A real experience
The Prodigy are rightfully one of the most respected dance acts ever, and this album is full of classics. "The Experience" is a rave/techno style album with some top tunes like "Jericho", "Music Reach", and "Out of Space" that really make you want to dance. "The Experience" also contains the classic drum and bass remix of "Charley" which goes down well at parties as well as "Hyperspeed" and "Weather Experience" which are two of my favourites. Although this album is very distant from the style of "Fat of the Land", it's definately worth getting, especially if you're a fan of The Prodigy. It may be a bit outdated in modern society but that doesn't stop it being a classic, and it will really lively up your cd collection.
A sweet start to a long and prosperous journey
This being Liams first album, it reflects what he and the other memebers in the band were into at the time - pure, solid rave. It rocks, Out Of Space is excellent. Liam changes the mood of the track time and time again, with pretty raw edges to each change, but he gets away with it. Charly, trip into drum and bass version, has seen nearly all the original lyrics from the cat taken away, probably so people would stop giving the four hassle about being, "The Band That Killed Rave" - which we all know isn't true, no one said anything until the cash-in one hit wonders hit town. Liam Howlett did a great job mixing that one. As with all Liam's albums there is a great variety in his work, from the fairly chilled Weather Experience(in Prodigy terms anyway - indie kids take note, you'll still be blown away with it's speed and power), to the hard beats and raw lyrics in Death Of The Prodigy Dancers. This track is recorded from a live gig, and changed my idea of typical rave bands forever. That should be so though because The Prodigy was not a "Typical Rave Band". Each album has been a new step for the band, with their styles dramatically changing, but the hardness, and technical skill of the music never fluctuates. The album may have been around a few years, but for those of you who are slow to catch on, and still haven't got it, I think it's about time you did, it'll be money well worth spent! Get ready to have your mind blown!
Balancing Artistic merit, With 90's Rave anthems....
The first Prodigy album (Hardcore Enthusiasts considered it their best album), was an album that perfectly reflected the rave scene at that time (admittedly the album is hugely influenced by breakbeat techno), so the slightly happy-hardcore-esque "Your Love", the drum 'n' bass remix of the "Charly" anthem, the ragga-dancehall sampling of "Out of Space" , or the flat out breakbeat of "Wind It Up", showed and beautifully illustrated what many of the more underground clubs when playing at that period. The prodigy (or more importantly, "Liam Howlett", who produced & arranged all the Prodigy tracks), show not only exemplary production skills, but a keen eye of current musical trends & the ability to seamlessly integrate obscure samples into a prominently dance oriented template with (predictably) remarkable results.
Its 10th Birthday....
and it still sounds great!! It really is hard to believe that this cd is 10 years old, can you imagine what all the ... 'dance' music that gets in to (at least the English) charts will sound like in ten years. This sounds fantastic listenin to it (as i am right now) even today. It's a great example of electronica you can actually dance to which also qualifies as great music on its own in your bedroom. I own a lot of electronica from the likes of underworld, orbital, the orb etc.. and although i really love that sort of music theres no way, if i were a dj, i'd be confident enough to play it at a party/disco. But I'd have no problem playin this. Its just 110mph all the way through (apart form weather experience, which slows it down a bit) it makes you wonder what Liam Howlett was trippin on at the time he was makin this album, also makes me jealous that i missed all the wild raves that inspired this cd in the late 80's, thats a pretty good word to describe this album actually...wild! Its about as far removed from 'The Fat Of The Land' as the same band could make any album so if thats the only experience you have of the prodigy your not absolutaly garenteed to like this, but i can't see why any one wouldn't. In my opinion, it's also Prodigy's best album with hardly a moment, never mind a whole track, worth skippin.
Very good rave collection
This sounds nothing like Prodigy's most well-known album, The Fat of the Land. For one thing, there is almost no rapping or singing. It consists of all samples and drum n bass effects. However, that is not a bad thing. This is excellent music to dance or work out to, but you can also sit back and take it in as well. Savvy and stylish.
Before music journalists were throwing around terms like "drum & bass" or jungle, the Prodigy's Liam Howlett was creating high-energy dance music by marrying sampled, pitch-shifted beats to all manner of electronic timbres. This album has it all: complicated break beats, housey piano riffs, lush analog pads, frenetic and computeresque melodies, and subsonic bass. In fact, the mélange is so dense that the material demands full attention and repeated listenings to gain a complete understanding of the rhythmic interplay.
