The Prodigy Experience
Hello fello Fanboys, got a great article written up by Chris Swindells from Virtual Festivals website.
Great read about Experience and so on. Thanks to Michael Botzaropoulos for the heads-up via Fanboy Contact.
The rave scene was a rabid epidemic, running unabated and wild in the summer of 1991. This free party outbreak spread with a ferocity of typhoid fever, stretching from satellite sites around the capital, infecting crowds of 50,000 or more in one night.
Back then The Prodigy were a innocent, fresh-faced four-piece, their foray into the crossover ‘rave n rock’ sound – inspired by what key man Liam Howlett saw as the Rage Against The Machine live model – were still not visible on the horizon.
Whether Howlett’s vision or the rave came first, his debut album with The Prodigy would set the fundamental building blocks for the band’s sound: breakbeat hardcore, with slabs of techno, dub-reggae and the then emerging sound of drum and bass, which became the blueprint for more than two decades of musical reverence and electric, ear-splitting live shows.
