If it is…

Many thanks for your 2am set at Glade Glastonbury 23… blew my mind right when it needed to be blewed…

(You’ll have to imagine the love heart, guitar, mushroom emojis I tried to add)

Yeah, because nothing says ‘authentic music scene’ like the notion of violence against musicians and performers.

Pathetic. No doubt your allegiance to the so-called ‘free party or squat scene’ vainly continues to this day. I can almost picture you…

All my life I have just trust my sense of hearing what is music…

The scene you describe was only a small part of early rave culture and not even relevant in many parts of Europe. The Prodigy headlined raves in my hometown in 94.

If that is in fact your real name sir or madam!

Please post a link where we can all listen to your music! It must be amazing if you are the first in to put down a track that sold shit-loads.

No, seriously, do it. Put up or shut up.

100% agree. It was life changing.

Seconded as well.

The Prodigy is what got me seriously listening to music. That naturally lead me to electronic music production via questions like ‘what’s sampling?’ and ‘what do sequencers do?’

Gateway bands like this should always be celebrated.

Um. I love The Prodigy. A couple of tabs of LSD and the Music For the Jilted Generation album had a profound impact on me.

Particularly as it was mostly sequenced on the Roland W30, a workstation keyboard. Also, the majority of people into dance music (or indeed ‘underground rave’) in the 90s were fully into the Prodigy, in the UK at least.
