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...!

I don't believe it either, but my reasons aren't the track-titles first of all.

I don't get why anyone should have heard parts of the album without mentioning who he actually is, that he experiences such a treatment. Of course it might be a journalist that luckily got a chance (remember how they played the complete FOTL in a barn somewhere outside ...errrr... was it Braintree? Nevermind). It's good promotion, but therefore his writing style is somewhat unserious and not imformative enough. If he really heard about at least 4 tracks, he could (and would) write a whole lot more than that tad of a crap.

And of course the titles suck donkeyballs!
What the heck is 'Ultraviolet Dream'??
This might get a little too far, but as long as I can remember  Prodge, I never heard such a silly songname! And I can't believe - don't ask me why, can't explain it - that Liam would title a track like this.
Or 'Power Fuckup', sounds just dull.

Man, how happy I were, if the damn record would just be out soon, no further guessing and hoaxing and shitting and whatever.

[Arie]

I don't get why anyone should have heard parts of the album without mentioning who he actually is, that he experiences such a treatment.

That's why there are promotional items for instance. People who receive such an item would be able to listen to some if not all tracks. But such items have not been issued yet for any new material by the band and I know that for 100% sure.

Another chance would be then that this person has been to a so called launch party where they play some if not all tracks. But launch parties are never given very far in advance and by then most people have already seen pictures of the new release or have heard sound files already. Besided this, artists hardly ever release an album without giving out a single first. Thus such a launch party is not possible in my humble opinion either.

A third option would be that this person is friends or something with the artists themselves, has a friend working for the record company et cetera. In such a case he or she would be able to get to hear maybe some of the music in advance without having to hear it from a promotional copy which has been given out to the 'public' (only a selection of people). Again, this is very unlikely since such people never post things like these really. They would keep it a secret.

As a conclusion I can say that a lot of people thus far who read this specific message have said that it was probably a load of bull, a fraud, a fake, a silly rumour. This tracklisting is in my opinion still fake too. I've seen better hoaxes to be honest ;) Ah well, like I wrote before, it's good for a laugh! ;)

And the people who receive those, are they just 'people' or are they somehow predestinated to listen to the promo?
Are they contracted in a one-time-hearing?
In the first case it would be just silly. You easily give some mp3's away and spoil everything, and since XL got a little such careful about spoiling...
It's too twilighted if you ask me.

Well I believe it anyway  

[Acid_Twin]

actually, i believe it, i can believe a lot of the statments, plus the titles go well with the new army theme.

'Ultraviolet Dream' is a good title if u look deeply into it, it could mean the dream of world peace is transparent etc
world peace fitting in with the army theme.

maybe he didnt tell us that much about the songs he heard cos he was asked not to? who knows, but i have a feeling

- Acid

[Acid_Twin]

also, the into might go, they might use it to make a statment about war etc if there going for this army theme

i dunno, its a feeling :/

-cid

It is an obvious fake if you ask me. As I've always said, don't believe the hype. I know so many people who claimed certain things, but in the end they were always wrong.

If some respected fans state something, then I am more tend to believe what they say. People like the one who wrote this are total strangers. They state things, but have no proof. You have to believe such people on their word only.

Would you give the key to your house to a total stranger who tells you that he or she will not steal anything? You wouldn't and neither should you just believe everything strangers tell you.

In case of this tracklisting, where does this person has his or her information from? There is no mention of it which we could investigate/check. You only have this persons word. It all seems too unlikely. The titles, the whole story, but it's good for a laugh, it really is ;)

Not just a laugh about the story, but more a laugh about the person who wrote it. That person spent time on writing bull and what for? That is the most sad thing you could do and I feel sorry for that person really...

[Ekko]

Well, he's obviously hoping to earn credits. Or just to be looked up to, it's a simple pleasure.

I understand that most of you might believe it, it's neat.
And you can't really argue it down or show certain errors that would uncover a fake.
I just have a feeling about it wich is telling me: Nope, sir. Something's wrong.

I'm done with it now.

The original poster of the message has uploaded the first 55 seconds of No Souvenirs at http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/peteanddom ... so he says! A lot of people say this is a fake. For the moment I cannot judge myself since I get a 'Zero Sized Reply' back when trying to download the file... Anyway, some respected fans like Des told me it was a sad excuse for an Orbital - Satan cover, at least that's how it sounded to him. I hope that I can share in the laughter and listen to it later today still...! ;)

This posted by moderator over at the XL Board.

sorry all
as most of you guessed, the MP3 and track info on this thread is completely incorrect!

I've removed the link, mainly because there might be people that believe it actually is 'No Souvenirs', and its a tricky one - like a few of you have pointed out, if we do remove it, its like we're hiding something (we're not!) and if we don't then it doesn't look like we are, however, people might actually believe that this is the actual track.

So in the interests of some kind of in between, I've removed the link, but can reassure you that as soon as there is some news, it will be from an official source!

thanks all!
