Yeah man, it was. The thing just wasn't in my sentbox so I was confused.

First Warning

First Warning may be a little underwhelming as an instrumental, but you should hear the thing live with vocals... it's amazing. In fact, all of the AONO tunes that were reworked for the live performance knock your socks off. They just need to be less hasty about releasing material before it's fully done, which they're doing right now. Next Prodigy album is due in early '08.
To hear the difference between rushed and perfected, compare Spitfire and Spitfire (2005 edition) off the single.

And prodigy live is just awful. Don't believe me? Get the dvd, i did and was greatly disapointed. WTF is wrong with the on stage? It looks like their having some kind of seizure. Shit! I love their music but come on. ^_^
I haven't seen them live, but I know a few people who have and all reports have been good. I hear the energy is insane and agressive, and it's infectious. From what I've read and heard from friends, it sounds like their gigs are part punk slam pit/techno rave party no holds barred.
Prodigy hasn't done anything in years that has interested me, but I wouldn't say "no" to seeing a live show. I'd just have to stay out of the mosh area because I'm gettin' too old for that shit. :lol:

Prodigy live is definetly one of the best shows I've ever been to. Saw them the day after the Chems at Coachella '05 and they were nothing short of amazing. I was crammed up in the first five rows and it was one of the most mental experiences I've had. I was stone sober but was collecting a major contact high off all the crazy speed and E freaks all around me. Great show, would definetly see them again.
While FOTL is definetly the more important and influential album, I'll instead listen to AONO usually if I'm in a Prodigy mood. Haven't heard the new tune yet.

@Prochem - You don't actually experience anything live by watching a DVD. I find it's a great reference for any show you've been to, but other than that, they are two different experiences.
I was at the same show DarkStar was at, and Prodigy... absolutely... fucking... rocked.
I've seen them twice now, and I'd see them again in an instant.
And I was enamored with only a few tracks from AONO, but only those few tracks. Artistic progression was neutral.

Yes, I agree that really only half of AONO was really anything you'd want to listen to multiple times. Hot Ride, Girls, etc. Were good and catchy. I'm really excited about the next album, I'm kinda dissapointed that it's set for '08 now, last I heard it was sometime this summer.
