Yeah good point Sean.Proably because the Prodigy were a world wide phenomenon and every where you turned the Prodigy were being banged out.But overall looking back on it i don't think there was alot of exposure to that style of music.But i also think imo people could only really tolerate it in small doses.So the Prodigy was as far as it went with alot of people.You could ask yourself also if they liked the Prodigy so much would that not interest them enough to want to explore that style of music a bit more.Maybe they did and as i've said they could only tolerate a very small % of it.Who knows.

Also maybe thats why your cousins went abroad.They probably could'nt get enough exposure to that style of music over here so knowing it was big accross the water they travelled.:D

Personally i can't see how they would'nt like a track like the track above that you posted.There's so much ****ing energy in that track it just makes ya wanna get up a run amok.I feel like i want to get up and dance now...lol.

i'm with ya there ace, but what you've just said there about not enough exposure, kinda goes along with my point about limitations in musical styles, which was my 1st statement and the original post that sparked this little debate.

reason the prodigy were so popular over here. is because they were and still are mainstream, like most of the "rave" that was played here, was mostly mainstream. prodigy, altern8 etc were breakbeat hardcore mainstream crossover, in essence it was commercially acceptable hardcore, like what happened to trance in the mid 90's. it became commercial, and sounds nothin like it did when it was originally produced, which is why its still huge here.

defo woulda been back and forward from the uk, had i been old enough bitd for the open air raves they put on, dreamscape, fantazia, even the acid house sunrise party's in the late 80's. think we missed out compared to what went on over there, which (in my opinion) is why they're still light years ahead of us musically to this day.

ok Sean this ones mainly for u.And anybody else who cares to lend a hand.:D

This track has been on my mind now for a while but i don't have any samples and did'nt really have any good way to explain it.But now is the time to give it a go.As i'd love to hear the track again,see if it is actually as good as i thought it was when i had the vinyl all those years ago.

Ok checkout the track below @ 2:36.The track i'm after starts off similar enough to that.But somewhere along the line a vocal kicks in.Very high pitched vocal can''t remember if it's male or female just singing ohohohohohohohohohoh leading up to a piano break which pretty much plays tru the rest of the track.

Well i leave it with ya....:D:confused:
