Due to the way I used to make my templates, The Prodigy is spelled Progidy, Karma for every time I've gotten annoyed at people for actually calling them Progidy I guess. Anyway, Enjoy. - Hudba
I’m all too aware of the Progidy spelling mistake, this is an old video and it was a mistake on the template I was using that I didn’t catch. No need to keep pointing it out 😊 thanks.
Eightminutesupsidedown I think a lot of people pronounce it as the progidy anyway lol
@@Chief81 No, they don't... just idiots who see the prodigy title for the 1st time
Eightminutesupsidedown don’t worry about it mate , just thanks for doing these vids , oo dems were the days !!
Hi no worries
Btw you misspelled prodigy.
Hey did you notice that you’ve actually spe......😽
no one can deny that liam howlet is a genius
And he was using caveman equipment. A genius.
@@DrewJPS It wasn't cavemen equipment at the time believe me :D
@@DrewJPS cavemen equipment LOL first time I read this one ! It qas top quality gear back in these years...they are still quite expensive to get nowadays !
@@XyNoST ,
Really? So when white people sample they're a genius
Man, liam Howlet is a crazy man at sampling
Liam Curran I agree 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
He’s gay
@@SourDiesel69 so what if he is? Fuck out of here homophobe
@burteriksson mxn it is then
@@undergroundsequence well if only he was gay 😂
My friends use to laugh at me saying I was still stuck in that era , fine by me !! Oh and I’m nearly 50 yrs old RAVE ON
Rave never ends
Same with me, nearly 50. I’m from Germany, but at this time, I did my Bachelor in Edinburgh. So by listening to the Prodigy, I see myself in the dark narrow streets of the Old Town.
🙂 it’s in our blood and will never leave . Looking back around that time there were some incredible tracks . Every time I hear them today I smile and think back what a golden time it was . All nighters and weekenders . Brilliant 👍
I just got tickets for November in Birmingham. party on! :)
RULERofSTARS brilliant have a banging night 🙂

Liam Howlett is a once-in-a-generation level talent.
If you’re in to other electronic music, Richard D James and Simon Posford were actually born the same week as Liam, all three of them in the UK in 1971. It might be the most talented week in music history to be born in, I've listened to each of them for the last twenty years🙂
Wait until you hear about Todd edwards
Liam..genius
Really genius!!!
I agree
He's more talented than those two french robots together
Or.. posh kid muso made good?
Two French robots? You mean Deleuze and Guattari? 😂
RIP Keith.
lol he's dead? Not surprised.
@@Prizm44 What’s so funny about it?
@@Prizm44 he killed himself not that long ago
@@Prizm44 you sure, that you live?
The people who disliked this need a COVID test, because they’ve got no taste.
Covid also damages brains btw
Hahaha cool!!!
ROTFL 🤣
Covid didn't wipe enough idiot's out, thats why mate. 😊😊
He said "the progidy" lol. Maybe that's why
this dude was a genius. created a great song from hearing one second of a tv show.
Jilted was just such a varied and unique album. My favourite one I think.
Definitely the best one, timeless masterpiece.
I love how he took that cheesy Kelly Charles sample and created one of the hardest and timeless dance music tracks of all time.
I must have heard outta space a million times, but it's technically brilliant on every level, can't help but smile every time you hear that trum track
The Prodigy are still my favourite band. I've still got their first few tunes on 12" vinyl and am looking forward to the new album.
Liam is a self-confessed pirate, long may he continue.
The Prodigy and Fatboy Slim bring me life everyday
Oh and what mighty tunes they created with sampled beats... a prodigious collection of tunes that smashed the 90's and took the rave era to another stratosphere... Prodigy they are 💞👄
fly high Keith u legend
No good still sounds so fresh today. B-e-a-u-t-i- f-u-l sounds
The first time I ever heard Charly I was like "what is this sorcery?"
I was hooked.
Agent Rafa cartoon techno
Yeah Charly was the one the made me marry them as well back in 91.... Completely new sound, before the house era.. It is epic.
Same here
Liam Howlett Vs Daft Punk - Who makes better use of samples? Like for Liam, Comment for Daft Punk
Both, they're musical geniuses.
