'Evil Minds', 'Dr. Zupan', 'Oz', 'Lift Me' and 'Charly' (Remix '91). XL also have a floppy disk containing 'Death Of The Prodigy Dancer' (Studio Version) 1992, which is different to the version found on 'The Experience' album because the album version was recorded live with Keith MCing. 1) - 'Evil Minds' - Breakbeat, with grimey bass line and ravey synths.
'What's wrong with you man? - He's crazy' is a vocal sample used over parts of the song, mostly cut to just 'What's wrong with you man?' On this tape, 'Evil Minds' and 'Lift Me' are my joint favourite tracks. Zupan' - Acid House with a slight electro feel to it on the percussion. To me this tracks sounds dated and a bit simple, but I can imagine in it's day being pretty good. On The tape it is my least favourite.
3) 'Oz' - Breakbeat with a guitar sample. The guitar sample; in my opinion gives a feeling of the Middle East and Arabian nights.
Rapidshare download dvdrip xvid. It sounds quite fresh and up-to-date, like the music from 'The Fat Of The Land Album', or the soundtrack to the motion picture 'The Matrix'. I wasn't fond of this track when I first heard it but has grown on me a lot.
4) 'Lift Me' - Very typically Old Skool music - if your a fan of the Rave sound i'd strongly suggest trying to find this. It's not fast, but the bass line is definitely grimey! Also the 'Woo-hoo' sample you may recognise; as The Prodigy used it again in the track 'Your Love'.
5) 'Charly' (Remix '91) - Breakbeat laiden Rave / Hardcore. Sounds quite similar to the Original Mix, only there are little differences like sound effects, the way the song is constructed, extra pads, different introduction and different outro. 6) 'Death Of The Prodigy Dancer' (Studio Version) - just the same as what you can hear on the album, only without the MCing, and marginally clearer. The distortion on the album is also on the Studio Version in places which makes me think that was the sound Liam was trying to create. As the track fades out you can hear 'Everybody Into The Place' (155 And Rising) fading up, which makes me think this was the next track Liam wanted on the album, only it was all re-arranged when they couldn't fit all the tracks on. With exception to 'Charly' (Remix '91) and 'Death Of The Prodigy Dancer' (Studio Version) most of the tracks are quite slow compared to their Hardcore/Rave/Techno tracks some may expect from their singles and albums released between 1991-1995.
Old Skool Hardcore fans should check out 'Evil Minds', 'Lift Me' and 'Death Of The Prodigy Dancer' (Studio Version). I found them on The Prodigy's official website in 2007, but now the site is being updated and I don't know if these tracks will be included on their home page again. Good luck finding them! Really XL should just release everything they have they have kept back from us over the years, and we wouldn't have to settle with poorer quality sound over the internet.

The Prodigy have managed to stay on the fringes of electronic music styles since their start in the early ninties. They began with 'Experience', a unique blend of old-skool jungle, breakbeat and hardcore techno. They only hit the world wide stage with the release of 'Music for the Jilted Generation' which demonstrated the diversity of music styles they were able to achieve. Many people think that the third albulm 'Fat of the Land' was a sell out, but personally I think it was a move back to Liam's preferred style, an elctro/punk clash which bought them world-wide fame.
