I suppose Zane could be hinting the lyrics from Wall Of Death there, Wall To Wall? :)

They were playing Firestarter, Breathe, Smack My Bitch Up (alternate vocal) and Funky Shit during 1996 so they were already written.

Mindfields was "released" as a test press in June 1996 indeed.


Funky Shit was dropped first in 1995, i think in Belgrade in early 1995 then they played it in the set at Glastonbury in the Summer, an unbelievable time creatively for Liam, easily his best, the back end of Experience, the writing of Jilted and then pretty much into Fat of the Land, within 18 months, it can't be underestimated just how unbelievable a time that was for him and the band... and it's easily overlooked just how important that time was for British music in general.....

Its a real weird strategy to release a bad tune first


Firestarter was obviously not a "weak" first single, and was a massive game-changer for the band commercially which then built up a massive hype for the album. But it wasn't the strongest track on TFOTL by a long shot and neither was Breathe, so if we are comparing the release of Nasty in these terms it bodes well for TDIME.


Well... Firestarter and breathe and smbu are very much the best tracks of that album.... The most obvious singles. What other tune would you pick??


i don't think we can compare it like this. when Firestarter was out it, to me it was a track/EP on his own, not the first the single from FAT. or even an introduction. Same as Breathe. FAT was just a masterpiece containing Firestarter and Breathe. No other tracks would make it to the charts IMO. Even SMBU was not ment to be in the charts. i guess XL wanted the prodigy to deliver a single when the album was released. i believe SMBU was released as single for over more then a year after the album was released.


Wrong. FOTL was released end of June '97. SMBU was a single end of November the same year. You obviously weren't there at the time.


And FOTL was planned to be released earlier, but already during those times it took little while for Liam to finish last songs.

It's interesting what Zane Lowe said yesterday during his show regarding the new track and album.

"Check this out. The Prodigy are back. The Day is My Enemy. Forthcoming new album and the title track, ONE OF MY FAVORITES ON THE RECORD HAVING BEEN PRIVILEGED ENOUGH TO HEAR THE WHOLE THING, will be premiered this coming Monday, 7:00 p.m. on this show on Radio 1. Brand new Prodigy title track of the new album coming soon. THE ALBUM IS JUST WALL TO WALL, FLOOR TO CEILING AGGRESSION. YOU'LL LOVE IT..."
so we'll hear The Day Is My Enemy on monday? that would rock


Usually I'd be happy to hear new tracks but if the whole of 'The Day is My Enemy' track (and not just the 20 second clip off Facebook) is played on Monday, people will be listening to a radio rip of it for 2 months before the album comes out. I thought the album was going to arrive pretty much unheard. At this rate we'll be skipping the first two tracks on release day as we'll already have been listening to them for a couple of months.

I swear I thought that it sounds like Back 2 skool at first listen. Other people noticed poison fill but I think it's more b2s-ish.
