The Prodigy - Drop The Bass (1990-1991 Demo)

[dioptricx]

no, rave :D



[hollidayenchaco]

is this acid house?

[galaxian77]

liam should produce this kind of music only, he has the soul

[darkdefender1]

I had a similar album you don't happen to have a track list do you

[slabymkus]

the comment below is gay.

[FOFIEV]

not only rave but true state of trance (goa)?!.... it doesn't matter, isn't it???? Nevertheless we all have a nirvana state of experience... Anyone can describe it with different words... In fact their I will agree with chillraph that their inspiration was a true evolution!! So,, not only oldschool can we say, but a true trip in 2011... all their albums... In paradox way :))))))

[jollyross]

Fuck sake, I thought he was saying "not the face" the entire track until I scrolled up and actually looked at the title...

[messthetics]

We do have to admit that he did used sample a lot of breaks and synths from house/techno tunes of the era though.

[AnthonyDavid94]

@messthetics Yes indeed. Pretty sure I've heard Orbital samples in his early tunes and Belgian techno, R&S and stuff. But let's keep it a secret lol.

[AnthonyDavid94]

@messthetics Orbital - Oolaa being one of them, one of the many 'hotpants' breakbeats... Some of them pretty obvious. No need to ID 'drop the base!'

[Diddds79]

ok so let me get this right the prodigy was originally a 4 piece band comprising of 2 dancers 1 mc and 1 pa liam howlett being the pa so why are they called the prodigy?

[cutepinkbandanaman]

@Diddds79 Liam had a Moog Prodigy synthesizer.

[Diddds79]

@Diddds79 lol i thought it was because he was such a wizard producer so much so that he transformed dance music hence the prodigy lol im such a dweeb i should have really googled it 1st lol he is good tho, how the hell he comes up with some of his material is unbelievable,i do think the rest of them just ride his band wagon tho cuz maxim is a terrible mc and keith just looks the part and drops a vocal now and then i really cant see where they fit in ?????????

[D3M3l93]

@Diddds79 Liam is definitely the mastermind... I suppose some might misinterpret that Keith has been in a key role with the production, even though he is just a vocalist. But maxim on the other hand... well, we saw the results of Liam going solo with AONO, and at least in my opinion the album was downright horrible. But things started rolling when the trio got together again.

[cjlewis79]

@Diddds79 It was originally Liam (Keys), Maxim Reality (MC), Keith Flint (Dancer), Leeroy Thornhill (Dancer) and Sharky (Dancer). Sharky left by Experience, Leeroy left in 2000. Its been a trio ever since (Tho Liam did a DJ album and AONO, they never broke up). They are named the Prodigy due to Liams love for one of his first boards, The Moog Prodigy.

[Diddds79]

@cjlewis79 hey thanks for the info, i never knew they were a 5 piece group so who is sharky?

[MrJoco1977]

TDK LOl:))))

[datajari]

how much for that actual tape? :)

[v73k1]

Ahhh....the good ol' Moog.

[RICARDOPENIZOLO]

[bommel219]

@SerialThrilla23 oooh yes !!!!!

[MrFolette]

Man, electronic music has come a loooooong way in 20 years.

[Chrisco9YT]

@MrFolette yes, and its not just electronica. It is way more than that. It is THE PRODIGY!!!

[terrabun]

@MrFolette in some ways.. in other ways no, it's just disappeared up it's own arse.

[BreakinpopRG]

[magixmusicmaker01]

fuckin 303 man

[djprosec]

[doediedaan]

where are these tapes from?

[Gonga2121]

Its a demo tape that liam recored. First prodigy tunes are in there

[puffloaf]

Please can you put the whole of both tapes on here please, this is when they were good! The last album was half hearted, almost like liam got half way though it and thought f*%k it, i have the stunning wife and £££ in the bank, i cant be arsed, people will have to do remixes!!

[ValiedTraxx]

the prodigy zajebiste jest :)

[DarkJedi188]

Awesome! I recognize bits and pieces taken from 2 of Prodigy's other tracks: "Androids" and "Pandemonium"

[nettoblaster]

this tune makes me want to buy an RS turbo and cane it round the streets!

[MrBoardslide]

Very random that this song would make you want to do that, but I agree Subie RS' are sweeeeet. So is the song!

