I have read this on several boards including the Beggars one. It is made by a person who claims that what is quoted below is the tracklisting of the new Prodigy album. Below the quote you will find some comments by me.

Liams just finished up sorting out the structure of the album, got the track listing, although this might be played around with a lot and added to as the album is not being released until June.

Track1: Intro
Track2: Two Time your Face
Track3: No Souvenirs
Track4: Push
Track5: New Grounds
Track6: Trigger
Track7: Ultraviolet Dream
Track8: Power Fuckup
Track9: The Black Art
Track10: Fire the Blood
Track11: Gunning the Numbers

Intended Singles:
New Grounds - Easter 2002
No Souvenirs - May/June 2002

I've only heard 5 of the tracks, no souvenirs which is a fantastic calobration with 3d, New Grounds, which is intended to be there main single, and i'd just like to say, this really does woop some ass... reminiscent on poison in someways, that kind of pressure to it. This songs probably going to be released around easter. Trigger i've heard, as im sure many of you have from the concerts they played a few months back, but this is very different from the concert version, brings out more of the piano at the beggining, and just keeps on whacking up and up. If you needed a comparison, Trigger is similar to Climatize, there aren't any lyrics to this song either. For all you lovers of songs like thier law, you'll love "Two time your face" in my opinion it knocks the socks off their law though, and you would never think you could do some of those things with a guitar. I've also heard the main part of The Black Art, this is a really smooth song from what i've heard, well at least on liams scale, so kinda gentle like 3 kilos. So there ya go, theres a bitta info for u, if you dont wanna believe me then don't, but you can just wait and find out in June.

For the moment there hasn't been any official confirmation or denial. Personally I think that this is just another hoax. The reason for this is mostly the titles of the different tracks. I will explain myself below.

01 Intro
The same as on Music For The Jilted Generation. Of course The Prodigy can do another intro on the next album, but I don't find this likely to believe.


02 Two Time your Face
Wasn't there a tune called Disco To Face on the fake Castbreeder album?


03 No Souvenirs
This title has been known for ages, so it would be an obvious title to mention in the tracklisting.


04 Push
Push Upstairs by Underworld. Of course, if you start comparing titles you can always find other artists in any genre who have tunes which have simular titles to Prodigy tracks, still I found this one a bit... Hard to explain... Underworld are often put in the same 'group' as The Prodigy, so the title seemed unlikely to me. Not much for an explanation, no? ;)


05 New Grounds
Possible, possible... Just like all other titles this title could be possible. A new album, many hope for a new 'style' of music => New Grounds sounds again a bit too obvious as a title, it sounds again too fake in my humble opinion.


06 Trigger
Played live, see my comment at No Souvenirs. But why isn't Nuclear on the new album? It might be a live only track... but the title has already been given out. Possible, possible...


07 Ultraviolet Dream
Another possible candidate for a title...


08 Power Fuckup
Very, very bad title. Take the power cut at Lowlands...! Sounds fake again in my humble opinion.


09 The Black Art
Possible again...


10 Fire the Blood
First Fire, then Fuel My Fire... Doesn't sound likely again in humble my opinion.


11 Gunning the Numbers
Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned... Gunning The Numbers... Sounds fake again I think. It sounds too much like the working title of the new album if you ask me.

For now I should go back to work. I will post this on other web sites too. Like I always say "Don't believe the hype!", do research before believing rumours! Personally I don't believe this at all, but it's good for a laugh if you ask me ;) But some people really believe all this straight...!

The Ant logo had a deeper meaning, I like that a lot about it. As for the new logo(s), they look nice, but I haven't really found a deeper meaning in it yet. But of course there doesn't have to be a deeper meaning behind everything. I like both logos, but I think I still prefer the Ant logo...

I agree Ekko, but people can change.

I would like to become a moderator for this forum, or at least for some sections which have to do with collecting by the way. Jussi, is that an idea? If you don't like it, then say so and it's fine too.

Arie, you are so fuckin lovely ;-)

Too bad you're male and too bad I'm already taken... ;p
And I am adorable indeed, aren't I? ;)

Don't take it too hard mate, no one means it bad with you. Everyone on this board is a fan in their own way. No one meant to make you feel bad or insulted. I for instance did not mean it bad with you and I would like to say welcome to this board!

I think that what made people react this way is because it is fairly easy to see The Prodigy 'live'. You can find various sources to see and hear them like on Electronic Punks. Your first posting was the kind you would expect of someone who has never seen or heard any live recording.

