Listening to "Fat Of The Land" really takes you back to the mid 90s specifically to Britain during the "Cool Britannia" period. You listen to the music from that time period and the British bands had this urban/working class vibe to their music in the way they sung in their accents and in the lyrics that they would write. Keith Flint was definitely channelling Johnny Rotten with his vocals in "Firestarter"
Another story for you JP. My eldest son was born in 95 and as a baby used to dance around the living room to this in his nappies (daipers) while watching the video on TV. In fact one of the first words he said was "Firestarter".. A few years ago, before Keith, the lead singer committed suicide, we went to see them live in the UK and to watch a grown man shouting "I'm a Firestarter" and dancing at the gig made me and my wife beam. Ironically my son Sam works as an Environmental Officer at a nuclear power facility where his job is literally involves dealing with fires! One final thought - a suggestion. If you get the chance, Ian Dury and the Blockheads please...
I see them in Winterthur Switzerland live.. They be legends! The singer it's sadly died.. But i be happy.. Prodigy still be here! I put for my self.. The style also in drum and bass.. And a good slice of punk... Just legends.. And still here.
I was a mailman doing a 14 mile walking route that usually took 8-9 hours. I had the prodigy's greatest hits on... and I was done in 4 hours and I never had any idea I was zooming.
Wow, has it really been 25 yrs since this came out! They did some really good stuff TP, and their vids were always interesting too. This fast beat, heavy sampled stuff, I did get into, despite being too old to go to 'rave' clubs, even back then :). I liked the energy, think I picked it up from playing Wipeout on the original playstation. That game had one fantastic soundtrack. Re the singer, Keith Flint, sadly, he had issues, and hanged himself back in 2019.
That WipeOut 2097 soundtrack remains unchallenged. Truly epic and just the perfect style for that fantastic game. Blasting along those racetracks listening to Firestarter Instrumental is still one of my favourite gaming moments of all time.
@@papaquonis Aye, a great game, tunes, and a lot of fun to play. Get some mates round and it'd make for a crackin' night. And though I loved firestarter, my fave was always 'chemical beats', from the chemical brothers off the first wipeout :) Great days.
@@jfergs.3302 When I saw the first Wipeout in the shops, I knew i just HAD to get a Playstation. The art style, music and the fastpaced (and also brutally unforgiving) gameplay of that game was unlike anything else I had ever seen at the time. My favourite track from the first game is Cairodrome by Cold Storage. Both soundtracks were just all around cool.
Here in France this band was extremely popular, we were always blasting some Prodigy tracks in our little parties. It really was the Jungle/Drum'n Bass era here but we didn't categorized Prodigy as a genre, we were just like "Put some Prodigy right now". But I guess we could say it's some Breakbeat, like Chemical Brothers, or Propperllerheads, who were not so popular.
I wasn't expecting this on the channel! And now I feel really old, how is it 25 years since this was released?! A real breakthrough track, one of the last number one singles in the UK that really mattered. Plenty of punk energy and intensity about Flint's vocals and visual style. If I recall, this track appeared in the movie Hackers?
This wasn't in Matrix, but very close... the Prodigy track you'll be thinking of was "Mindfields", used alongside "Dragula" by Rob Zombie, both used in that same nightclub scene. Both are worth a reaction, particularly Dragula, if the mood takes you in that direction one day.
Absolute perfection punk/techno crossover, loved this when first released as a single in the UK in early '96. Now you NEED to react to the album "Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise" or at least the song "Close To The Edit" from '84, where the "Hey-Hey" sample come from.
Yes! Camilla Pilkington-Smyth. One of the best samples ever. Millions of years ahead of their time, the stuff the Art of Noise and the Buggles etc. were doing back in the early 80s.
@@piershollott339 just checked it out; cool stuff, thanks for the sample tip! It sounds as dated as can be though. It’s got all the eighties sounds that , thank god, are now completely obsolete.
Hi Justin , this song still sounds fresh and it still rocks !!!!, it was a huge hit and the Prodigy were a major crossover band , that had mainstream success and underground respect , rip Keith flint.
I was 11 or 12 when this came out and they pretty much immediately became my favourite band. I still sometimes listen to them and it's help up well enough, but can you imagine how cool that shit sounds like when you're 12?
Since we arrived at 90s electronic music, I´d highly appreciate a reaction to "Faithless - Insomnia" :) Another one of my favorite electronic tracks is "Chicane - Saltwater". The song can be assigned to the music genre "trance", a subgenre of electronic music, my favorite type of electronic music to be exact. In my opinion, this track is one of the most iconic trance songs of all time. Most trance songs have different versions, often a "radio edit" to make them more radio friendly. However, with "Saltwater" I highly recommend the almost 10 minute long original version, which is not unusual for trance songs to have.
Joking aside, The Prodigy actually have a track called Gabba, but it was only a fun live track that never had a studio version. Their performance of this track in the Phoenix 1996 festival is worth a watch. For that matter, they also have a live track called Rock 'n' Roll, which is even more fun and I would recommend the Athens 1995 performance of it. They also have a studio track called Goa, which is a remix of another track of theirs, so they like to name tracks after music genres.
This whole album is 🔥🔥🔥! With this song in particular I love how they sample and give a nod to one of the pioneers of electronic music, The Art of Noise.
The album of my childhood hahahaha. Barely listzen to anything like this anymore, but this was a nostalgia blast. Breathe is another cool song from the same album.
Love hearing different genres! Love and Rockets, Chemical Brothers, Ben Folds Five, Jayhawks debut, Marillion (Clutching at Straws) … there’s more stuff out there to be had!
