I don’t believe Disneyland is able to stop another Hitler or Napoleon.
But the fact is that I’m able to run few kilometres within air temperature below -25C…

I’ve never been in Disneyland, but I ask you…
Would you rather live in Disneyland or Siberia?
Shall we import snow or grass?
Let me tell you,
Preparedness makes us powerful.
Champagne merely makes us drunk.

I’ve seen a lot of Prodigy labeled shit merchandises recently - snickers, bags and now it’s t-shirts. I haven’t seen anything worse. I don’t believe it’s worth to sell Prodigy brand like this. Just like last days of the ant.

Some Prodigy fan found Liam in the outer internet car forum recently. And I should say, Liam is damn keen about cars:
tvr chimera
tvr griff 500
escort cosworth (i know ,essex)
porsche 993 rs
viper venom 550
gemballa 600 993
ferrari f40
mclaren f1
ferrari 550
ferrari 360 f1
ac cobra 427
ferrari 360 manual
pagani zonda c12s
ferrari enzo
dodge charger 1968 (still own)
It seems Liam was a quite regular poster in the forum, but then he has quit for some reason. I’ve read some disappointed comments about the fact Liam loves cars and driving instead music making. I should say, you’ll be surprised, I have nothing against the cars and super muscle car. I pretty much like these one myself. Of course, I don’t own any car at all, music hardware is my top priority at the moment. But I quite respect people who make cars like Dodge Charger, they should definitely work and eat, that’s why there should be people like Liam Howlett. He is a VIP, he has money and I wouldn’t mix it with music making. Being rich is a pretty much curse. Art loves any kind of limitation. Liam was a genius with his Roland W30, I was a genius with my 4 channel mod hardware mod-files player. But when you got a million of samples, tons of hardware, you just don’t know where to start. And if you got a million of places to go to have some fun, what would you do? Well, I’ve given quite a lot of advices to Liam, I don’t see any reason to copy the same thoughts again and again. The only thing I’d add is that I don’t like the fact people have no any other subject to discuss, it’s sad, man.

Hey.
I just downloaded a decent quality version (originally encoded at 96kbps, not the myspace steam rip) of the Charly (Zinc remix) which has been posted at the Prodigy myspace. Honestly, I’m not impressed with the mix. For some reason it sounds quite boring to me. It does include some interesting fx’s, it’s speeded up, it does include *funky* bass line, but kill me, it’s boring. I’d say the mix has totally ruined original Charly energy. I’m not familiar with the way Liam choose official remixes, but it seems it’s related to dice throwing somehow. Which is no surprise, unfortunately. Official remixing seems to be a totally opposite approach to unofficial remixing in my case. You know, it’s quite funny to be *unconnected* to the official side. In the official side everything works, something less, something works as hell. Whereas being non-official remixer and Russian resident makes a monster of you, the only thing that works is your imagination. Your talent, your tools, your music, your success is just your own imagination. Too bad I can’t feed my body with the imagination, it just won’t work.. In the unofficial side..
P.S. Liam, I’ve bought a second hand Terratec 24/96 sound card for $73, shipping costed me $40, have a damn champagne! Cheers, yo bitches!

Somebody very similar to Liam Howlett posted recently a message at MySpace Prodigy page:
Aloha people- welcome to our new myspace. We have been cracking on in the studio for most of this year with the new album as well ripping a few shows around Europe. We are now in the mid to last stages of recording. Sounding big and mean. A couple of interesting collaborations both musically and vocally. We cant wait to play these new tunes live. stil aint got an album title. this one should have been called ‘always outnumbered never outgunned’
2008 we are back to attack!. we will try not to be lazy with keeping you updated………..aaaaarrrgh!
Basically, it’s a big surprise when we get something more than “it will be next year”, and Liam has thrown another bone to keep fans alive. I must admit Prodigy has lost a big part of the fan base for the last few years. AONO was a pure disappointment to me, but right now I’m the only one around who still read these lame messages about bombs, next years and rocks. All of my friends got over with even listening the Prodigy music years ago. The only good thing is that Liam was in the studio this year. Everything else is just a fuck. Thanks God, Liam didn’t mention champagne this time.
I got angry years ago. I’ve never seen Prodigy live, I ruin 90% of my shitty profits for a new equipment that make possible Prodigy remixing with decent quality level (you’ll be surprised about Japan>Siberia shipping price ). The only thing I want to see is the Prodigy music. There is a lot of questions about Liam makes me wonder. I wonder why Liam has quit remixing. I wonder why Liam uses his Mac instead hardware. I wonder why Liam don’t release well-known rocking Live tunes. I wonder why Liam throws promises with no any thought to keep it. I wonder why Liam makes years_with_no_release possible. I wonder why Liam use the same track-list for years. Generally, I wonder why Liam is so negative.. It’s more and more looks like the only thing that make Liam move is money. I never lick asses, so, I’m sorry If I was honest.
Next news… Radio 1 has played early version of Shoot Down track - Guns. Basically, it’s a deep mod of Trigger, well-known never released track. It’s a quite weird that Liam changed Trigger so much to put lyrics into the track. Trigger was one of the most proper Live track with *classic Prodigy sound*. Yes, Trigger had pretty FOTL sound, but it’s not a reason to make “Guns” of it. For some strange reason Liam didn’t trust to own *Prodigy* nature and decided to find *new* for the AONO album. I still wonder why Liam tries to put some *new* and *bomb* sound with his left cerebral hemisphere every new album after FOTL. Prodigy music used to be quite different, with *out of time* sounding. Liam, quit the bomb syndrome, trust your imagination and talent, everything else will work as it should.
Thanks Zumo and Oasis forum we’ve got the Guns.Mp3.
