We just wanted to thank everybody who came to the academy tour, it was good to drop some new tunes and the reaction to them was incredible.
we ended up at brixton which for us was amazing - it was madness in there and a great last gig of the year..
played 'take me to the hospital' as the last song at brixton to give you a flavour for next year
have a good xmas people.

new review for upcoming album

Long time Prodigy fan and self-confessed knackered old cheesy quaver, John Doran gets invited to the first listen of the new Prodge album 'Invaders Must Die'. Snap My Bitch Up: Paul Dugdale

We couldn't wait until next year to bring you news that the new Prodigy album is... wait for it... a bit of a corker.

Despite featuring some of the tired industrial tinged electro punk elements that have hamstrung their career since Fat Of The Land, this is mainly a satisfying and electrifying blend of crazed hardcore breaks, mentalist Essex boy mentasm vibes, serotonin pumping synth stabs and Roland-abusing acid house work-outs. It contains, from a dance fan's perspective, the best work they've done since Music For The Jilted Generation.

A probable single (but by no means the best track on the album) is 'Colours' featuring Morgan from Does It Offend You Yeah? on vocals. It's an electro call to arms which calls to mind Muse trying to tackle The Stranglers.

Much more punchy and satisfying is 'Run With The Wolves' that features another notable guest, Dave Grohl, who adds his thunderous drumwork to the mix.

The thing that had me rocking out at the playback, however, was the chicken oriental, radio rental, let's have it you Walthamstow mentalists 'Take Me To The Hospital'. Ford Cortina rave in full effect. This is what the Prodge should have been doing for the last decade. Piano led hardcore, with 'Out Of Space' chipmunk-style vocal samples, spicy Jilted Generation synths and vicious 'Firestarter' drum programming.

Luckily this isn't the only proper 21st Century Rave on offer as 'Warrior's Dance' and 'World's On Fire' really satisfy as well.

The mainstream press will probably be interested to know that the last track 'Stand Up' shows the band properly embracing their status as a mainstay of the festival circuit with a Primal Screaming Oasis do acid house arms in the air anthem.

Not an all time classic, but far better than most people might expect.review early next year.

THE ALBUM IS DONE

Liam wrote:

. THE ALBUM IS DONE. we r all so buzzed about it . it is called INVADERS MUST DIE as you probably know by now ! .11 tracks. its a band album mostly so we can play all the tunes live if we want. didnt want to have any guest vocalists on this record even though we did do 3 collabs but they didnt feel part of this record -- they may come out later. dave grohl plays on run with the wolves, what a top lad he is . he approached me and we pulled that tune out the bag at last minute, fast ferocious tune with evil big electronic riff with keef on vocals. i also got james from 'does it offend yo yeah' in to do a bit of additional production on a couple of tunes .i met him at gatecrasher and he basically told me he was a fan and had been trying to rip of my sound for years , fukin hilarious . geezer ,great to work with. warriors dance is on there sounding massive in its final form . got lots of other beats and pieces left over including a couple of live tunes i know people buzz off so the plan is to put that shit onto an additional disc that will be part of a box set or deluxe -not sure yet but those beats that didnt make the main album need to break out .
seee ya LLLLL. HHHH

'This is going to be our best album to date.' - Liam Howlett

Liam Howlett, front man of the band, has released a short statement on the group's website saying: "we are at final stages of mastering our record in new york. man we r so charged up about these tunes, they r sounding big. just finished recording the last one which is called 'run' with keef on vocal. its a killer fast tune, it makes me wanna smak my head against a wall 11 tunes in all on this record. (...) enjoy, master H" The new album features contributions by enigmatic vocalists Keith Flint and Maxim Reality, who have been with the band from the very beginning. In a recent interview with Mojo magazine, Howlett admits that the soloproject nature of the previous album almost resulted in the demise of the band, as the release proved to be way less successful than their multi-million selling 1997 album The Fat Of The Land. "This is going to be our best album to date. It's more melodic, but it's gonna be a real blast!". The Prodigy will embark on a short tour through the UK in December, for which all tickets were sold out within one hour.
