Were the 90's really that long ago? Man it does seem like a long time ago when Prodigy put out The Fat of the Land. You know that album released 10 years ago with the tracks "Breathe," "Firestarter," and "Smack My Bitch Up." Sadly those songs have turned into what I call sports techno, or songs that you are likely to hear over and over at a baseball or hockey game. Those songs are out of style just as bad as the haircut the main guy from the group had. Well today while listening to my ipod on shuffle "Out of Space" by the Prodigy came on and really hit the spot. It made me remember that Prodigy has more to offer than just music to play while the team is introduced. I think Amazon's review describes the album fittingly as , " an album even the technophobic couldn't ignore, The Fat of the Land made Prodigy one of the first U.K. rave acts to infiltrate pop culture." It then goes on to describe the controversy that surrounded "Smack My Bitch Up" that gave the album much of its attention. Geez how the world has changed then. Luckily Prodigy has other tracks, mainly from their other two albums, that us folks in the electronic community can remember than by. Some of my favorite tracks are "Out of Space," "Girls," "Everybody in the Right Place," "One Love," and the tribal vocal breakdown of "Narayan."Most of their tracks have an older and harder rave feel to them, but whose to say we don't crave that every now and then. Peace & Beats

Haha and what is that haircut without an awesome sweater and dance moves to go with it.
Enough hating time to give them so cred