Banging away on my bed rail, if I had a decent sound system here, maybe I could get the whole ward up and moving! My sons abused the hell out of their mother with their music, but techno she liked! So for our home in the '90s-2015, this was peaceful music! Plus when they were enjoying stuff they could blast and not get static from mom, they also did their chores quicker with more care! Win-win!!! Peace.
Keith Flint was their prime vocalist, he died some years ago, from this album please check out 'Breathe' and 'Smack, My Bitch Up'. Their earlier album 'Music For a Jilted Generation' is excellent too, but is different. 🙂
This was number 1 in the UK. You must see the video if you haven't yet. Brilliant track, brilliant band. I know you're learning to love Sparks too so have a listen to their track 'Balls' and see how they might have beoen influenced by this track.
Remember well. Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Dust Brothers, PWEI hit big in '89 - there was a real vibe happening. This is when Raves were all the, er...rave in my city. I don't remember a great deal of them. Best of times. lol
This is one of the CDs I lost in my big housebreaking. I can't "hear" any of the music, but would recognize all of it. I'd say Ive gone a bit off it over the years, but also either my ears are failing, or there's something missing from this rip of the original. I don't know what, though. Still fun, but I don't think I'll go and replace it. What I should replace from around the same time is *Portishead - Dummy* ("trip hop" music; If you haven't heard it, I think you'll find it worthwhile exploring). Nice and sad (perhaps a bit beyond that, touching on depression and such things). Here's *Wandering Star* if you want a "preview". ua-cam.com/video/gEQNAZGoZrw/v-deo.html (and that also sounds like it's missing something - so maybe it's just the ears losing a few tracks? Shouldn't have played that guitar so loud. Marshall Amp. Close enough to kill. Neighbours on the other side of the hill could hear it when we made our terrible noise.)
This lot dominated UK clubs in the mid-late 90s. I was always lukewarm about them, as I was listening to more psychedelic stuff and also couldn't dance lol.
The whole album has held up very well. Originally, I only liked the three singles, but I don't skip over any tracks now. Best played loud! Smack My Bitch Up and Narayan my favorites. If you want to continue in your arson vein, try While the City Sleeps by MC 900 ft. Jesus.
@@SpuddySpud A Shamen album which would work great in this channel is Hempton Manor (CD insert was made out of hemp paper). For a standalone Shamen track my pick would be Re:Evolution with Terrance McKenna.
Kinda sounded like matrix? Funny thing is diesel power, from the fat of the land album was indeed in the first matrix film. The club scene near the beginning. 😁
Hi Justin. Someone gave me this album back in the day, since I liked this song off it. However, I found it too samey for my taste. Don't rule out some more drum and bass though because David Bowie's 1997 album "Earthling", is all about the drum and bass, only Bowie stylee!. Great album and if you want to dip your toe into these waters, why not try the first track, "Little Wonder". I'll take this opportunity to remind you of my request for the next Bowie album listen ,ie. "The Man Who Sold The World". Cheers!
Crystal Method, Fat Boy Slim, Propellerheads, Death in Vegas and Chemical Brothers are some others if you’re looking for more in this genre and time period.
Incredible album and band, the only group that came close to them in this genre is Chemical Brothers, who are also worth a reaction. Maybe Setting Sun or The Private Psychedelic Reel. If 90's is a thing now on the channel, something I feel like you'd have a good reaction to is Leave Them All Behind by Ride.
MFTJG is indeed one of the best albums ever made, but for me TFOTL is the best. @@linusfotograf I would say that Speedway is definitely filler material, or at least it's not up to par with the rest of the album. Also, The Heat is somewhat weaker, but still has it's good moments and is not as repetitive as Speedway.
Since you mentioned drum and bass, I figured I'd offer a correction since you're clearly a fellow subgenre nerd: The Prodigy is technically Big Beat, along with The Chemical Brothers and The Crystal Method. It's another breakbeat genre, though, so I'm not surprised you'd make that assumption.
Now would that be Stanley Clarke's album, School Days, and if not, it should be. JP, if you see this, that's an album deffo to go on the playlist imho. Jazz, rock, fusion at it's finest. And if you were to only play one track as a taster (though it's all great), make it the opener, and title track School Days, it's sublime, with bass par excellence...
@@jfergs.3302 I really like Stanley Clarke as well, but I need to get in a sort of Funk/Soul mood, but but Schooldays I meant the 2nd song on Gentle Giant's Three Friends, I love that song.
@@2407paul I thought you might re GG's Schooldays, great track. I'm sure JP will get there. I couldn't help myself using the reference to shoehorn a SC recommendation in :). `
So that type of genre called bid beat break beat. The first Prodigy album was a bit more rave with break beats. Charlie, Fire, Out of Space were big hits. Then we got Music for the Jilted Generation. Break and enter, voodoo people, no good, a bit more experimental then we went to Fat of the land and after that came nothing. Sorry big fan but you can't compare the quality of the first 3 albums to the rest. RIP Keith.
You might hear more electronica if you tried Bowie’s Earthling. I like it. Lil history: I worked with some young lads in another department, kind of a cross-training thing. This album I know they played a lot. Haven’t heard it since then, so it’ll be good to hear it again. Memories rushing of nerf basketball tournaments… goofin not working. Peace and Ed Music
@@CCDzine It was always The Prodigy. It was just during that era they had this logo which removed the "The" and made the "P" lowercase for visual purposes. They never changed the band name or anything.
I didn’t care for this one. Too much noise, too much production, not enough musicianship. I think I’m getting a headache. 🤕 I like 90’s music but not this.
I only knew The Prodigy by name but this is the first and last time I hear one of their stuff. Not my thing at all. I feel like I hear Bowie's drum'n'bass rantings on Earthling ! Not at all fond of electronica and jungle rhythms.
Classic shit, aged a lot better than other stuff from that time.
If you want more Prodigy bangers, check out Poison, Out Of Space and Jericho

