Good album, so many great tracks.
fucking awesome.
It sounds modern, mainly because modern electronic music was so heavily affected by Prodigy
Used to have it on loop while playing doom/quake
Descent for me. This or some kmfdm.
Same but it was Duke Nukem 3D for us!
Don’t forget the Megadeth duke track. Gotta have that in rotation too.
It’s a classic. Back to back bangers. Even some of the more “out there” songs like Narayan. Though there’s barely any albums I don’t like from them. Maybe “Experience” because it’s a little much sometimes. Quite partial to “Invaders Must Die” and “No Tourists” since I grew up with IMD and because NT is their last album before Keith died (RIP)
Invaders Must Die is so good but Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned is another good one, mainly because of Juliette Lewis.
Oh yea lots of bangers on there too. Spitfire, Girls and You’ll Be Under My Wheels are my faves
It makes me nostalgic because it was one of the first CDs I owned.
The first was Jock Jams Volume 2, if you were wondering
If you continued to follow that trajectory you probably have the best album ever made by now.
The last album I bought was Bricknasty - XONGS which I very much enjoy
This might have been my first CD that was bought just for me. 311 would have been another one. I’m very nostalgic because I loved it as a young teenager. It still holds up, too.
Ha! Very funny that you mention Jock Jams Volume 2.
When my wife was in labor with our first daughter, and it came time to push, the album she wanted to listen to was Jock Jams Volume 1.
We just had our second daughter yesterday, we are still in the Maternity ward. Guess what album we listened to during the pushing part of labor? That’s right…
Jock Jams Volume 2.
Fantastic choices. Volume 3 has some good tracks but pales in comparison
Great album, one of my favourites.
Where I’m from Narayan was a summer hit in the dance clubs when it came out, although my friends and I were more into Firestarter and Breathe. I venture saying that it helped bridge punk and dance in a big way.I still listen to this at least weekly, the album is in my regular gym rotation because
A) it’s hard for me to listen to lyric heavy music and count reps correctly (brain no work good during ugga dugga) and
B) It’s amazing.
I think a lot of people don’t realise just how much this utterly shifted the British music scene
Ok there was electronic music before it and after it, but this was Sex Pistols level of ground-breaking at the time
It was the first prodigy album I heard as a kid and it changed my perception of electronic music
Great music and a innovative piece of history that set us on the course to crab rave.
Certified iridium banger for a reason, without question. My favorite track, voodoo people (pendulum mix) isn’t on this, but I still sing the chant from Narayan. Just as influential as most of the early works of Fatboy Slim, the Chemical Brothers, the Bassbin Twins, the Crystal Method, Fluke, and so many others. The remix album of this is still just as devastating.
Once you heard pretty much any one of these tracks, you knew this was, and probably always would be, the sound for you.
Coooommmmmeee plaaaay myyyy game
I can hear this comment
I enjoy it
It was both trendy in terms of sound and packaging/styling, but the whole album was mixed with such mastery that it was one of the best sounding package I’ve heard until perhaps the mid 2010s. That on its own is incredible, especially in a technologically driven genre.
Wait, that’s not Crab Rave?
