The Prodigy - No Good (Start the Dance)

So NME put together another top list. This time, the 100 best tracks of the nineties.

Somewhat disappointed that only one Prodigy track made the list. Also, usually in these types of lists, Firestarter seems to always make it. However it was actually No Good (Start the Dance) which made #33. In my opinion, Smack My Bitch Up should have been #1 ;)

Anyhow, this is what they had to say for The Prodigys No Good (Start the Dance) at #33:

Legend has it that Liam Howlett ummed-and-ahhed over his decision to release ‘No Good (Start The Dance’), fretting over whether the sample – a hyper, sped-up version of Kelly Charles’ vocal from her 80s hit ‘You’re No Good For Me’ – was too much like pop-froth. Thank heavens he went through with it, then, and birthed one of The Prodigy’s finest singles with its scuzzy euphoria and thumping bass.

The Prodigy Experience

The Prodigy’s first LP, Experience, hit shelves on XL in the centre of the rave scene that spawned the label. It was a triumph, with singles such as Charly, Out Of Space and Everybody In The Place beginning to trouble the mainstream. But the group’s second effort was a more driven, aggressive beast.

Music For The Jilted Generation railed against the corporate mutation of the rave movement. It turned the scene on its head, and became both Howlett and XL’s first mega-hit.

Paul Dugdale

G’day all. You know our man Paul Dugdale, the guy who won Best Live Coverage for The Prodigys gig at Milton Keynes. And in my opinion, the only guy who has best captured that Prodigy Vibe on film.

Just going to share two videos with you all today. The first is Pauls Showreel Spring 2012 clip. Which obviously includes The Prodigy. The second video is the hidden video in the Milton Keynes DVD, Mescaline Corridor Film. Enjoy!

Plan B

UPDATE: You can now listen to the remix here.

Original Post: Plan B or Ben Drew, is a British rapper who is releasing an EP with a track called ill Manors with expected release date of 25th of March.

The EP includes The Prodigy Remix. Liam had been quite busy with the remixes lately!

No preview is available at the moment. However you can checkout the iTunes page here. Also, learn more about Plan B here.

Makes me wonder far into the boys are in the new record. Cannot wait until Download! Still expecting a AONO Part 2 for some reason, which is a good thing. AONO with Keith and Maxim? Hell yeah!

Thanks goes out to Andrea Prodigy for the heads-up via Fanboy Facebook.

Invaders Must Die

Now here is a track written during the Invaders Era with rapper Wiley.

However it got shelved as the boys wanted a band album. Read about that here.

Have a listen to the track here. Let us know what you think via comments or Facebook/Twitter.

In my opinion. I’m glad it didn’t make the Invaders LP. I don’t like the rapping.. Not to keep on the music as well. Doesn’t seem to have that Invaders vibe/sound that the album has. Maybe if we had an instrumental, might change my mind..

Had a lot of fans send this news in. Thanks! Credit goes out to Kubazz from the Brainkiller Crew, awesome job!
