This band were the antidote to the raved up and acid house hungry audience of the 1990’s. Their performance in Red Square is now taken a legendary position in the realm of live performances. This is exhibited perfectly with their performances in Moscow and Glastonbury. This is as dark as it comes, you think you have seen grunge before? Think again.įor much of the 1990’s The Prodigy were considered to be the largest and loudest live band on the planet. Keith’s wild and spikey hair is now legendary, his body convulsions mesmerizing. The video to accompany the song is like a visual representation of paranoia, the characters convulsing, representing characters more associated with Dante’s Inferno rather than a British band. The bass levels of my speakers are very well tested once this song arrives, it has been known to blow speaker systems during performances, the bass is that harsh. “Breathe with me” Breathe, is a timeless classic. Jump down into a deeper and disturbing land. Go darker, introduce that grunge range and showcase just how versatile your music can be. It’s harsh, grimy and has a ridiculous level of bass. I own this album on vinyl and quite often find myself stopping after this track, lifting the needle and starting the whole thing again, the song is just that damn good. “Change my picture, smack my bitch up!” Smack my bitch up. How do you kick off and album that will define a generation? The Prodigy- Liam Howlett, Keith Flint, Maxim They gave the rave scene a darker edge, a polymerization between two genres, a combination of grunge and rave, it worked perfectly. Their album, Music For The Jilted Generation, gave them their initial platform to showcase this.

The hottest acts in the world are from the universe of grunge and dance music.
