    Wow, that really is a terrible article. I think he's actually trying to say that the Prodigy appearance in the Trinity Ball was the introduction of the underground dance scene to Ireland. :confused:

    Tool bag.

    I totally agree with you, definitely Limerick or Cork had a better rave culture than Dublin.

    Clare had underground illegal Raves going on in the forests in Clare back in 92 until around 97.

    A lot of the new age travellers were pumping out the bpm's up there near Scarrif and Tuamgraney.
    Happy hard-core and gabba mixed with light shows, the local farmers even joined in....

    Way before it was hitting the mainstream, so i think Trinners was well behind the times.

    Seen that. Heartbraking. Makes me think about friends I've lost through suicide and never seen the warning signs.

    Did Flint have alopecia? Genuine question. In that video, it looks like he has no facial hair - eyebrows etc.

    You seem to be taking some glee or pleasure out of this lad's death? I wonder could you share with the group what makes suicide such a jolly topic for you?

    Or is it the negative reaction you crave? We're here to help.

    :) Very much like those clips from that 'Electronic Punks' VHS tape. I must dig that out up the attic. Of course i've nothing to watch it on, but I'd like to dig it out from up there anyways. Was loads of hours entertainment back in the 90's watching it.

    Any of ye ever listen to this absolute badass mix from Howlett? Its just a perfect example of the mish mash of raw sound Liam Howlett was able to create and produce in the same vein as the works from 'MFTJG' onwards. Go to track two and hear him blend in 'The Charlatans' with the likes of the 'Psychedelic Skratch Bastards' and 'Melvin Bliss' - 'AC/DC' mixed into 'Janes Addiction' and then into 'KRS-One'. Its just f**king brilliant. You can see the influences of all the breaks and the varied artists Howlett was into to be able to make his own band cross the genres to make the last great forward pushing pop chart music tunes, the likes of 'Firestarter' 'Breathe' and 'Smack my Bitch up'
    I really hope Liam will still create his music, blend the breaks and do what he do. Maybe now do something like this here but different at the sametime. He's a total genius. This mix is f**king class. Do it.

    Quality, I've downloaded this. The back to mine mix from 2005 was decent too.

    The only time I saw Prodigy was at Slane as a support act for Oasis. I had lost everyone and was found raving by myself on the hill wearing a gold cowboy hat, giving it stacks. A good memory and one I'm sure Keith would have approved of, R.I.P.

    Reported that he died from hanging.
    It makes the news sadder that he took his own life having been so full of life
    and with so much living left to do.

    That news appeared a day or two after the news of his death broke.

    I suppose, it's being reported officially now after an inquest was held.

    That linked article is some pile of Shyte!

    "Bar one occasion where they recorded the ground-breaking soundtrack to the video game Wipeout" - FFS they had one song on the soundtrack. Talk about badly researched. Recorded - it was Firestarter that was on Wipeout. It wasn't recorded specifically for the game. The ****ín dope

    Sounds to me they are getting confused with Fatboy Slim doing Rollcage.

    I had that prodigy track set to permanently play when I played wipeout. I think every wipeout game since then has had an inferior soundtrack.
