how come no one was saying this when prodigy released firestarter? the only thing I heard was "fucking stupid rock music for alternateens"? how come richard gets the good treatment and liam and co gets bashed? come to daddy is a shitty song. Obviously, this is a matter of persional taste, But at least yer Aphex Twin seems to have a bit more of a sense of humour about it all... The Prodigy actually seem to believe in the lame thrash/dance hybrid they are plugging (again, this is obviously only my personal point of view, i by no means consider it to be absolute...) Having seen a snippet of both these artists at Glastonbury, i have no doubt in my mind as to which seemed to be performing for the thrill and entertainment of making groovey, exciting music, and which seemed to be trying to live up to an artificial, 'bad boy' media persona. But hey, that's just my opinion :) -- Andre Bosman

And? I think both artists have large quatities of both attributes. Only one of them sucks, though. -Chris Fahey
