***** It was LP of The Prodigy Experience for me. Hearing Charly, Out Of Space and Hyperspeed for the first time back then just blew everything else out of the water at the time
chris masamune yes. by the time the second and third album came out i was waiting for them. the prodigy experience and moby - early underground were my first two electronica cds. 90s rave/electronica is the best. before genres solidified. the 4/4 and broken beats were all mingled together as just music.
Robert Purvis It's the Big Beat genre. It was the shit in the 90's! There were a few other groups that were on par with The Prodigy such as Genaside II, Propellerheads, Meat Beat Manifesto, etc they all had that "Prodigy Sound" but of course no one can do it like the masters. The Prodigy have never made a bad record, it's all creative, hard, danceable, and innovative in my honest opinion
Chris Masamune yeessss! forgot about that term. i was lucky to have seen live the chemical bros (1st coachella), orbital, underworld (twice), and the crystal method in the late 90s. i was a big beat junkie back then. that one propellerheads album was amazing. never got to see the god damn prodigy though. i know they made a comeback tour the last two yrs but no stops in america but the ultra festival. i will settle for Metallica for the first time this July for my fun this year.
They forced dance upon us. I couldn't stop dancing in 97 and my children dance to them too. How mad is that. Pure energy. Since then everybody tries to sound like them.
I am from Romania. Born in communism in '81. I used to listen to rock and metal until in '92 when I heard Prodigy. The reset happened... I felt this is the music from my mind and for my kind.
It's a shame Copyright laws have pretty much destroyed an entire age of music. I'd love to hear another Prodigy album using all those "ilegal" samples again.
@gavinmillar461 yes mate i heard of them around 1990 when a track called " what evil lurks" was around on bootleg xl. I managed to get a copy and charly was released and i have every vinyl they released.
"people that like doing high energy sports in a field thats sort of basically the wrong side of the law" is the politest way of saying doing e at a festival. RIP Keith
Mixmag turned its back on hardcore ravers. Even their terminology went from Ravers to 'clubbers'. They stopped covering the rave scene and then done a 180 as it became cool again 🙄
RIP to Keith, iconic figure of the 90s when I was growing up, loved The Prodigy from Out Of Space single onwards even though I was what my raver mates called a 'sweat-neck' indie/rock fan lol They had that appeal and energy that crossed the divide and Keith was a big part of that, thanks for the memories dude 💔✌
Prodigy, in my opinion, were the only rave pa that was any good. Absolute legends who would rock a party. I'm glad I got to see them so many times. Happy days.
Maxim sang breathe to me at the Barras yrs ago. I shit myself lol. He was towering over me telling me to breathe with him, I was going to be breathing anyway but I did what I was told
Had a conversation with Maxim around 2003 round a mates house, but so used to his stage persona I didn't recognise him. Only found out 10 minutes after he'd left. Nice guy, no pretensions. Owned an Akai MPC of his for about a week, but that's another story.
By praising them to the hilt, it's really good to see Dom Phillips eating a huge slice of humble pie after that ridiculous article which slated them five years before this video was made. When he did that piece in Mixmag he obviously didn't foresee the success and longevity the Prodigy would end up having.
First time saw the was at a rave in a smallish club think it was 92 but could have been 91 few hundred people in there then see them few more times, and then saw them at a big rave called vision in late Aug 92 for 40,000… next time I saw them was at Glastonbury headlining….. I never planned to see them once it just happened that I was there and they was, it was cool to see them come From nothing to be massive for me, and I feel a connection to them… im an old raver, my fave song is your love ❤
Yep Original Members Are.... Liam Howlett (Keyboarder) Keith Flint (Dancer/) Leeroy Thornhill (Dancer) Maxim (MC) Sharky (Dancer) But Sharky Left Early In 1991 and Leeroy Left In 2000 Then Keith Sadly Passed Away In 2019
Frank Hansen Now one of the Christmas decorations is dead and the Prodigy as we knew it will never be the same again. Liam is a musical genius but I wonder where he’s going to find a frontman as unique and charismatic as Flint was.
It’s funny with these uk tv programs from 2000’s, that they all share alike minded monotonic groovebox beat, wheter it is reality tv show, love boat singles or blind date uk whatever - and now I realized it’s the same even with respectable documents like this. I know it’s a copyright thingy, but if there’s a document of one of the most monumental uk acts, there should be their (Liam’s) own beats. Despite that, great docu!
@@nt5811 its a joke. We all tried it back in the day, keeping banana skins on top of the radiators and drying them out for days, but fk all happened lol. May as well just go score some bud tbf
The Prodigy experience Liam howlett is a God. The Prodigy are the best live PA I have ever seen.EVER STILL the prodigy experience Carlisle sands centre 92😋 RiP Kieth flint 🤘🐜
45 minutes of Prodigy documentary with 0 minutes of actual Prodigy music... This was nut just 'unofficial', it was unofficial to the point of being scared of being sued...
32:35. Maxim: We don't really go out of our way to push ourselves in ppl's faces. We wait for them to discover us. You know. Better for someone to come to a show and then bring friends.
Kind of right about "Smack My Bitch Up", that was probably the high water mark as far as publicity. Does make you wonder if they would have stayed bigger if they didn't release it, I never made that association before.
I just learned it was most likely a sample from "Give the Drummer Some" by the Ultramagnetic MCs, makes sense they would stir up controversy by reaching back to the old school hiphop roots. th-cam.com/video/6eSrD3bvZAE/w-d-xo.html
does anyone know the name and artist of the first track? This track also appear in the official trailer of Beowulf, the movie from 1999, from the producer of Mortal kombat movies Lawrence Kasanof. I got the soundtrack from this film, but this track is not the part of it. Only on official trailer. The ost of Beowulf is killer, there's also Prodigy - Religion (Bass under siege mix) of Front 242 on the soundtrack. First track of Prodigy Evolution is pure madness!
It was until around 2000 when nu metal became pop music and so-cal punk rock also became chart friendly pop. After that the likes of Fall Out Guy filled the pages and the magazine had never been the same since.
What a terrible documentary. Why would you interview a girl who walked past liam and said "hi"? LOVE The Prodigy but this doco is an absolute disgrace at best
" LOVE The Prodigy but..." what, 'coz as u can see as 1st thing "Evolution has been produced WITHOUT the AUTHORITY or CONSENT of THE PRODIGY, THEIR MANAGEMENT, THEIR RECORD COMPANY, or ANYBODY ELSE CONNECTED TO THE BAND"..... so u r abso right this is crap and has nothing , abso nothing in common with Prodigy or linked to them! bye, sorry i didn't mean to be rude, no hard feelings but it's a real shame that in 2018 there isn't still something serious about a band that has written a page and half of music history!

