Someone asked on re**it who were the prodigy. I said that they played the song you hear in the matrix when neo first meets trinity. They said that they weren't alive when the matrix was released. We are old.

The Matrix came out closer to the first Star Wars movie than to today

Sure, it was the same year. That's what you meant, right?

Shame about Keith. The prodigy was fire back in the early 90s. Charlie, poison, voodoo people and of course Keith's firestarter. Last album or two hasn't hit me the same. But that's probably the 30 years on my part. Not in my 20s or in college anymore.

The last I really enjoyed is a complimentary live album to their movie about the Invaders tour, I guess it was in early 2010s. Probably worth a watch\listen if you are into that.

I found “No Tourists” a wonderful homage to their first album “Experience”. It had old, old school rave vibes to it that, but with a current feel.

Andy C’s remix of firestarter is great too. Worth a listen if you like hard drum and bass with a prodigy vibe.

First Prodigy song I ever heard was "Their Law" and that's still their peak IMHO.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Their law definitely thumps. And off the top of my head it's the only song of there's I really remember using much of a guitar sound at all. But breathe, Invaders must die, or take me to the hospital also thump pretty hard as well.

"Baby's Got a Temper" is also a banger, but it's a bit of a tough sell when you're singing about how great Rohypnol is.

True enough. Also part of the reason why smack my bitch up was so controversial. Even in spite of or because of the video? The wrist was excellent. Nearly any other similar vocal could have been used. And it wouldn't have made much difference to the song.

I think I’m much more humble than you’d understand.
