Just kick back and listen to this one if not for it being a brilliant mashup. I'm a club dj myself and i still love listening to this set years later. It's great for a drive and just to listen to a master spin it it reminds me of the uberrare Moby's Everything Is Wrong remixes Mixed cd set by Evil Ninja Moby.
I bought mine in this CD shop in Bern that does not exist anymore (CD 61). This is the best mix CD I own. A must-buy. and was completely surprised by the high quality of the concept. It really packs an incredible punch. It is even better than the proper Prodigy records.
No I don't hate remixes, I just didn't like what songs prodigy put together. Well because I believe they put some effort behind it and because there was 1 or 2 songs that I liked. I love their style.
They just should of done only their old songs and remixed them. If your wantiing to buy this cd because you like Prodigy or your wanting to add this to rest of your Prodigy collection, than DON"T BUY IT. But then you say, why did this idiot put 3 stars.
I'm a huge Prodigy fan. I just didn't like the choice of the songs or how they were arranged. Trust me, you'll be thanking me later.
But I didn't like this cd. I bought this cd for around $18 and was greatly disapointed.
The overall result is convincing, surprising, and keeps getting better with multiple listens.More Sessions, please. The rehashed material is tight and well blended, proving that Howlett is indeed a key element in Prodigy and manages to pick some credible, diverse and appealing references (Chemical Brothers, Sex Pistols, Meat Beat Manifesto, Jane`s Addiction and the Prodigy themselves, it`s all here and more). Prodigy`s wonderboy Liam Howlett delivers an addictive and gripping mix CD, where he exposes some of the band`s influences and preferences, creating an exciting and eclectic record. This is more than an average, by-the-numbers dance mix works that seem to be around, since Howlett clearly knows what he`s doing and is able to create a rich, solid and well-balanced record.
the way Liam mixes Chemical Bros.' "Chemical Beats" with Ultramagnetic MC's "Kool Keith Housing things" was just awesome, adding Hip-Hop beats to Charlatans UK's "How High" and blending Jane's Addiction with KRS-One.pure genious. Being a music lover, I love the tracks that he chose maybe 'cause I have quite a few of them in their original form. In my humble opinion, I think Liam Howlett has made one THE best DJ mix albums (along with The Chemical Brothers' Brothers Gonna Work It Out) I've ever heard.and I've heard quite a few.
the list goes on and on. If you love old school Hip-Hop, Electronica and Rock, then this is definately an album for you. Basically, there's highlights in all the tracks and make you wonder: "How did he do that".
That's right. Babe Ruth's "The Mexican" with B-Boys' Rock da House, Meat Beat Manifesto's "Radio Babylon" with Propellerheads (which is layered with Beastie Boys rapping from "The New Style"), Sex Pistols with Fatboy Slim, JVC Force with Primal Scream, then Public Enemy. I know theres people who think this sucks because "It's just not Prodigy", but this is just to give you an idea what influences Liam has had to make the music Prodigy makes, so I hope if you do buy this, you'll listen to this with an open mind.enjoy.
From intro to conclusion, there's always a surprise waiting for you. The best thing is that you get a lot of this.
