Prodigy: "We're back, we're pissed!"
────────────────────────────────────
For five years nothing was heard about them.
But they returned to climb again
the throne that remained empty all this
time.
British radio stations refused to
release new single Prodigy "Baby's Got a Te-
mper". (Graver’s note: here in Russia
few people even guess the meaning of the phrase
"smack my bitch up")
So, in July the much-awaited
single - "Baby's Got a Temper" (this compo-
the position not only began to spin
some radio stations, it has already been broadcast
disgusting in several countries), in the autumn
release of the second single is expected
"Nuclear" (Graver's note: this single is vi-
Delhi in Pskov, he personally never got to me
got there: it’s not in the regional center, nor
especially in my town, so we’re waiting
album), and by the end of the year the al-
bom (note again the sameGrazhera: comes from-
monitoring the appearance of this album in Moscow,
but unfortunately February has already begun, and al-
there's still no boom, Liam actually promised
release the album in March 2002!!!). B
At the end of spring 2002, the group held a non-
big tour.Kate: "So impressive
I believe that the public has not changed at all. Us
accepted in the same way as then. However,
it should be so, because we have the same amount
rage and aggression, just like then. Remaining
just get back into that rut - and the world is for-
staggers!"
Unique
The history of Prodigy began in the 90s, when
their first thing appeared - "What evil
Lurks". And already the second single - "Charly"
new one of the leading compositions of the 91st.
And after that they sausaged the whole thing for seven years
peace. In the summer of '97 they released the last one
album - "The Fat of the Land" (approx. The
Gravedigger: I don’t know who composed this one
article that was carefully torn from
magazine "Cool", and the rest of it is without
pitifully burned in the stove, but the last
The group's album was released in 1998 and was called
"Castbreeder" It seems like I live in the city...
ke, whereonly 30,000 of all people,
but it turns out that I know about Prodigy
more). Only for the first three weeks of pro-
given over 2.5 million copies of the disc
to the whole world! And then they left for the long term
vacation. Although there are no apparent reasons for this
it wasn’t - everything was cool and the relationships were internal
The teams are also excellent. Just like
they themselves said, “we have become too com-
commercial. We need to find something else."
Aggressors
The formula of their music, discovered by the leader
groups Liam Howlett,- aggressive
hip-hop combined with crazy house.
Starting with club dance rhythms, they
reached such a level that, in fact,
walk outside any style, forming
your own unique world of music Prodigy.
Now, looking at the state of show business,
sa, Liamsays: " Usually, if any
the group is retiring, its place is right there
someone else takes it. Competition is more
than cruel. But, as far as we can see, on
no one came to our place. Just sweat-
Well, there are no such people anymore". Indeed,
over the years, a lot of teams have tried
do something similar, used them se-
mply, did endless remixes. But no one
notwas able to reach this level. What is mu-
did the zykants do this time?
Kate Flint, lead singer of the group: "Well, honestly
but speaking of it, it was disgusting. More precisely, per-
This year it was just what I needed. Measured
life, meetings with friends, family. Besko-
a constant series of parties. And then it became...
something is missing. I raced motocross
around the stadium all day long. And then we all
sat down in the studio and did what we wanted
I wanted to do it all the time. And also from us
Leeroy decided to leave - he wants to take up pro-
producing new groups. It's a pity! We remain
We were friends, but I will really miss
keep him on tour, although for now he’s with us
stands out."
Still, many fans are left wondering. "Ba-
by's Got a Temper"we waited so long that
everyone thought it would be something fantastic. A
in fact, this composition is not much different -
depends on the style of the compositions from the album
"The Fat of the Land". "Then there will be pain-
She, - Liam assures us.- Our new tracks-
This is a step forward." Well, the main thing is that
this step was not too big, otherwise we
you can't keep up with them.
Comments on photos that you don’t want
they want to show off as an artist:
- the appearance of Prodigy on the streets, likegreat-
tends to cause morbid interest among the city-
jan, accompanied by traffic jams;
- during the break Maxim Reality you-
launched his disk;
- no significant changes in appearance yet
Prodigy not seen;
- Kate Flint as an evil clown
from Stephen King;
- it’s impossible to count how many times Kate
shows the fact during the performance;
- Liam Howlett - DJ and brains of the band, he-
nerator of ideas and driving force, in general -
unconditional leader.
P.S. another one came out in mid-January
their single called "Ghost Town".
When I listened to it for the first time, at the very
I was wondering why there was some kind of rhythm
simple, but at the end of the track there was a ma-
for! In general, this is the steering wheel!
