    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.

      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.

          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.
