BRAINKILLER FORUM :: View topic - new audio interview

For anyone with even a passing interest in dance culture, old-skool UK rave terrorists The Prodigy are just one of ‘those’ acts. Throughout the 90s, producer Liam Howlett and co came to represent everything anarchic and subversive about dance culture, releasing two seminal albums with Music for the Jilted Generation and Fat of the Land as well as enduring anthems like Outer Space, No Good (Start the Dance) and Smack My Bitch Up that have stood the test of time. They’re also easily one of the most energized and ferocious live performers to ever work in dance. The announcement of the Big Day Out lineup late last year received a mixed response in some quarters, but for ITMers it was happy days indeed. The Prodigy were coming back to play again; who gives a f*@k about anything or anybody else?

After all these years, The Prodigy are still pretty pissed off. “That’s just me as a person, man,” Liam told ITM. “Everything in my music reflects who I am. I don’t walk around angry, but that’s my undercurrent of discontent, I’ve always got that about me. That’s what keeps me hungry to keep writing music… The Prodigy have always been an outsider since the beginning, since the early explosion of rave culture. We always sat on the edge looking in.”

The Prodigy’s new album Invaders Must Die is on the cusp of release, and Liam calls it a ‘triumphant’ release for the band. The live clips doing the rounds on the mnet would suggest The Prodigy are back at their explosive best, and the band will be ready for battle when they take to the Boiler Room stage alter this month. ITM’s Angus Paterson talks to The Prodigy as they lock and load, apply their war paint and get ready to kick your ass into February, when they’ll piss off again out of the country. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Great interview but that's because of Liam actually wanting to talk this time. He was about to go into more depth about the behind the scenes stuff then stopped himself and said nah that's boring shit sorry. So I guess they tried to write the lyrics first and Liam was having a heard time coming up with the beats to put to it. Then he just wrote Warriors Dance to be able to play something new and that's when he decided that way works better for him. Guess we didn't see any real b-sides on Omen because he's still working on them. Did you see they have Warning video shown as a new track. Any hope of still getting that version you think? I'm hoping it will (obviously ) It would be cool if it was on Run With the Wolves if that gets a single. Also he gave props to Pendulum and Justice so I say the haters should chill. He said he was definitely up to do another collaboration with Pendulum and they just have to give him a call. He also called themselves pirates who just come into the electric scene to take what the fuck they want from it, get inspired from it and then leave.

Nice interview. Just something I've been noticing alot lately "OUTER SPACE" First few times I noticed it, it didn't bother me, but now it just annoys me. I'm pretty sure I noticed it on the official website too a while back. I know its nothing really. Just annoying...
