    Keith Flint was a very intelligent, astute, articulate and above all down to earth guy - apart from all his huge creative abilities. RIP Keith - sorry you left us.

      dave berry - I knew some people who him ‘back in the day’, and the phrase ‘a really nice guy’ was said many times. It was a testament to his character he never became arrogant or precious.

    I get so painfully said when I hear that people have taken their own lives. We just never know what others are going through.

    Started listening to the prodigy because of my parents, mainly my mum when I was about 5 years old.
    I’m 27 now and still hooked. My mum was devastated when Keith took his own life. And I always said that once I’ve earnt enough money I would buy her and myself and ticket and see the prodigy in concert live that’s always what wanted to do: it’s one of them life goes on! And Keith was the most amazing musician and he’s given me so many memories with my parents I will never forget because of his music with the prodigy.

What some people don’t know is that Keith was a truly nice, gentle and polite human being. His stage persona was unique because he channeled his aggression and passion and let all out on stage. He is one of the true greats ... RIP Keith Flint

In 95 one night my cousin who was a few years older drove me to practice and was playing ultrasonic obsession in his car. I just feel in love I called him the next day and begged him for the tape so he recoreded the tape and gave it to me. I listened to that tape on my walkman over 1000 times in 96 at the age of 13 attended my first rave. I remember being in line in front a warehouse hearing the music thumping as I walked in felt i like in was in wonderland. My music tastes went from hardcore to pure techno and haven't changed since. Rave scene for me was freedom. At 36 my career/life/ kid is in full effect but after a stressful week i love nothing more than play some techno close my eyes and teleport myself to a warehouse.
    Rave scene at it's peak was incredible and I'm grateful that I experanced it.

They weren't playing The Prodigy, Acen, Ellis Dee, E-Type, etc on the radio. SL2 maybe a little, but let's all be honest, On a Ragga Tip was a shit song none of us ever looked forward to hearing at a rave.

Never any fighting or violence. Just pure happiness. Come 2018: The raves are gone, the magic is gone, and well, MTV isn't MTV anymore.
