💬 Liam Howlett:

“I was feeling free — free of the rave BPMs, and feeling slightly rebellious against it. Rave had turned into something that we didn’t like.”

Numbers that speak for themselves:

🇬🇧 UK Albums Chart — #1

🏆 Double Platinum in the UK (600,000+ copies sold)

🌍 Global sales exceeded 2 million copies

🏅 Nominated for both the Mercury Prize and a Brit Award

I just bought this bootleg vinyl, and I have absolutely no idea what it is. It's the first time I've ever seen it. It's not even listed on Discogs, and I can't find it anywhere else, including on eBay. I'm still waiting for it to arrive. Does anyone already have this record or know anything about it? I absolutely love the cover artwork.

I wonder if they got his families permission.

Edit: for clarity - this is a music video by a Russian musician/band that features an AI depiction of Keith Flint. Don't click on it if this kind of thing isn't for you. To be honest, I might remove the link entirely as the more I sit with it, the less I am ok with it.

Here's my The Prodigy collection. Obviously, I'm still missing a lot of items. I just received the Spitfire vinyl, and my next goals are to find Scienide on vinyl and the Wind It Up remixes in excellent condition. I never buy anything below Very Good Plus (VG+).

Later on, I'll start collecting the cassette singles, but only after I've completed my CD collection. Most of the cassettes come from Poland and usually cost between €30 and €40.

My priority is to complete the vinyl collection first, then the CDs, and finally the cassettes. I've still got a long way to go.

I did my best to organize my entire The Prodigy collection, from the earliest releases to the most recent ones.

We live for the beats ! 🐜

On this day, 24 years ago, The Prodigy the single "Baby's Got A Temper" was released.

"Baby's Got a Temper" is released as a non-album single in July, 1 2002 by record labels XL and Maverick. It was the band's first single in five years, following "Smack My Bitch Up" in 1997 and also their first release after dancer Leeroy Thornhill left the band in 2000.

After the monumental «The Fat of the Land», the band vanished for five years. Liam was battling a cocaine addiction, creative block and a marriage breakdown. The industry demanded a comeback anthem; what they got was a bleak, industrial dose of amnesia and lost control. That’s why «Baby’s Got a Temper» was swiftly brushed under the rug by the band themselves.

It is a cardinal baby in the front yard bush/nest.

On this day, 29 years ago, the third studio album The Prodigy "The Fat Of The Land" 🦀 was released.

The Fat of the Land is the third studio album. It was first released on 30 June 1997 by XL Recordings in the UK 🇬🇧 and on 1 July 1997 by Maverick Records in the US 🇺🇲.

The album received critical acclaim and topped the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200. It has sold over 10 million copies worldwide as of 2019.

The Fat of the Land made it into the Guinness World Records! 🔥

So I wanted a prodigy tattoo that wasn’t really a prodigy tattoo, not the usual ant etc… so back in October ‘23 they posted a happy Halloween post on IG and it’s been my phones lock screen ever since. So today I went and got it done.

Guy put on a hell of a show. Sadly his slot was quite small but you could tell he loves music.
