Get XL to add some more stuff. The 2012 remixes are nice, but I wished there was a bit more put into this to make it truly special. Rarities would be a plus. But I'm all for at least of that era's b-sides apart of this package and all in one place.
Is this a remaster?
What to say... the best Nature album cover I've ever seen (also with best colors + combination - like blue/green [website font] with orange/yellow) and another "we won't make money without doing something shockingly different in highest quality and original again" - what can make you more sure than The Prodigy? ... It's like a long-year endeavour culminating into a clear proof that hard music doesn't necessarily mean something like heavy metal, but it can be something much more intelligent/sophisticated/combined/original... and it isn't about a (strictly limited mainstream) genre/style at all (i'm a rocker | you're a dancer)...
This is the first The Prodigy album I bought (and the first one-band one), on its release date - 30th June or 1st July 1997 (before there were of course the first videos I saw, the fresh ones Firestarter [celebrated with also at the Olympics this year]/Breathe videos, which caught everybody everywhere...)... I was 12 (big deal)... I remember it was maybe too big shock/serious thrilla for me at the time (after stuff like Out of Space, more guitars... but Climbatize always chilled it out... :) ) - but now it's in the line with the other albums...
Btw. regarding Nature - have you noticed how many animals have appeared in The Prodigy stuff? Let's name it: cat, ostrich/emu, bird (Wind It Up, One Love?), insect (Ruff), snake (Poison?), rat, ant, tiger, fish, crocodile, bug, crab, cow, shark, pig? (AONO?), medusa, leopard/gepard, spider, wolf, piranha, dog, bear...
... or another Nature elements?: plant/leaf/tree/jungle/village, g-force, sound/music, fire, volcano, lava, sun(rise/shine/down), space, weather, cloud, thunder, wind, water/sea, life, earth/world, man/people/girl, exotic island, sky(line), land/sand/beach, shit, milk... (you have all 4 elements in it... and I also regret The Prodigy music with negative Nature scenes on Discovery... but I think it's with something more positive in some ad nowadays...)
Good luck with your new record!
"Oh my God that's the funky shit!"
