If anybody starts bashing I got yer back. I liked all the Prodigy's
albums to varying degrees. I was only 1/2 kidding about any of the 5
up there ... just trying to point out that there was more to 'tronica
in the 90's than Warp and Astralwerks... even the "dumb" stuff was
really fun and influential
Moby didn't always suck as hard as he does now. The Prodj, well they
had 2 pretty good albums considering what else was going on around
that time; Likewise the Shamen ( I was young and unwise, not to
mention full of drugs, in 1992 ). Utah Saints made me want to buy a
Sampler. The Real McCoy were (and probably still are) played SO DAMN
MUCH on the radio in St. Louis that I had no choice but to like them.
Those guys might be a one-hit wonder but for crying out loud that one
hit hasn't stopped ... Ace of Base invented Dub techno. That's all
there is to it ...