[nettoblaster]

nah mate, it's all about the escort + fiesta RS turbo's!

[MrBoardslide]

Ya, guess lots of cars have RS in the title, I should not assume. But are either of those AWD? It snows lots here, need all the grip I can get!

[mjbmedia]

@nettoblaster gotta be a lowered white one tho!

[drpoppabong]

its like wooooooooooooot

[TECHNORAVE10s]

classic rave music....gr8 5*

[djripick]

this one of da realest rave tracks i ever herd he is a teckno master mind of our times by the way im dj ripick and im trying ta get better at making my own teckno tunes

[chillraph]

it's a amasing how liam went from these old sounding synths in his bedroom and became the world greatest producer, in one of of the biggest group ever on the planet, creating a total revolution in sound? this guy developed his musical creativity to an astonishing level, a true evolution

[SpiralSweep]

@chillraph best comment ever

[theoriginalmrsm]

@chillraph : I think that's overstating stuff a bit. Biggest group ever on the planet?  Uh... yeah right. He probably sold 1.5 million records total... certainly no more than 5. So not even close.

[chillraph]

@theoriginalmrsm They sold over 25 millions worldwide, and fat of the land is the fastest selling album of all time (faster than Michael Jackson's Thriller). So shut the fuck up before spiting shit.

[skunkymunky2008]

@chillraph I bet you suck dick for crack xD good comment tho

[Miloun]

@chillraph the best part is that even this old stuff is fucking class.

[MagnitudePerson]

Oldschool, indeed.

[Rapozini]

i keep listening to this over and over again and i cant get tired , awesome one !!!!!

[orionsg8]

yeah, it's even more excellent when mixed appropriately with other tunes... by deft hands and sharp ears....

[p3lux4]

Its a cool music, yeah thats true ,but, if you see its always the same!

[Branflakey]

Btw, GREAT track :)

[Cicikoma]

yes yes yes!

[xmikerx666]

i like this!!!!

[Branflakey]

I'm sorry but what the HELL?! Firstly i don't understand why people do cut and paste but do you seriously think that cutting and pasting some text on a computer will make something appear on your hand or w/e? Jesus.

[mogyesz9]

They are idiots :) Btw its funny how these spams changed during the last few years.

[figolovechild]

i wish i had a fraction of this guys talent!

liam is a genius, a prodigy!

[xerfes]

It's hard work behind it, so get it started right away!

[figolovechild]

i wouldnt know where to start lol

[xerfes]

I recommend you to:

1. choose a simple program like Fruity Loops (you can do good stuff with it, really)

2. Watch some tutorials on the web. I'm sure there is on Youtube

3. Choose some tracks that you do a cover on, just to train your confedence to handle the program.

4. Start playing around with the program and have fun!!

[figolovechild]

cheers will try it

[ZeinMeister]

Ye, i've this FL once it's pretty cool, i just need a lilttle more praticing :p.Btw Oldschool song, awesome.

[MrTheOnlyOne]

its good for having fun, but to become as good as prodigy......u will need more then FL and web tutorials :-)

[hanfbrot]

u need 9 microkorgs :D

[suprafan14lv]

I worship Liam like a god, AMAZING track!

[figolovechild]

im pretty sure he is god lol

[suprafan14lv]

That is why i worship him

[frxvt]

ok I'm also a member of this religion where Liam is the god

[suprafan14lv]

Welcome

[KillingSpreeFreesBee]

NICE!!!!!!!!!

[abSOULuteD]

Imagine this for the boss battles for Streets og Rage haha

[figolovechild]

lol great game. would go well lol

[abSOULuteD]

damn right

[caponetobibobi1]

what is it ???Magix Music Maker!!!!!!:(

[fastertron]

1990 most likely a rigged up atari st with a sampling synthesizer doubt magix music maker was around computers didnt handel internal sounds then just controlled them heh

[515MHz]

liams demo has better sound quity then the experince album lol.

[james2012maya]

nice Rave music!

[Aeonboom]

Fucking LOVE 303!!!! They always managed to get it just right ;)

[enrlke]

Actually Liam always managed to get crazy sounds from everywhere. If you give him a calculator he'll get some lfo from there and filter it, and make a track. Why? cause he's god.

[DubUrbano]

nice shynth.................
