Old Schools's Out For Summer!

• 16th June 2004

Liam Howlett lifts the lid on the long-awaited 'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned'...

Prodigy frontman LIAM HOWLETT has spoken about the band’s forthcoming album ‘ALWAYS OUTNUMBERED, NEVER OUTGUNNED’.

As previously reported, the album, which will be released on August 23, features collaborations with Liam and Noel Gallagher, who appear on ‘Shootdown’, actress Juliette Lewis, who provides vocals on ‘Hotride’, Kool Keith, Princess Superstar, and Twista.

“Juliette had so much vocal power, she tore the roof off,” Howlett explained. “It was shocking. I was standing at the desk, nodding at her through the glass, going, ‘Fuck, where did that voice come from?'”.

“The (album’s) title says it all about the music and band,” Howlett told MTV. “I wanted to make a record that was more old school, like our second album, (1994’s ‘Music for the Jilted Generation’) I wanted to make it sexier and go back to the beats.”

The first single from the album will be ‘Girls’, which Howlett describes as “dirty electro-punk with female vocals”.

Tracklisting for the album runs:

‘Spitfire’

‘Girls’

‘Memphis Bells’

‘Hotride’

‘Action Radar’

‘Medusa’s Path’