Postings like 'The Prodigy are the best band in the world!' are useless to be honest. This board is dedicated to The Prodigy, all people on this forum are fans, so we already know that. Stating that their gigs are nice is a common fact; if someone reads that on this board then they think it's the same as writing 'The sky is blue' - it's more than obvious.

This board is not about who knows more than who, we're all fans in our own way. You state that you know quite a lot which is good. It's always nice to have such people here. Everyone on this board has their own opinion about things, I try to respect that and I hope that everyone who reads this posting does the same. Also, there's quite some people here who know a lot, lets not argue, but discuss instead.

But like I wrote above, no one means it bad with you. Sarcastic remarks is something you can expect to every posting you make, it is a way of humor. If I offended you then sorry, I didn't mean to. You're more than welcome here I can assure you. Don't take things too bad. We're all fans. Please register and I hope to see more of your postings around!

Cheers,

In CD-land

Even if you've lived there then you can still find bootlegs.

Seen them live twice here in The Netherlands. Quite good shows although I prefered the first one over the last one. I don't quite understand your reaction. I've heard Prodigy live I-don't-know-how-many-times. There are plenty of live bootlegs around. I've seen quite some videos as well with an overall okay quality. You sound like you never heard a live tune before. Where have you been for the past ten years? ;)

Since it is confirmed that Trigger and Nuclear will be on the new album ( it was said on finnish radio station Radio Mafia one day), i'm afraid that it's gonna be too much like Fat Of the Land.

This is not confirmed in any way. Radio stations state such things constantly. They also stated that Britney Spears died in a plane crash recently (I wish it was true ;p). They also stated that The Prodigy would not attend to both Lowlands as Pukkelpop.

What you hear on the radio, what you see on television, what you hear from friends - do not believe it untill it is confirmed by organizations like XL-Recordings, Beggars Banquet, Midi Management, et cetera. Do not believe the hype, do not help in spreading rumours - thank you.

There are so many whitelabels of What Evil Lurks going round that it wouldn't make such a difference if they would re-release it. Thing is that now you can still see the difference between an original and a whitelabel. Maybe if XL-Recordings would start to re-issue items like they have done before, then the border between original and re-release will fade away and that would be a shame I think.

Thus far I've found two different whitelabels of What Evil Lurks. One is an obvious fake, the other is more hard to discover, but if you know what to look for it's fine. All the people I know have only reported these same two whitelabels going round, so it seems like these really are the only two fakes for now. The quality is less than the original, but for some fans it might be a good thing that they do exist.

There is also still the book Music For The Voodoo Crew... or is it Voodoo People? I always mix those two up by heart. Included with the book is What Evil Lurks on CD. The quality is the most poor recording I've ever heard, but it's also a good way for some fans to obtain these tracks. Only with the first releases of the book you could get the CD. XL-Recordings made a fuss about it since the CD was a bootleg and the makers had to remove the CD from the package.

But What Evil Lurks isn't they only record to be bootlegged. Charly has been released on whitelabel as well. I found out by accident myself. A friend said he stocked Charly again, so I checked it out. The record was in a black sleeve, but that doesn't say it all of course. Looking at the catalogue numbers it was clear that it was a whitelabel.

Just some What Evil Lurks history for the ones interested ;)

They were thinking about giving re-issues away of What Evil Lurks with some copies of Music For The Jilted Generation, but for as far as I know they never did. I don't know why really they were planning on doing that since it doesn't sound great to me. But in the end I don't think that they ever did since I never heard about it anymore. I think they just canned the idea. Maybe with the next album although I really, really, really doubt it.

Liam Howlett has two MacBooks on stage and I have even seen him with three MacBooks in case one of them stops functioning. All run Ableton Live for as far as I know and most likely Reason as well. I'm not a "gearhead" unfortunately, so there isn't much more that I can say about it. I suggest that you ask at Brainkiller.it for instance where there is a more active community of users and where there are more people with knowledge about the equipment which is being used at the moment. Hope this helps.

Cheers! :)

I suggest pointing your browser to http://www.brainkiller.it. You can download various live shows from there. See you around :)

He re-did parts of the Reason mix later on again. I think he used Reason more as a sketch book. Reason is basically a sequencer, what has therefore changed with how he wrote music in the past? Nothing I believe, therfore I also don't believe that he will be limited in anything live.

I'm going too if I can still get two tickets tomorrow afternoon. Wasn't going to show up, but now I will. I will be meeting up with some people there already, also with Neko. Might see some of you there. Miwant and Mouzzer, I will send you both a PM with my phone number so we can meet.
