You have resumed very well exactly what I think about them.

That was the best paragraph I've ever read in these few days participating
in this list. Some people told me about how the Prodigy's success was
causing a bad reaction in the UK underground techno/IDM/electronic scene,
with fans throwing out and passing by the old releases of the band. I
couldn't believe this is true. Why throwing out a record you've bought
because the newest release of the band sounds not so good or even more
commercial?
I like Fat Of The Land, but... yeah, I agree it is not as... ahnnn...
'intelligent' -- use here the word you like -- as The Prodigy Experience or
Music For... But I wouldn't never pass away these two, i spent my money in
it because I LIKE THE MUSIC, and even if Liam kill Queen Elizabeth I
wouldn't change my mind about it. (Oh, maybe this possibility would be nice
for some of you Uk freaks :-)))
