1994. 09. 'music for the jilted generation' - the prodigy

really, really hadn't heard this album in 18 years... must say, i was pleasantly surprised... i enjoyed it -- i liked the menace in the music... it was there, clearly, without being so overt that you wanted to scream 'get over it' at the nearest wall... 'poison' is still probably my favorite of their songs -- i remember it being on some free sampler that either i had or my lord jce's brother had -- next to a song by therapy?, which makes me giggle -- so lots of memories of being out in england just enjoying the scene...

fewer vocals than 'fat of the land' -- no 'firestarter' keith flint screaming here -- but to me, more powerful... this is what breakbeat sounded like when it was still indie... by the time we were smacking all our bitches up, the lager boys in ted baker -- before they grew up and became chavs -- were already listening, and it wasn't fun anymore... put it on and dance, dance, dance...
