Traditionally, Prodigy songs haven't featured Keith or Maxim. It was only really Fat of the Land that they appeared on. Originally Maxim was their live MC and Keith was just a dancer!Quote:

This album won't excite people who only liked Prodigy for Fat of the Land.
originally yes, but on the jiltered generation and experience they were in there quite a bit, but after listening to maxims dirt chamber sessions then this, dirt chamber is the better of the two. Don't get me wrong its a good album but not as good as previous outings.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dirt Chamber Sessions is a mix CD...whereas this is an album.....

and if this thread is right maxim and keith have left the prodigy? knew about keith and leeroy leaving but thought maxim was still there?
not really concernedabout keith leaving cos he,s a nob and only the commercial fans bought into his carpsness.
Prodigys best tunes werent on any albums eg. we eat rythm and rythm of life
also the prodigy rox for live performances and now thats gone because they have no dancers and no mc. As soon as the commercialites get bored liam is gonna be in a world of ****e
Leroy left, Keith and Maxim are still in Prodigy.Quote:

Keith and Maxim don't appear on the album for whatever reason, but they'll still do the vocals live.
Yeah and from what ive heard keith is gonna do some kind of stuff on his own in future. Which can only be good really as he was punkin the band anyway.
Well, I love the album. Listened to it about 10 times over this weekend and still can't get enough! :D
Could've been so much better - the songs don't have enough variety in them... after a minute you've heard all you're going to hear. Spitfire is crackin' tho.
They're touring the uk later this year :confused:Quote:

This is a truly great album, it lives up to their past album "fat of the land" and a wee bit more, only just got it and listening to track 2 'girls' cracking album! more technoy than i woulldve thought it would eb from them but still class
the dirtchamber sessions still in my multi cd player. possibly the best mix album. Liam should have done a follow up. this was Liams chioce of choons, i think 'smack my bitch up' came from one of these samples .. as a follow on, Fatboy Slims, On the Dancefloor at the Boutique' was possibly made as a follow on, if you heard one, try the other !!
spitfire, well hard !
the 2nd track is very hiphop 87-88 era and you could hardly tell it from an original track from that generation. :rockon:
it might loose direction mid way though but it comes back strongly at the end, though i dont like the M,Jackson sampled tune near the end ..
personally i think this is the nuts, there is other good stuff around but thats no need to slate this exellent effort!
i would recommend !!
As a note - the Dirtchamber Sessions Part 1 was indeed a mix by Liam Howlett... it came about because he was invited to put together a mix for Mary Anne Hobbs on the Breeze Block show on Radio1. It was a feature she did once a week where she invited a famous music personality (or duo) to prepare a mix of the music that influenced them. She didn't care if they could mix or not (memories of Beth Orton's 1 hour mix :) ) and didn't care if the tunes were (ever) popular.
Liam prepared his mix before hand (as a few did to save blushes) but his excuse was that he would need help to bring all the records in, and that he used three decks :rockon:
The mix was such a success he decided to release it, but had to change about 8-10 tracks for licencing (e.g the opening track was The Beatles with Sgt Peppers over a Breakbeat) Still have a copy on MD somewhere - must dig it out and copy it to CD :)
The new Prodigy album is good, just not brilliant, like the new Faithless album, all very very good tracks, but nothing that stirs your soul... Girls is my fav :cool:
