Hello! I'll tell you about the magazine... Working title Port
DJ's. The main part of the material is about my favorite group, The
Prodigy, IronMan promised to write several articles and all the music.
If I find a good coder (for now I have Sergius in mind
Puzzler/PXMc/CTL), then I can promise that the magazine will not suck,
at least the graphics... Whenit won't work out well, but I think it will
TsTs'000 we'll make it in time, although... I gave one text from this shit to
many available to me, so read and absorb...
History of the group
It all started when Liam Howlett met Keith Flint
at one of the raves. Keith made a huge impression on Liam
with his mixes, and the latter asked to let him listen to the recordings.
Liam agreed and gave him a tape with four of his own
tracks. Keith Flint and Leeroy Thornhill were already friends and
listening to the tape one night, they thought it was very
great. Then they met Liam and asked him to play
for them his own material and The Prodigy were formed.
The band's name comes from the name of the first synthesizer, Liam - The
PRODIGY MOOG. So now there are four of them: Liam, Keith,
Leeroy and a girl nicknamed Sharky, who left the team
after some time. When they were supposed to play their first
concert, Liam felt that they needed their own MC and he contacted
Maxim Reality (also known as Keeti Palmer), who
was a reggae MC and a mutual friend of theirs. Maxim met for the first time---skip-----

group on a night show. In 1990 Liam kept a secret from the rest of the members
team signed a contract with XL recordings because he was not
sure how other group members will react to such a binding
solution. They began to actively navigate the expanses of show business and
released first album What Evil Lurks, sold 7,000
copies of it. The album took a strong place in the rave scene, it was
a real find in the vinyl jungle of that time and
today is a symbol of the hardcore movement.
After they released their next single Charly,
there was a lot of buzz around this track in the months leading up to it
release, this was the heaviest version of Liam (Alley Cat Remix),
She made the team really famous in the rave world.
The single was released in August 1991 and received huge
popularity and was in 3rd place in the world charts. After them
fourth single Fire, they released a new record, The
Prodigy Experience. There has been speculation that The Prodigy
will not be able to repeat past successwith the new album, but when it
was published, it proved that the assumptions were far away
pessimistic. To promote the recording, the group went to
23rd tour. But, unfortunately, many fans became
turn away from the team as a result of their commercial success,
which underground critics assessed as their corruption.
At the end of 1993, Liam began creating a conceptually new
album. Nobody imagined how successful the second one would be
album The Prodigy, Music for the Jilted Generation. He
immediately took first place in the album charts and was
sold 1 million copies worldwide. This album
was a mixture of heavy breakbeat, jazz-funk, live guitar,
hip-hop and hard dance. Liam has been called the Beethoven of today
day. After the album's release in 1994, The Prodigy played concerts
every three days around the world and won the Best Dance category
Act at the MTV Awards. All four singles from the album entered the Top 15.
which made them even more popular.
The first scent of new material from their third album
came in March 1996 with the release of the composition Firestarter, on this
time with dancing and singing Keith Flint. He confidently walked to the topall the charts. When the song's video was shown on Top of the
Pops, BBC broadcaster received a lot of outraged reviews
from angry parents who complained that Keith was too
scary to show early in the evening. The recording was sold to
over 750,000 copies in less than six weeks.
It was number 1 track in seven European countries. To this
time the group became one of the largest electronic
teams in the entire history of electronic music. New single,
Minefields was planned but never released (except for rare
cassettes selling for £100). Their third album
was planned for the fall of 1996, but by then it was not
released.
On November 11, they released the single Breathe, which confidently
climbed the UK charts to number one
and, 4 months later, it had sold 700 thousand copies in just
Britain. Numerous rumors about a new album, which at first
was planned to be called Year 2000, Inflicted or
Mindblower, began to spread around the world, but they were all not
more than gossip. Now they have grown to enormous sizes and
claim that the new album will be released on July 30... Already
it is known for certain thatit's called Fat of the Land. His
the presentation took place in England in May. Well, that's all, bye everyone.
