Conversation to date:
Danny Fanboy:
Ok guys. I’ll be putting this one up on the site after some time.
So, for me. This is actually a really easy one. I would pull out Full Throttle. Never been a fan of this track. When I listen to the album in full, I hate coming by Full Throttle and sometimes skip it. So I would pull this out.
I would also have the full version of One Love. Then in the spot of Full Throttle. I would add Rhythm of Life followed by Rock n’ Roll Athens (95? I think).
Everything else can stay the same.
What do you all think? Is it perfect the way it is? Would you change anything?
NoisyFella:
Well, being the jilted fan this is kinda a hard but i’ll give it a try, so let’s see. I like Full Throttle but it has no place on the album, also Speedway, i’d rather put them on some of the singles, also i’d made Break and Enter a little bit shorter and insert We Eat Rhythm and Rhythm of Life on the album, everything else is perfect as it is.
fan_of_creativity:
I would definitely remove Speedway .For me Experience is the best but I listen to the jilted quite often and this is the only track which really annoys me. I think it could be replaced by Scienide.
At first I wasn’t a fan of full throttle , but now I find it intresting :)
Gonga21:
I’ve got to admit that your anwsers are surprising me. I love every inch of this album! If i could make any change it would be increasing the album length (if it were possible) in order to have RoL, We eat rhythm, One Love (original) and possibly other live only tracks from that era.
KurtHectic:
Jilted is the best prodigy album.. definitely in my top 5 favourite albums all time. For what it is technically and what it does musically. The tracks are long and epic, something modern day prodigy is missing. it’s just a creative masterpiece!
but apparently Liam wanted to do even more with it! I wouldn’t remove any track from the album. i would add the tracks liam wanted to add, but couldn’t because of CD limits
Danny Fanboy:
Oh yeah man, Jilted is my favourite album of all time.
NoisyFella & fan_of_creativity: Both agree to remove Speedway. I can understand that. But I don’t mind the tracks. It fits into the Jilted sound n’ all.
Full Throttle is indeed interesting. But I just feel it was slapped onto the album. Doesn’t the track use a sample of some scary movie or something? I feel like Liam slapped it onto the album because he had sampled a movie or something… I remember Liam saying in an interview, that he might have not put it on the album now looking back, or something like that.
Forgot about We Eat Rhythm! Include that one too :)
Gonga21 & KurtHectic: Oh yeah! If we could increase the album length. That would be awesome. I’d still remove Full Throttle tho :P Haha. What could have been even better. If the album was a double CD release. Imagine this, RoL, WER & all the live tracks from Jilted era!
Tracks from Jilted are indeed definitely long and epic which the album and tracks so great! It’s missing in modern day Prodigy. However I think another album just like Jilted might not work in this era. It’s something that would have only worked at the time. Times have changed and I feel like the boys have as well. Moving with the times you know.
Gonga21:
Full Throttle has a starwars sample, The Heat has a sample taken from the film Poltergeist III. Speedway (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b28WgRfDhKQ). Skylined has a sample taken from the X-Files.
Danny Fanboy:
Ahh! No wonder I don’t know the sample. I’ve never seen Starwars. Well, that makes me think it’s definitely that Full Throttle is on the album for the Starwars sample alone then. Nothing else.
Gonga21:
The sample is “We are going at full throttle” but in the album version the sample is reversed.
KurtHectic:
yeah here’s the original mix with the non-reversed starwars sample http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgX7ETsp8hk
i fucking love full throttle, the hollow bass that kicks in at 1:46 makes the track. that kind of bass sound wasn’t really used a lot until the late 90’s uk garage scene, and Wiley’s eskimo sound in early 00’s
GL0WKiD:
It’s a bit lets say ‘rude’ to change Jilted stuff on maybe prodigy’s no.1 album ever (in my opinion)
The main thing on this LP is the awesome row in the tracklist & the variety of different kinds of quality tunes!
Class productions & amazing work by talented LH these ‘after rave yrs’
Luv it (as u can see :P )
