慣聽搖滾的樂迷可能不太習慣The Prodigy的成員組合，兩個舞者、一個饒舌歌者和一個DJ。不同的角度會看到The Prodigy不同的面貌∶若只是拿著CD聽，一肩挑起音樂創作與製作之責的Liam Howlett便是一切；若是觀看他們的表演，那兩個動作狂暴的舞者Kieth Flint與Leeroy Thornhill最搶眼，留著魔鬼髮型的Kieth Flint，更是The Prodigy的形象代表，但整個團的頭頭，卻是負責rap的Maxim Reality－以舞曲界的術語來說，他是「司儀（MC）」。但無論樂評或樂迷怎麼看待，The Prodigy就是這四個人，缺一個就不是The Prodigy，這樣的組合真切地呈現了瑞舞（Rave）的面貌。九○年代初，The Prodigy組成之時，正是英國瑞舞方興末艾的時候，他們以單調重覆的快速節奏、噴瀉而出的電子衝擊聲，以及有如風暴襲卷的現場表演，撼動了英國樂壇。1992年首張專輯《Experience》在英國獲得成功后，1995年的《Music for the Jilted Generation》以更為強硬直接的態度處理電子節奏及音色，並將重吉他切刷的取樣溶入音樂中，促成日後所謂Big Beat的出現。有人形容The Prodigy為「沒有吉他手的龐克樂團」。1997的《The Fat of the Land》與Kula Shaker、L7等搖滾樂團合作，The Prodigy的音樂更加多元複雜。這張被主流樂評形容為「差一點就是經典」的專輯，也因為有較多的人聲（雖然歌詞依舊沒什麼意義），吸引了大批主流搖滾迷走入電子舞曲的領域，The Prodigy的影響從英國跨入美國，甚至全世界。《The Fat of the Land》可以說是他們最容易親近的一張專輯。但是The Prodigy在態度上仍然希望與搖滾抱持距離，決不原地踏步，作出令人腳底發癢痛快狂舞的音樂，才是他們最大的企圖。

Easily the best Prodigy album out there, and that's really saying something. All of the tracks are based in energetic hardcore techno, but there's an incredible amount of variety here. Everything from metal guitars ("Their Law") to shattering glass ("Break and Enter") is used as a sample, and all are used effectively. The album doesn't have a single weak track on it, but the true highlights are the singles. "Poison" is probably the darkest track the Prodigy's ever done (**including** "Firestarter" and "Breathe") and it's great. "One Love" sounds a lot like an older rave track, but it works really well and doesn't overstay its welcome. "Voodoo People" uses LIVE guitars and flutes in a breakbeat track that will get you moving like no other. Then there's my favorite: "No Good (Start The Dance)" which pastes together a sped-up soul vocal and a ridiculously intense beat. It'll leave you gasping for air, but in a good way.

What else can I say? The music's the best that the band's ever made, and there really isn't a downside. Even the artwork's a lot of fun. Pick this up as soon as you can - you won't be disappointed.

When I first heard pre-Fat of the Land Prodigy, I thought it sounded kind of dated, and got a bigger kick out of FotL's blatant pandering to the American Rock palate. But even that was a guilty pleasure, as this was the mid-90's, the heyday of IDM, and I wore my anorak proudly. Since then I've lost my fear of straight-up dance music, and I have to admit that this album in particular sounds far less dated than the music Autechre and Black Dog were making at the time. The underground ethos within is particularly appealing here in post-9/11 America, where even having a burger feels like taking sides. Yeah, all the overused breakbeats are here, but like Nirvana did with those same tired old three chords, they manage to build something special on top - it just took me time and maturity to hear.

As for the music itself? It takes me to the same place in my head as Hendrix, but makes me want to dance until all my troubles have poured out of me like so much sweat. There are sonic and melodic twists and turns that no one else in this style pulled off, even though they had the same arsenal of sounds and beats at their disposal. There is so much in this album to appreciate beyond the superficial trappings of its genre (trappings Prodigy no doubt helped make common) that to try and describe its sound is missing the point. Like an earlier Prodigy album title implies, it needs to be experienced.