RIP Keith leg end. gona play so many prodigy bangers
Play Smack your Bitch up, don't ask yourself? Why would anyone write a "$ong" like that? Perfectly OK.
Why are is one calling Keith a foot? Perhaps a pet or nickname for them?
The guy was a legend for sure. Such a nice guy. Shame these epic people leave so soon.
Rave In Peace Keith 🙏🖤

I Been Fan Of The Prodigy Since 2009
Shameful.
@@Djbangerz74exactly bro. 1992 I saw them first live but had Been raving to your love & Charly in 91. XL Recording’s. 🕊️🙌🕊️
@gavinmillar461 yes mate i heard of them around 1990 when a track called " what evil lurks" was around on bootleg xl. I managed to get a copy and charly was released and i have every vinyl they released.
Me too 👍🏼 1992 in Los Angeles!!
Considering Liam literally makes the music for every single song on his own, he doesn't seem to get any credit
He provide the proper image for the band, the marketing targeted him instead, that make them rich
Agreed
Ikr, the whole documentary should just be an interview with him.
Liam = the prodigy. The prodigy experience was by far his best work
Hes worth 10million or so richer than the others so yeah he gets plenty credit
good to see that harry Potter loves the prodigy
That's Louis Theroux.
😂 If Harry Potter had went to Grange Hill lol
That's NOT Louis Theroux. :-D
Legacy, legend, loved and missed, thinking of you guys at this hard time. 😞

been a fan since the track android. these guy's are legends. we lost Mr Flint. but they are still strong. Can't wait for new material.
Legendary band which to the top from underground and is always faithful to its roots.

RIP Dom Phillips
Love this history of the prodigy
Where'd you find this gem thanks for uploading
Klasse Dokumentation über The Prodigy 🤘😷🤘 Von der Rave Szene in der Punk Rock Style und das durch u.a. Keith Flint
I particularly enjoyed the four minutes of snowboarding (that could've been anyone to be honest) set to the Cybernet theme tune.
The worst thing about nostalgia TV is the music journalists.
The Prodigy group is the legend!
Yep Original Members Are....
Liam Howlett (Keyboarder)
Keith Flint (Dancer/)
Leeroy Thornhill (Dancer)
Maxim (MC)
Sharky (Dancer)
But Sharky Left Early In 1991 and Leeroy Left In 2000 Then Keith Sadly Passed Away In 2019
Liam is the tree and the others are Christmas decorations. They are there to make Liam shine. Its a symbiosis they fullfill eachother ..

Класс! Спасибо за видео!

i remember Madonna asked them to remix her song after they signed with her label and they turned that down LOL
FN 2187 She even asked Liam to produce her album 😎
She offered Rancid naked photos of herself for them to sign with her label. They turned her down.
Prodigy respect!😎👍
20:38 Who would have thought that the Charlie kid in that public awareness advert would grow up to run the Labrynth club ;-)
those mixmag guys had a seriously big chip on their shoulder. Criticism is the weapon of the artistically neglected. Moronic puristic attitude.

The Prodigy is a band of thieves. I don’t even know a single track that is 100 % their own production.
Cant forget the mc ruff who died not long after this at age 27, he had heart problems the same week as Stevie hyper d r I p
And the same week as Tony De Vit too…

When that bird in the fur coat is saying that the Prodigy was different bc they danced, a clip of Andy Barker from 808 state instead?
Yeah and maxim is pretty good.....
Interesting I didn’t hear any prodigy music in this
taking yourselves too seriously. Charlie tube was cool nothing more nothing less just a cool tune
They were my inspiration to produce EDM
That’s unfortunate
What were these sonowboarding clips? Meaby the one of the best snowboarders of that time on that video. What was it to do with the prodigy 😅 ?
They used to snowboard in their free time, so was most probably footage of them snowboarding.
Keith Cobain looks different here
What the fuck was with that ridiculously long snowboarding montage?
Track that kicks in at 3:00 ????
Prodigy on Kerrang? What 😂
issue 624, November 23, 1996

I disagree.. they r all same level .. they all have insane creative and excentrik caracters :)