@@frstwhsprs Indeed, who the hell would put the two agaist eachother
I feel like with Liam's sampling it's a lot more 'straightforward' ie, if he was to play you the original and say "i'm going to use that sample" you'd probably guess which part he was on about and be able to imagine how it was going to sound in the context of the finished track. With the daft punk samples it would be more like "I'm going to sample this..."..."oh...er.. really? Okay...well..." and then the result is totally surprising, or barely recognisable as being sampled from the original source
I adore both!!
@@MrMargaretScratcher Daft punks sampling is pretty blatant and upfront, The album Discovery was written around the samples with the remaining musical compostions engineered to sound sampled. If you listen to George Duke - Love you more i dont think you will be too pressed in identifying daft punks version. Both Prodigy and Daft Punk have the samples hidden in plain sight.
They’re a great group!! I’ve been listening to them since I was 13 and the older stuff has the best sound 💃🏼
The more I dig into 90s electronic music, the more I realize how revolutionary was the funk music of 70s
Nice to hear the original samples, quite amazing what the Prodigy did with them all, a most enjoyable video.
Prodigy were ahead of the game, so much creative talent.
У меня одного голова качается когда Prodigy играют? Спасибо Кит в сердце навсегда !
Ещё ноги топают!))
@@user-zy1zu1ln7q ага
Это старость , братан))
Лиам делал музыку. Кит просто фронтмен
Бигбит это круто
if i had time machine id gone back to a 90s rave including prodigy
So would I
You and me both brother
I was 17 years old, 1991, and "Everybody in the Place" exploded in the Charts ! Next smash hit was "Fire" ! I couldn`t believe it, I never heard such music before ! It was a REAL GREAT Era !!
It was a blast.... like nothing else ...
I saw them live in like 2012 and it was great but I can only imagine how wild the 90s must have been.
Its amazing what they created with samples very talented
Even Nirvana's old drummer, Foo Fighters frontman(name eludes me)said he reckons Liam Howlett invents n creates some interesting powerful n syncapating drum licks. I dont believe the Howlett actually physically hits any real drums but he has oceans of precussive talent.
Dave Grohl?
@@michaelsinclair2731Yes the man himself. He played drums on the track “Stand Up”.
he didn't actually sampled the guitar from Nirvana's song, but he played the riff himself and sampled that to avoid copyright issues
Just putting this out there everyone that gives them shit about taking samples and calling them cheaters or whatever, your talking absolute brown! You use the tech they had back in the early 90s and try do the same! They are talented lads and deserve the level of fame they have!
Casey Carlile Couldn’t agree more, what Liam can do to a sample is genius! Not so much a fan of their later stuff though, but that doesn’t take away from just how good he is.
The chap is amazing!
I agree 100%! A lot of people are on the fence about the later stuff (I personally like it) but that doesn't take away from anything! Amazing band!
Casey Carlile If I’m honest, it’s Keith’s vocals that ruin the newer stuff for me, his Faux-Punk style just isn’t for me.
Eightminutesupsidedown Awh really? I always liked his vocals! Still an amazing band either way tho 👍
Casey Carlile his vocals really suited FOTL, but their music style has changed and his vocals haven’t. Don’t get me wrong I still love the guy, even though he once stole a sharpie from me haha!
Thank you so much for the great job finding those original songs and making this video, so much memories..
Jesus I'm supposed be trying to sleep...
From the first tune to the last, I learnt what it's to be a warrior. With tears in my eyes, I listen, knowingly, expectingly, wanton, for a fuller, fatter beat.
THANK YOU LIAM, God bless KEEF XXX.
I'm done,
mic drop.................
Liam is some kind of god, right?
@@8mu- love how you’re still replying to comments
No comment on what the Prodigy became but man, for a 5-6 year period Liam was absolutely up there with the best there ever was.
What they became? One of the most sold out acts ever.
I think thats pretty much what he said.
@@maccagrabme doesn't seem that way to me at all. I mean come on. "For 5-6 years absolutely up there." So more than half of their musical work is worthless?
@@herschelschueler I wouldn't say worthless, just they went in a direction that I didn't particularly like. I suspect I'm not alone in that, I doubt many of the people who loved experience and jilted felt the same way about invaders and enemy.
It's just the way it is, bands evolve and some people don't enjoy the new style. No big deal.
