Well he is good but IMO the master of drumprogramming is squarepusher. Listen to the Hard Normal Daddy LP and you know what I mean :)

Sounds pretty tight! I love that album! He used reason for the "always outnumbered but never outgunned," but i assume he used some of his earlier techniques. Not too keen on the newer album, just sounds like the thought "hey, pendulum are ripping us off, lets rip them off, but better."

Saw them live a few months ago for the second time. I was dissappointed. They didn't play anything of always outnumbered, not even spitfire. And Dizzee Rascal was on before them, and he sounded so much heavier than the prodigy!


I went to that gig and I thought they were good. That did surprise me that they didnt play anything from always outnumbered but then again it was to promote invaders must die. I think they thought , lets chuck a few early classics in to please the die hards and then concentrate on promoting the new album. I am not too keen on new album but still good. I mean Fat of the lad was the classic album and most artists have one classic album. But come one DIZZEE RASCAL were better than them????? he was awful, playing all that pop/crossover dance grime crap!!!!

Guess u probably didn't grew up in Europe?

Prodigy rocks :twisted:

Their best selling album was Fat of the Land. Entered the charts on #1. They also had Breathe and 'smack my **** up' (should check that vid), but man I partyed hard on their songs.
Also gets u in a nice aggressive mood before a sports game. Or driving.

Think reason was used on some tracks when making fat of the land as well as the newer stuff. W30 for experiance and Jilted

Liam was the producer/DJ for UK hip hop act Cut 2 Kill (C2K) before his Prodigy days. Listen to the Dirtchamber Sessions and tell me he's not a hip hop head....

^^^yeah, roland drum machines and synths are pretty ubiquituous in all styles of electronic dance music. chicago and new york house used plenty of samples, but not so much in detroit techno. strings of life is an exception there. can't really think of any other detroit classics with much sampling -- oh wait, carl craig. latter detroit stuff by moodymann and theo parrish are superb pieces of sampling. moodyman would have to be one of the great masters of the sampler.
