1: Q: Everyone says: "The Prodigy,
      The Prodigy" and whatthis is actually
      I mean, is this even the case?               
   A: The Prodigy is a band/team
      making music. The simplest definition
      laziness. Moreover, this music is very ori-
      ginal and peculiar, not similar
      like nothing else from dance
      style.  Actually, define the style
 style.  Actually, define the style
      quite difficult, very original
      but the musical theme itself is done.
      In short, you need to listen to this.           
                                          
------------------------------------------
               
2.  Q: How is the word Prodigy itself translated?
    A: The word 'Prodigy' has many meanings.
       ny: from “miracle”, “eccentric” to “genius”.
       In a word, prodigy - translated
       original person, extraordinary
       essentially a personality. In my opinion this is
       the name most accurately reflects
       the music they make.        
                                          
------------------------------------------
                                          
3.  Q: What style?Are The Prodigy working?
    A: As mentioned above, the style
       quite difficult to determine, and
       given that the style changed to
 taking into account that the style changed to
       throughout the entire time being 
       commands, from light breakbeat
       (a.k.a. english hardcore) and jungle
       (a.k.a. drut'n'bass) in the album Ex-
       pirience to techno-trash in their own way
       last (at the time of compilation of the data)
       nogo FAQ) singles 'Breath' and 'Fi-
       reStarter'. However, the "weirdos" themselves
       define their style as Electro-
       Nick Punk. In my opinion this is called
       it reflects not only the style of music
       as such, and the style of music is the
       prodigy in conjunction with that imid-
       the gem they created for themselves.

4.  Q: What year was the album released?
      'Experience'?                       
    A: Actually, you need to watch such things
       in discography. Very short disco

The Prodigy's debut album "Experience".
The album included a completely new ma-
material plus remixed old stuff.
It should be noted that this album debuted
shaft not after the success of one single, like
usually happens with dance teams,
quite the opposite.  The first full album
Prodigy immediately entered the British national
national album chart at number 11, os-
lurked in this chart for twenty years

5.  Q: Many people say that The Prodigy
       in addition to two albums (Music For The
       Jilted Generation' and 'Expirience')
       there is a new one, many say yes -
       you saw him... Sois it released or
       how?                               
    A: No, not released. However, practically
       ki is ready in terms of musical mathematics
       rial, singles Breathe and FireStarter
       exactly from the last album. For k.
       1996-present 1997 many were released
       the prodigy's compilations like 'Music'
       For The VooDoo Crew' and 'The Rest,
       The Last, The Unreleased'.  Exactly
       These collections are taken by many to be
       new album, although at the first meeting
 new album, although the first collection
       We only have concert versions of sing-
       catches from already released albums, on
       second... it’s not even clear what the pa-
       re-three singles from two previous
       upcoming albums + Breathe and FireSta-
       rter. However, on each of these
       there are also a couple of collections
       singles that really don't
       were not included in one of the albums, i.e.
       really unreleased.  By the way,
       interesting opinion of one of the signatories
       chikov conference:                 
                                          
"The Rest, The Unreleased, The Last" is
not an album, but the antics of drunken Bulgarians!!!
(i.e. a collection riveted by them from two si-
nglov - Firestartera (track itself + B-side
Molotov Bitch) and Breathe (the track itself + The
Trick), the rest of the place is “finished off” with songs
from the previous twoalbums (well, there are still
true B-side of the single One Love - Rhytht
true B-side of the single One Love - Rhytht
Of Life and shortened version for video clip
pa (edit) No Good Start The Dance!       
Its only value is operational
there is its riveting (i.e. literally through
month after the release of Breathe). Well, since
singles we have in Kyiv NOBODY and NEVER HE
I SAW - many people buy it because
Firestartera and Breathe...                
The Bulgarians, as always, froze the hell out of it -
It would be better to “finish off the disc” with different B-sides
for that matter (for example Vodoo
People (Dust Brothers Retix) is a good thing,
so where can I get it?)

6.  Q: Are there words 'FireStarter',
    'Breathe' and in general...?                
                                          
    A: Of course there are, if they are in the
    song. However, as sad as it is,
 song. However, as sad as it is,
    The Prodigy have obvious problems with words
    we, one person decided to record and so
    what he got:                
                                          
    "And aboutwords in songs. I've never
    thought someone would need to listen
    words in The Prodigy, but still.
    Usually their songs don't have many words,
    and even if there are such, then she herself
    speech is distorted or played in a decreasing manner
    fast or slow speed.
    I like The Prodigy songs like this
    what they are, and I don't think that
    knowing the words will make the song better. Ho in
    anyway this is the page where
    collected lyrics.

       phoe no one knows, because in The
       Prodigy Mailing List I've seen both
       versions. On the MCM channel this song is
       name is 'Breathe', on RTL7-'Breath',
       on compacts and cassettes - also both
       versions. So if anyone has
       branded (not Bulgaria/China) disc
       with this composition, then don’t be lazy
       Feel free to take a look and tell me.
