Actually, I've been revisiting old Prodigy lately (of all things).
Jilted Generation is quite good, few could do break beats like this. I got
curious about what people thought of the remastering quality (there it is again)
on the Experience re-release, and instead got a fun read as people on Amazon etc
rate the album like "wow, it's good, but not at all like Firestarter!" I
actually quit liking the Prodigy with Fat of the Land, so I found this reversal
rather amusing.
I've
also been listening to more modern psy trance (which I don't like nearly as much
as earlier stuff, imagine that) as it's pretty good listening music whilst
working - Rinkadink's "Rabbit From Darkside" is a pretty good one, for the more
modern, sparse, less Indian-sounding stuff. (Interestingly, Total
Eclipse's Violent Relaxation was one of the first to herald the end of the
beginning, the beginning of the end as far as old-school goa, and yet I still
consider it probably the best psy trance album I've heard. It's definitely
the start of the new school stuff, but the pinnacle of the old at the same
time. Jeez, thinking about this makes me want to go listen to Prana's
Cyclone....)

Ok everyone , so what have we been listening to

Any discoveries or tidbits of information on some
old sounding new sounds.

Always fun to read this mailing
