I still have my cassette copy of that with an equally short album on the other side which slips my mind right now

[Wes]

There weren't too many... but with Reign in Blood the length was just right - that album is a landmark in extreme music (but I do prefer South of Heaven)

[Rik]

Yeah, I prefer South of Heaven too, it got slated for being too slow compared to its predecessor, but I prefer the more melodic stuff personally

I don't have any cassettes now, nor a machine on which to play them.

I'm currently listening to Music for the Jilted Generation, probably The Prodigy's most accomplished album, with a great variety of music.

[Wes]

The Prodigy are some kind of Goth Nu-Metal thing nowadays aren't they ? I saw one of the tunes on that free Metal channel on Sky and it was pretty terrible. This is The Prodigy I remember...

[Rik]

I saw them at V97 festival in Leeds and they were amazing, one of the best bands I've seen live and I spent the majority of the 2 hour set on my mates shoulders, something he regretted in the morning!

[Wes]

Yeah, I saw 'em in '95-ish supporting Oasis and they blew them off the stage. A great live act...

I think one of my mates saw them on that tour, which is why he watched whatever band were on the second stage instead of the Prodigy that night, missed a treat though. People were getting crushed at the front so they stopped the show and made everyone move back and when they turned the big searchlights on, I had an amazing view from my elevated position at a massive sea of people all going nuts!

Ben Folds Five + great song + Fraggle Rock + the beautiful Anna Kendrick =

I've seen them three times – all in the Newcastle Arena – and they were brilliant on each occasion.

I like each and every album they've made, from Experience to Invaders Must Die, but this one is still my favourite.









Actually, after listening to so many tracks, Liam Howlett is a pretty good drummer!
