***** It was LP of The Prodigy Experience for me. Hearing Charly, Out Of Space and Hyperspeed for the first time back then just blew everything else out of the water at the time
chris masamune yes. by the time the second and third album came out i was waiting for them. the prodigy experience and moby - early underground were my first two electronica cds. 90s rave/electronica is the best. before genres solidified. the 4/4 and broken beats were all mingled together as just music.
Robert Purvis It's the Big Beat genre. It was the shit in the 90's! There were a few other groups that were on par with The Prodigy such as Genaside II, Propellerheads, Meat Beat Manifesto, etc they all had that "Prodigy Sound" but of course no one can do it like the masters. The Prodigy have never made a bad record, it's all creative, hard, danceable, and innovative in my honest opinion
Chris Masamune yeessss! forgot about that term. i was lucky to have seen live the chemical bros (1st coachella), orbital, underworld (twice), and the crystal method in the late 90s. i was a big beat junkie back then. that one propellerheads album was amazing. never got to see the god damn prodigy though. i know they made a comeback tour the last two yrs but no stops in america but the ultra festival. i will settle for Metallica for the first time this July for my fun this year.
They forced dance upon us. I couldn't stop dancing in 97 and my children dance to them too. How mad is that. Pure energy. Since then everybody tries to sound like them.
I am from Romania. Born in communism in '81. I used to listen to rock and metal until in '92 when I heard Prodigy. The reset happened... I felt this is the music from my mind and for my kind.
It's a shame Copyright laws have pretty much destroyed an entire age of music. I'd love to hear another Prodigy album using all those "ilegal" samples again.
@gavinmillar461 yes mate i heard of them around 1990 when a track called " what evil lurks" was around on bootleg xl. I managed to get a copy and charly was released and i have every vinyl they released.
"people that like doing high energy sports in a field thats sort of basically the wrong side of the law" is the politest way of saying doing e at a festival. RIP Keith
RIP to Keith, iconic figure of the 90s when I was growing up, loved The Prodigy from Out Of Space single onwards even though I was what my raver mates called a 'sweat-neck' indie/rock fan lol They had that appeal and energy that crossed the divide and Keith was a big part of that, thanks for the memories dude 💔✌
Prodigy, in my opinion, were the only rave pa that was any good. Absolute legends who would rock a party. I'm glad I got to see them so many times. Happy days.
By praising them to the hilt, it's really good to see Dom Phillips eating a huge slice of humble pie after that ridiculous article which slated them five years before this video was made. When he did that piece in Mixmag he obviously didn't foresee the success and longevity the Prodigy would end up having.
Maxim sang breathe to me at the Barras yrs ago. I shit myself lol. He was towering over me telling me to breathe with him, I was going to be breathing anyway but I did what I was told
Mixmag turned its back on hardcore ravers. Even their terminology went from Ravers to 'clubbers'. They stopped covering the rave scene and then done a 180 as it became cool again 🙄
Yep Original Members Are.... Liam Howlett (Keyboarder) Keith Flint (Dancer/) Leeroy Thornhill (Dancer) Maxim (MC) Sharky (Dancer) But Sharky Left Early In 1991 and Leeroy Left In 2000 Then Keith Sadly Passed Away In 2019
Had a conversation with Maxim around 2003 round a mates house, but so used to his stage persona I didn't recognise him. Only found out 10 minutes after he'd left. Nice guy, no pretensions. Owned an Akai MPC of his for about a week, but that's another story.
It’s funny with these uk tv programs from 2000’s, that they all share alike minded monotonic groovebox beat, wheter it is reality tv show, love boat singles or blind date uk whatever - and now I realized it’s the same even with respectable documents like this. I know it’s a copyright thingy, but if there’s a document of one of the most monumental uk acts, there should be their (Liam’s) own beats. Despite that, great docu!
Frank Hansen Now one of the Christmas decorations is dead and the Prodigy as we knew it will never be the same again. Liam is a musical genius but I wonder where he’s going to find a frontman as unique and charismatic as Flint was.
The Prodigy experience Liam howlett is a God. The Prodigy are the best live PA I have ever seen.EVER STILL the prodigy experience Carlisle sands centre 92😋 RiP Kieth flint 🤘🐜
@@nt5811 its a joke. We all tried it back in the day, keeping banana skins on top of the radiators and drying them out for days, but fk all happened lol. May as well just go score some bud tbf
Kind of right about "Smack My Bitch Up", that was probably the high water mark as far as publicity. Does make you wonder if they would have stayed bigger if they didn't release it, I never made that association before.
I just learned it was most likely a sample from "Give the Drummer Some" by the Ultramagnetic MCs, makes sense they would stir up controversy by reaching back to the old school hiphop roots. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6eSrD3bvZAE.html
32:35. Maxim: We don't really go out of our way to push ourselves in ppl's faces. We wait for them to discover us. You know. Better for someone to come to a show and then bring friends.
45 minutes of Prodigy documentary with 0 minutes of actual Prodigy music... This was nut just 'unofficial', it was unofficial to the point of being scared of being sued...
does anyone know the name and artist of the first track? This track also appear in the official trailer of Beowulf, the movie from 1999, from the producer of Mortal kombat movies Lawrence Kasanof. I got the soundtrack from this film, but this track is not the part of it. Only on official trailer. The ost of Beowulf is killer, there's also Prodigy - Religion (Bass under siege mix) of Front 242 on the soundtrack. First track of Prodigy Evolution is pure madness!
It was until around 2000 when nu metal became pop music and so-cal punk rock also became chart friendly pop. After that the likes of Fall Out Guy filled the pages and the magazine had never been the same since.
