TDS: I like it a lot, although it's been made with samplers and got set up on a HD, it is kinda Prodigy-work. It isn't too far away from the stuff Liam is doing usually. He cutted and mixed, re-repoduced and edited it with the PC.
But it really isn't a clean 'DJ-album'...
I give it a 9 out of 10 for all the trixx and the kool, old vibe

I think he only speaks like this once in a while (or only on concerts), since he sounds very common in usual interviews.

Bah.

How could this track be airplayed? It sounds like taking three, maybe four songs, looping certain parts of and just pasting it together. It not only sounds like this, I'm pretty sure they didn't spend more than 3 hours on that one.

I didn't know radiostations play such (-in the first line technically) bad songs. Sounds like they didn't even try to mix it and from time to time there are small breakouts between the loops.
Silly samples too 'Power up and burn'. Out of my ears, dogpile!

With this track downfall of humanity has appeared, eventually evacuate the planet

Okay, I'll send you some

Or hey, Spaceboy, was that a question if anyone 'Want to have them' or you 'want to have some from anyone' ?

If the first is the case, I'm totally in.
If not, I'm too

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah, man, you have NO idea how much I was seeking for those...

The only one's I've got are the one from the TFOTL-Book and the coop with 3D and one where Liam is doing some commercial for the Korg Prophecy. I think. Maybe there are two or three more, but they all are not showing very much of the Dirtchamber, so if ANYONE HAS PIC's, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! (Arie...??? *blink blink* Can you help us out...?)

My, that topic exhausted me.

And Leeroy came back to the band, but he's gotta take some dancing-lessons, cause he's way out of form
(fat, bad condition)

Great is Baby D, Acen, Genaside II and just all the breakbeat-stuff from that period was outstanding
Anyone know a good website for this oldschool stuff?

I loved the last Crystal Method Album, it's so good. It's like you're running over a field of eggshells, you know -crunchy!

The last Orbital is indeed very silly, but I heard that they are a little unpleased by life atm. One of the guys wife had a miscarriage and they all are a little stressed.

But I get your point what_evil_lurks.
You are so right, I'm really a bit depressed about all the lost artists. I also miss the Propheads very much. Maybe they are just preparing a new record. And I miss the old Chems and the old Fatboy. Sigh. But we had that already.

Later,
bye

02. Ekko, why do you compare them to non-electronic rock bands? Thats a whole new teritory, dont you agree? Electronic music as such (i.e. prodigy) cannot go for a long time or turn into mainstream (yes it can (this is my alter ego)). I think that this will be their last album (dont get me wrong, I really do want another one but it's more likely this will be their last)

I'm not comparing. I just said that a great band (-whatever style it is, it does not matter,) is mostly  
not getting worse without any reason.

Oh, I think Prodigy did turn a little bit into mainstream, but as Liam said: It's the best to retreat after having a huge tune out there. But of course they are everything but
mainstream atm.
I find that Fatboy Slim turned very much into the chart-area at least. He was giving out singles without stopping. He didn't had to do it.

I too think it will be their last album. They also stated that, btw. But you know that you can't rely on theri statements...
Liam said he'd like to go into film-scoring after Prodge, I think that's a very good idea. Looking forward to that.

03. Or better yet, Ekko, you know what? Fuck all that I just wrote, the new album's gonna be a big bloody miracle and we'll have champaigne when it comes out

Yeah, of course I respect your opinion, but I wonder what makes you think The Prodge is over? Why should 5 years be too much, look at the Rolling Stones or Biohazard or Herbie Hancock or whatever, they all were / are great bands with much influence on other bands and peoples. They've been present for so long, because they broke new grounds and mostly did great new albums after those that've been before.

I think I understand what you mean & feel about the new album.
We all have doubts, but why? Really, everyone's mad about it, but what exactly makes us being uncertain about it? Just because of the long time they need?
Or maybe because they did so great work untill now, that it can't be topped?
People like them can always top themselves.
Or do we fear a change of style?
I dunno, but I'm in a good mood, I don't see any bad signs or something.

Greets,
Ekko

and music (i'm afraid) is so far from the prodigy right now.

What the heck is *that* supposed to mean? Why should it be away from Prodge?
What else should they be doing? Noise?
Or comedy? I'd say music was never more near, since the guys are much more involved into it by now (reputation, experience, new live shows, everything's waiting for them).

Greets,
Ekko

Haehaehae and it's all good!












Thanx for the good vibe

Might be, but I believe the version he told us - that he was just too tired to go on, it must have been terribly exhausting.
Don't forget that he was having weed all time. I somewhere read, that he needed at least one giant spliff before he could go to bed.

Someone has to back me up here, I only know that he studied Graphic Design and worked in a T-shirt factory later on.
He also had a job at a construction site which paid him his first equipment.
And, of course, he DJ'ed a lot