@@herschelschueler Well I didnt say it was worthless but I think his earlier work was superb and after Fat of the Land got a bit less imaginative. That could be because the style changed and I didnt change with it, I didnt mind some of Always Outnumbered, the ones using more of the sampling but got a bit tired of the vocal stuff. I think he works best with oldskool samplers and sequencers and that the modern DAW and laptop doesn't really work too well as he is less creative the more options he has. Lets see what he comes up with next now that he doesnt have to make songs for the front man Keith R.I.P.
Thanks for taking the time to post this, brought back memories oi oi !
I never knew Lulu was sampled for 1234 Music Reach
Hahaha i kind of had an incling , but then when i used to listen to it, i thought the sample said, " you make wanna . SHIT !", as the last part sounds like a pitch change to the rest .
Yeah that was a surprise for me too!
That was an obvious sample
@@dmomcilovic9185 it's obvious, but it's definitely one that slipped through the net for me.
Many samples are pretty known by those who followed Prodigy in 1990s. But, especially, great conversion of sample in Skylined (from X-files), which I was unaware of, and in Break and Enter that utilized Baby D's vocal very skillfully. Also great conversion of tiny part of Lulu for Manic Reach. Liam has ability to convert certain samples into his own techno track so much that it creates different atmosphere of the track and works for the song perfectly.
The Prodigy - the best breakbit project in the world!
Love them !!!! Cant find music like that anymore ...
Never knew how many samples they used, so surprising and amazing as well. The best!
Damn I had most of these Prodigy singles on cd back in the day! They had a digi pack instead of a plastic jewel case. They contained remixes and had about 4-5 songs.
В России на Продиджи выросло пару поколений....поэтому респект!!!!
Дочь 2011гр, растет на них, Кино и Пинк Флойд. Каждые выходные контрольное прослушивание на даче. ))
На виниле...
@@user-zy1zu1ln7q Здравствуйте, Вам можно сказать повезло, мои близкие зачастую настоятельно требуют "СОКРАТИТЬ МУЗЫКУ".... Полное не совпадение вкусов в общем!!!
Excellent video! I really appreciate that you put some of the more obscure songs in there, and didn't just do the typical "these are the singles." Great job!
I had no idea about Lulu being sampled! Thanks for this video :D
this very tiny sample of Mark Snow in X-files goes long way and led to one of my most favorite track from The prodigy, didn't know that, awesome video thanks.
Thank you for your work, theProdigy, classic for samples but greater, let’s go Jean-Michel
Thank you for this video. I study all sleeve and whole information regarding used samples was missing there. Didn't know about hidden treasures. This explains Liams background as a DJ in it's craft.
loved this video, thank you for this!
There’s plenty more of them 🙂
Their Law !!!! one of the best Prodigy songs
Wow, what a time capsule! Fantastic memories.
Greeeat Job.
Really thanks.
Love this
What a brilliant vid. Thanks for taking the time to make this and for the Education, I only knew a few of these. Kenny Everett and Lulu, I had no idea haha.
Zero-G Datafile One was the first sample collection I ever bought back in the day. All this time I never realised that one of my favourite Prodigy tunes used a sample from it.
Thanks for the compilation
Whoever knew which song every sample was from really really knows their stuff
Just amazing work . Love that sample used in Hyperspeed , favourite track off Experience.
Это еще раз доказывает, что Лиам гений.
Just goes to show their greatness and creativity. R.i.p. kieth
Wow didn't know this guess ya learn something new everyday,loved there early stuff cheers dude
I have grown up on The Prodigy. I remember buying Experience and being amazed at this new discovery. Music for the Jilted Generation cemented my love of The Prodigy. Nearly 30 years later, I can't believe how good all of this still sounds. And while I knew that many of these tracks were heavily sampled, I had no idea on a few of them. Liam was truly a genius at his craft.
Nice! I heard that Max Romeo in a show recently, and was like “is this Prodigy?” They have sampled so much, insane.
Как же прекрасно, что они вдохновились этой музыкой и мы услышали ее!
Having goosebumps while listening to this old Prodigy tunes
Awesome work!
Soundtrack to my youth. Those 2 albums influenced my teenage years. Have to dig them out for old times sake..thanks for this vid..very interesting
The Prodigy the Best!!!
