Music for the Jilted Generation - Prodigy

Music for the Jilted Generation is, without a doubt, one of the seminal albums of the 90's. Produced in 1994 it is an explosive, angry, dirty, raw album with an unparalelled sense of energy. Music for the Jilted Generation draws heavily on the breakbeat and hip hop influences that produced 'Experience' whilst fusing the myriad of syles Liam Howlet and the Prodigy heared during their first tour of America. The sampled intro states 'So...I've decided to take my work back underground to stop it falling into th wrong hands'.

Think The Prodigy and you probably come up with scary videos and energy bordering on racket. Then again you are probably amongst those who ignored Music for the Jilted Generation, probably more an important, insightful release than many people would care to consider.

Released back in 1994, this album is something of a breakthrough. From strength to strength, the Prodigy were the masters of their field and completely unbeatable. After the superb "Prodigy Experience" everyone expecting something in a similar vein. This album both suprised existing fans and earned them no end of new ones.

Opening with a bizarre, eccentric intro, with warped ...  Read the complete review
