TheProdigy

hello, Prodigy forum members/ band members. This is a topic based on a thank you. you see, I am a traceur, (a parkour practioneer.) Parkour is this radical new thing that has recently risen in popularity. The chances are that you have seen videos or heard or them. If you haven't, your eather too popular to bothewr with the world or just realy sad.

You see, as I am a traceur, when I train it heps me to listen to music. So, I asked my step-dad what music would be good to listen to and make a video with. He mentiond The Prodigy. After listening to Out of space, Everydody in the place, I had instantly thought that this was the music.

So as my training progressed, so did my skill. I needed more bassy and deeper music to get me in the same mood as I did when I was lower in skill so that I could try bigger things. I listend to Voodoo People, Breathe and spitfire.
Once again, Awsome music! I always listend to The Prodigy, the music worked egzactly for videos. The music always got me in the mood to train and to go out and run like mad. The music changed me. The music wrapped me up and took me on an insane ride until I couldn't train anymore. You helped me with my training, you helped me to progress.

Right now I'm listening to Voodoo People (pendilum remix) I must leave now, as I am now in the mood to train.

So, this is my huge thanck you and I hope your music only gets better.


(btw, If you evern need a freerunner for a video of yours, I'm there )

Parkour something new?

I've been doing Parkour for two and a half years now. Don't listen to music while training. It's destroying one of your senses. When you're doing Parkour you need every sense you've got (apart from taste maybe) to get around safely. Say you're on a roof and it's really weak but you have your music in and you can't hear that roof break underneath your foot before it's too late to react. Also, music, particularly The Prodigy's, pumps adrenaline into you and psyches you up to do big things but say you're not ready to do a certain move but you're psyched up to do it and then you try it and really hurt yourself?

And you wonder whether The Prodigy know what Parkour is or not?! Sticky from Urban Freeflow (for practitioners, Urban Freeflow is the biggest Parkour/Free-running company), was in the video for the Pendulum remix of Voodoo People.

Also you say that The Prodigy would be good to be put in a Parkour video. Don't do it. It's been done so many times before and it really kills the music for me (so much so that I have to stop watching the video) if the person in it is completely new to Parkour.

I'll give you credit for one thing, your misspelling of "exactly", I loved it.

When I see posts like these, I loose faith in mankind.

I spelt alot of words wrong then. I was in school so i needed to type it all up without looking at the text, i had to stare at a exel screen

I listened to the music when I am training, it would help me.
I don't know why The Prodigy got one of U.F, there the worst team in the U.K!

Btw, Pyro, u wudnt happen to be Pyro from Liverpool would you?

Is this some kind of new narcotic??

All I have to say is WTF! <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->

No, I'm not fake like the others, Pyro is my middle name, I'm Pyro from Nottingham. UF aint the worst team in the UK, I bet they're far better than you, I happen to be mates with Blue, Sticky and Livewire from UF and you'd be stupid to put a bad word against them, their level of skill is high, they're some of the best in the country.

Nobody asked you to use a real name, we fakers use a username

Ok, there not the worst. U.F and C4 have made Parkour popular in the U.K.
I have also trained with U.F. There skill is poor. I'm 15 now and my parkour is more advanced. considering the poularity they have, they should be alot better.

No, I meant, there are a lot of people out there who do Parkour and free-running and call themselves Pyro, when it's actually my middle name.

I think someone is telling porkie pies, purely for the fact that Blue is one of, if not, the best in the UK. The rest of the team, are damn good as well and as I say, I'm mates with Blue, Sticky and Livewire and we train regularly. Show me a video of yours and I might believe you're telling the truth.

Please guys , is time to make good bets old scholl beats , you know what im saying , like Music for the JG & Fat of the Land , dont disappoint milloins of fans .....

why the fuck is this shit being discussed on a prodigy forum?

hahahhahahaaha If the prodigy need a free runner to run blindfolded into a tree let me know.......
Man thats hardcore

Prodigy, thanx for your music and inspiration. The new album is great it really is, but what I really miss in the newer tunes on the production level are STRINGS. Those beautiful magical harmonic strings that Liam used to make like in Weather Experience, Skylined, The Heat The Energy, One Love, We Eat Rhythm and many many more. The new tunes are good and melodic but most of the tracks starting from AONO are all based on heavy guitar and synth riffs, maybe even too much. Thunder is maybe one of the very few that have strings, but i would really like more tracks with those melodic and moody strings.
Respect and love to you all.