That's just an awesome list. Liam Howlett is genius.
Absolute GOLD. Even though Liam keeps getting interupted, "tryin to write this fckin choon, man."
my name is Liam. every time i put that album on when wasted i thought they were talking to me 🤣. oddly my dad was called Keith too
Sampling is one marvellous thing and LH is a tru master splicer no doubt. But how on earth does he get them sounding so fkn huge every single time?!
I love skylined, and that sound they sampled always interested me. Movies are a very good source for sounds as a lot of work goes into sound design for a movie.
Great work man! Many thanks!
Great vid cheers for uploading it.
I have pretty much everything Prodigy have ever released - on tape, vinyl, cd etc.... Gonna dig it ALL out now! Thanks for the great video!!!!!
:-) :-) :-) :-)
Glad you appreciated it mate
Allan Crawford mine got lost /stolen over time if i send you a mega high terabyte load of disks record the buggers for me !!!! ( pretty please ) 😀
Good video fella, ahhh the memories....
Every song is a freaking master piece!
Liam Howlett is a god of underground rave culture. Way ahead of the times
2:33 oh my gawd this is the first time I've seen where this sample I've been singing since 1992 came from. WOW
Charly 💚 what a gold record! No Good was the coolest vocal sample! Wow Liam
Saw Prodigy n N-Joi live at Blackpool palace nite club mushroomed up n fully tripping to deep perfection. Fantabulous epic nite.
Other than "Pump Up the Volume", and that song Jean-Michael Jarre did for the Challenger astronauts (RIP poor Challenge astronauts), The Prodigy Experience was the first electronic music I'd ever heard. It was back in the early 90's, which is impressive for a young American, and it blew my fucking mind! That album will always have a place close to my heart. This video gives me a new respect. Big ups to the 8MU!
Such talent at such a young age
wonderful. All gifts to you, return to be shared the news. Thank you for sharing.
liam is a genius - you cant get away with sampling anyone these days without law suits and bitching moaning - if someone sampled my own production id be happy as larry
This would just make a great playlist on its own.
Remember everyone it all comes together when you hear a classic tune drop and your ‘ahem’ feeling fresh the lights , lasers the booming bass with a 1000 smiles and everyone dancing like deranged nutters. Know the score !!!!
OMG as if I missed Music Reach - Lulu 😂😂😂 all these years.
Every day’s an old Skool day 🕺🏼
Never knew that the "One Love" sample was a typical case of "what you read is what you hear"... Cool, and great video!
Wow - that's something... throws me back to 1990 when I bought my first prodigy album 😅
Like Picasso said: Good artists copy; great artists steal. I think taking a sample and creating a banger of a track is just as creative as making a new one. Especially if it's done multiple times, they proved themselves time and time again.. Everything is a remix, music, movies, clothing, it's all been done before and built upon. One cannot exist without the other. Look at it like this, these tracks are the version of the old one but then in 'your' time. It's just as good.
Totally agree. People think it's cheating and not very creative but I disagree completely. I don't think anyone but Liam could have used or even thought of using these samples in the way he did
Keith Flint 1969-2019 😔🙏
They are just soo awesome!
You done the great job, dude. Keep it up
Thank you very much! Great job.
Lyon Michaels thank you buddy!
Those first two albums were my childhood
Thanks to you, I watched all 6 episodes of the funny cartoon Charlie says!)))
I found that Hustler's Convention vinyl before I knew of The Prodigy. On the same label as the Simon Harris sample albums. I freaked out when I put the 2 together. Great stuff. Liam Howlett not only knew great samples, but was a keyboard genius, in the league of Praga Khan for making unique sounds.
And then, after midnight.... when city sleep.... I hit that 3 KILOS track and laid back & enjoy in my memories of 90s childhood... :)
"I am the god of hell fire, and I bring you HELL FIRE"
... to me always sounded like Rik Mayall.
That sample was also used in the Young Ones.
@@Jordo246 I know, I think that's why they used it. It's also not impossible that's what Mayal used as vocal inspiration for the character.
So good 🔥🤘
6:13 omg..
I really loved Wind It Up. Brilliant track
Nice one, cheers for this!
