Hi fellow prodigy fans!

I was just looking round on Ebay when i found somebody selling 9 prodigy singles, one of which was a cd called Wind it up - The US remixes . There is a picture of it and everything. Is it official? Is it new?

We'll all know how rare the Elektra 7 track version was!

Peas, Phil

Also, He he he, does anyone know where i can download a good quality version of 'Baby's Got A Temper'? I wanna hear it so i can give my opinion.

When the new album is done the promos will soon find there way onto the net. I have promised myself not to download them. Takes the fun out of it don't ya think?

r u part of the prodigy or sumthing wolf eater
or do u just care a lot for them?

Ps: what is the general view on mp3's here
Is it wrong do u think?
i don't really do it but i don't think it is bad if  i download live recordings and stuff. I'm still going to buy the album

[philchill]

I Won't!   Anyway, Back to the point, does anybody know anything about this cd. It looks just like the UK version of wind it up but the colours are different. The background is purple and the picture of the EQ thig is green. I'll put a picture on this link asap:

It is being sold by somebody in Germany so maybe it was released there. Anyone got any ideas

I thought about it, it would depend on the time between the first appearances and the final album release. If it would be less than a month, I'd be in (I promise!). Because nothing beats the feeling of coming home from the city with a new record of your favourite band... I'll never forget the feeling when I first inserted the FOTL into the disc muncher, laid back
just to get totally punched in the stomach a few seconds later. I'm not a bitch, but I got smacked up quite massive.
I don't wanna ruin that and I hope there WON'T ever be any promo stuff on the net! Wishful thinking..

I think BGAT should still be d/l-able at www.brainkiller.it

[philchill]

My opinion on mp3s - Live recordings are cool to download, so is the occasional track so you can get an idea of a band. I'd only download a full album if it was by someone i wanted to piss off like Nickleback.  

And i agree, BGAT should be put back on brainkiller.it or even on this site. Reply if you want the mp3 back!!!!

Peace

I download many many mp3s, infact over 5 gigs worth during this easter holiday (I'm home from uni, my Dad has a cable modem plus a CD writer, what can I say?). I think that the mp3 market is good for the music industry, and here's why:
I use the internet as a means for exploring the music world and experiencing all it has to offer. My downloads in the past week include Xen Cuts by Ninja Tunes, two Amon Tobin albums, an Ayumi Hamasaki album, a Nightmares on Wax album, and a Herbaliser album. I have never been exposed to any of these artists through the common media; I have never heard Amon Tobin on the radio or seen Nightmares on Wax on TV. The only way I get to experience them is thorugh the internet and MP3.
Yesterday I placed a

Although the major labels complain about the internet as a tool to get music for free, it still is nothing new.
Do you remember this 'Home taping kills music' -campaign?
At first there were magnetic tapes, then the normal tapes, then we saw CD-R & MD, now we have mp3, and everytime the music industry was wailing about them being tricked out and skipped, moneywise.
Did it collapse though? Nope.
Although it looks weak sometimes.

I don't have anything against people who d/l Britney and her lads, because all the majors deserve it in a certain way [look at how they treated the overground music scene, especially at the early 90's] and also - she sucks anyway.

I'm sure you do a good thing to the smaller labels (although Ninja Tune is quite a big one out of the smaller, freaky UK-labels), but that's only you by now. Although you said most people who d/l but don't buy music are pop-listeners there are still enough people d/ling music published by smaller labels.
This is easily backed up by the fact that only 40% of the records being sold are published by one of the 5 major labels.
Of course those numbers are different when speaking about the internet, but even if 70% of all d/l's had a major as a source it's enough to maybe ruin many of the other 30%.
Unfortunately there is no certain way of doing a proper d/l-research, so one can only guess.

Also important to know is, that many of the smaller labels (also at least one of the ones you spoke of) are built up by a major label. Majors are not silly, you know, they seem very dull most of the time, but they know exactly that they can't stay upper class with just pop music. So they buy small 'underground'-labels or build some up by themselves (V2 (Warner) is one of the most impressive examples, unfortunately they started to feature more & more pop artists a while ago).
If mankind should really ruin a major one day (doubt that), they also ruin lots of cool scene-labels.

And no, it definitly does NOT give smaller artists a better chance. It might not ruin them from the start, but it does not increase anything for them. mp3-portals are flooded with shitty music and don't belive that the A&R's really have a single look at those sites, they don't give a shite.


So I'd say that YOU might do a good job to the scene (so do I), but I don't share your thought about the mp3 market being good for the industry.


Oh, and Robbie writes own tracks as well, he is a good singer and performer and yes, he is a stupid moron who whores around the world without any kind of plan.
He's like a misled artist who is capable of even more.
Tempted by the dark side of the force.
But I agree about what you think of pop music.
I always hated it and if I'd ever catch myself listening to any kind of chart-able music, I'd immediately bite on that capsule in my mouth.

Greetings, Ekko

To answer the question, this single is the Intercord version of the USA release simply said. It features four versions of Wind It Up, but lacks the Bonus Beats version. It comes in a slimline jewelcase. There is another one which you forgot to mention even, and that is the 7-track on Polydor. It features the same tracks as the USA release, but doesn't come in a digipak, but in a slimline jewelcase.

[kenzie]

at how they treated the overground music scene, especially

you don't really get a word OVERGROUND or do you EKko?

and what does A&R stand for?
what do these geezers do?

AND another thing ...don't know if you know this already but someone e-mailed me the link:
