Damn it, you beat me to it....

nice one

thanks for posting this Paolocar

one thing still bothers me though.
the interview claims there was a criticism from the fans because it left out keith and maxim on vocals.

He/she should remember that the first 2 albums did not have either of the lads on vocals(despite a tiny sample from maxim on poison) and no one complained back then.

personally..i think aono had its flaws.
but leaving keith and maxim out was not necessarily a problem for me.
There are lots of prodigy tunes I love that are also "solo" tunes

Whilst I agree with you, there's no denying that all I ever hear is people
going on about AONO how it didn't have the other two members on the tracks.
That... along with them saying that tracks sound unfinished.

I really believe the whole idea of that album flew right over
most people's heads. AONO was an album created that goes right
back to the music - and not relying on the success through the other
two front showmen. It was a re-invented sound, which purpose
was to have a high enery in each track.

Wake Up Call or even Spitfire are prime examples.

Great tracks with HUGE energy,
without relying on a whole load of cockney lyrics.

I think it's sad that a lot of fans just didn't get it,
based on the success of other previous hits.

Amazing album in my opinion.
The rave days were rightfully over.
Too many fans and journo's living in the past.

Werent there 3 Albums without vocals experience anyone ? Ok, death of the prodigy dancer was live, it doesnt count Then on jilted u also got liam "on vocals". Afro, u sure talking about the same band? Always fun to mess with u mate

just read the interview... this american "interviewer" hadnt done his homework really:" music for a jilted generation?" , "Maxim Reality"? Heads gonna role Its not a bad interview but not very informative either if you ask me. And some interessting stuff about electronic music in the U.S., do people still think that there was only Moby bringing up the underground movement back then ? What about jeff mills, derick may, roan atkins (to name a few). You could add crystal method and maybe some other, but they jumped in mid 90s and where like more "commercial". Thats my 2 eurocent about the interview

i think we covered experience when i said "their first 2 albums had no vocals and no-one complained etc etc"

experience was their 1st album flinty.
you should check it out man...nice beats

oh man sorry, got confused with the whole aono thing, thought the first 2 from the end (aono-jilted)... x-perience u say ? Need to check it out

*wrestle*

AONO was arguably ahead of its time. It's only now starting to become relevant. Justice, New-Rave etc...

Maybe we will see the same thing with the new album. It will be way ahead of its time.

As for vocals I think the new record should have a mixture of tracks with and without Keith and Maxim on vocals. And also other collaborators at the same time, possibly in same song as Keith and Maxim. Maxim Feat. Twister and Keith Feat. Liam Gallagher would be cool.

great news. the interview could have been summed uo with the last 5 questions.

but according to Liam, the bomb is ticking!

about justice, everyone is talking about justice and justice, I know a french band justice and they are crap and overrated. They try to be daft punk, but they arent. They do the same music that daft punk did 8 years ago (and I wasnt that font of the new direction really, all that cartoon animation and stuff... typical frenchies haha).

Exactly mate Justice IS a crappy overrated band.
Why is Laim playing with his fans by delaying the new album for another 3 months (or more).
He has already delayed it two times before.
I think he should cut the bullshit and be honest about it.
But it seems that he doesn't give a fuck about his fans anymore, that's a shame.

I dont think that delaying the album is because of the lack of respect for the... fans. Its typical Liam for saying one thing, thinking another thing and doing something completely different at the end . Also in the interview he says that he heared the fans about maxim and keith having vocal parts on the album, so I dont think that he/they doesnt respect the fans... they are not the sex pistols

i love the way he says that the prodigy are a midstream, festival band for everyone. its so true, none of this "underground" bullshit you hear people on about.

the new album will come when it comes, just relax and let him finish. did anybody actually expect it to come out on time? it'll quite likely be the guts of another year before its out.and the delays are just part of liam's way of doing things.