Fantastic album. Would recommend checking out Breathe, Narayan and Smack My Bitch Up from it.
Climbatize 🤩😍
Breathe 🔥
The drum programming on this track is insanely good.
'Music For a Jilted Generation' is the fist in this genre you should listen to as an 'album listen'. It holds together in that way.
When in a club in nyc and song comes with and ask what play to this is always great to play
The Prodigy - mindfields was actually on the matrix

Art of Noise did it in 1984 with 'Close (to the Edit)' and no knock-off since can top it.
The "Hey Hey Hey" sample in this track is a sample from Art of Noise too if I recall?

Close. Actually it was a sped up version of “Funky Shit”.
Minefields from the same album was in The Matrix!
It also played during the club scene, as he was visualising this type of music.
I am not that much into dance music but I am happy for those who are.
Love this!
You must have heard Smack My Bitch Up before? If not you should, its an absolute banger and a classic.
Listening to this and watching the video is something you should do.

Did you ever listen to Propellerheads' Decksandrumsandrockandroll? Great album. It's a shame they only made one album.
I always assumed the ‘hey’ was sampled from Art of Noise’s Close to the Edit, which you should also check out, early electronica
You need to do Omen from Prodigy next as that one is one of my favorite. Also Jericho. . . an underappreciated gem.
I appreciate you hit them!

Music for the Jilted Generation is the album you should do. It’s not only for the dance floor; it’s very musical
I often wonder whether Keith got the idea for this song's title and lyrics from his surname. RIP - there's no firestarter without a Flint.
Video is a must. Audio only is just 40% of the experience. Watching Keith and the guys 60%.

Now you need to listen to the cover by Torre Florim.
I remember this playing a fair bit in the 1990s. It's fine. I prefer the version from a German sketch, "Gute Nacht Lied" though...
There aren't many tracks that are as emphatically on the 'One' as this.
The late Keith Flint.....sad what happened to him but this song is a classic! The Prodigy only had two good songs this one and of course "Breathe".
The one where Justin does stank face 😜
Now if you really want some Drum and Bass Try Goldie - Timeless full album
Drop everything and go listen to The Prodigy’s take on Art of Noise’s Instruments of Darkness.
