Omen


Well people have been getting in touch with us saying how remarkably similar The Prodigy's latest single, Omen, sounds like us. Since their legal representation is funded significantly better than ours, I can't make any comment about it right now but I'll just leave you with a couple of entirely random questions to you to mull over during your lunchbreak.

1. Wasn't Stu lucky to get to go in and do some vocal recording with main Prodigy man Liam Howlett last year eh? (Read previous blog post for more info..)

2. We all know Keith Flint's legendary voice ("I'm the firestarter!").. isn't it funny how he doesn't sound anything like he's ever done in any previous recording?

3. Wouldn't it be sad if a massively successful act ran out of ideas and resorted to shamelessly stealing from hard-working up-and-coming bands without crediting them at all? Gosh I hope that never happens to us.


Whilst we're discussing omens, Nelly was telling me the other day how he's been having recurring dreams of death and he keeps waking up with the sweats. As any dream analyst will tell you, a dream of death symbolizes the end of a phase and therefore the beginning of another - a time of change. As we're wrapping up the final parts of the album over the next month, there's definitely a unanimous feeling that it will be a liberating and refreshing feeling to finally get these tracks produced and released so we can move onto writing new material.

Unlike some bands we're oozing to be creative and do new things.

The Prodigy finally release their new single. We had particular interest in seeing what they had to bring out since Stu was asked to go in with a songwriter to help out last year as they were having problems coming up with decent new stuff.

"It was one of the most surreal moments of my life. Liam Howlett's there and he's saying he really wants a tune like Basement Jaxx's, 'Where's Your Head At?' and then I'm asked to lay down some lyrics but with a similar tune.. it ends up sounding like a totally embarrassing rip-off but he seems quite excited about it."

As it turns out, they decided to rip-off Pendulum instead. Really.. what were they thinking with that synth sound?
