There's a person with my money already in Argentina, and guess what's that money for. ;)



For what I've read, most of them (argentinians) are scared about the guys that are going to see The Prodigy, they don't like "bumping people" and "punkish people", what a pitty. :P



On the other side, some of them started complaining about the price of the ticket, I haven't said anything yet, but cmon, these tickets are cheaper than anywhere else!

Some of them are going to miss this to save money to see Paul Van Dyk.

Ok, now serious.



I also love the Pro D G because they were the band that brought me the Chemical Brothers, the lords of the mixing desks ;-) . Without them i probably would have never ever got aware of them besides the charts or something. So thank you for that!



Ahm, i think what differs between these two bands is the way they feel music, what is showing up in their tunes, beats and structures. Listening to prodigy beats i often get the feeling they don't much vary, at least in comparison the chems, it's more straight-on-music. Whereas when listening to the brothers it often gives me a more profound feeling concerning the whole structure and shape of one track.

What i love about the chems is the choice of samples, drum kits, and as you all (i guess) these noisy bleeps and sounds which sourround their tracks usually.

One example for the straight on thing i mentioned is "Serial Thrilla". It's got such a nice beat but doesn't go further or deeper, although it has the potential to be more. Maybe 4 eyes see more than 2? Moreover the difference of their private histories flows in the productions i think. What bands and musicians they used to listen to when they were younger. Liam has some punk roots which is hearable in many tunes, what i really like.

These are so many influences! The ones how are making music know what i'm talking about. Paragons, favourites and stuff . . . you know?!



But difference is good, it keeps the world of music pulsating!

Serial is just a "rockish" song.



Want to go deeper?

What can you tell me about The Narcotic Suite (3 Kilos, Skylined, Claustrophobic Sting)?

3 Kilos, very nice song to chill.

Skylined, makes me travel, up to sky and back to earth.

Claustrophobic Sting, I think I don't even have to comment on this one, you just go mad.



The Prodigy doesn't have a "romantic" and "soft" side as the chems have, their songs are always focused on the "energy" and having "fun".



I'm saying all this with "" because that's how I feel the music, I'm not trying to define it.





Besides all this, The Prodigy is the best group and The Chamical Brothers suck arse! Shhhhh, don't say anything, I'm just trying to call the bros attention once again. : P

For some reason I just dumped a whole bunch of Prodigy tunes in my playlist and when I read this I was listening to Narayan, the part with the chant. I think maybe the chems should do something with a chant, but then kinda vocoder it up into a beat and turn it into something totally different. Ok... now I"m just writing random thoughts... :?

You are the one that sux. Charly and Out of Space are class rave tunes.



Here's the life line of both bands:



Chemical Brothers: Big Beat > House > Pop

Prodigy: Rave - Big beat > Electropunk



Chemical Brothers end up producing Britney's new album while Prodigy will be doing a collab album with the remaining Sex Pistols.

Well, we shouldnt turn this into a ''Rip the Piss outta Prodigy Thread..Chems are better''



If prodigy fans are going to slag us off about our prefered music group.. then that just shows how childish they are and we shouldnt stoop to their level. :)



Altho, like i said, and i know alot of people on this forum share the same opinion. I like them both, but i like chems better :D

slipvin your a fool-liam himself said he was turned off the ultra fast speedy hardcore sound(charly/out of space etc) when he heard the chems early tunes which directly influenced tracks like poison/deisel power-their better tunes imo.dont think you could ever say that prodigy had this effect on chems :D .also if you think a collab with remaining sex pistols is a good idea then i cant help you anymore with your musical taste :-//

Fox , nobody is taking the piss outa the Prodge...and no prodigy fans are slagging us off ?! Were did that come from 8O If the prodigy fans say that the Chems are comemrcial , well thats their opinion. It's not an attack on us , the fans.



And i disagree with Sux , i think out off space is a classic rave tune. And what's up with the comparing with Out of Space and that Tom and Ed would never make such rubbish. First off all , Tom and Ed will never top the great songs that the prodge made , and likewise , as they are similair but also have their very own sound...so there's nothing to compare really if you think of it.



And Slipvin...i hope you just smoked a Big J , and thats why you came up with this conclusion :P

I think what Foxy's referring to is in response to what sux says he saw on the Prodigy board - where the Chems are being slagged off.



The only time it's happened here in this thread is by Slipvin, who's just smoked a big phatty and therefore secretly desires a Chems/Britney collab. ;)



He's right about the classic rave tracks - good memories, those are.



Of course this thread has deviated from its original intent which was to draw parallels between both bands. It's just too hard to stay completely on track and not start comparing when everyone's got an opinion, myself included.
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

Out of space is rubbish.sorry i just can't stand this tune anymore. Other than that Prodigy is a quality band (lets forget about AONO for a moment now). Albums like Experience and Dirtchamber sessions are pure beat driven hard industrial albums. Fat of the land was such a exciting and eclectic record. *rolls a joint and listens to Narayan*

I still really like AONO. Don't know why, but it's like a better, grittier Kish Kash (without the serious side two slump). Makes me feel like a thug in my car, too.

Well, trying to stay on topic, and seeing no agretion against me for what I've said about the bros, I'll keep writing.



Both groups come from England, I would say that 90% of the music I like comes from that place and that's just one of the reasons why I would kill to go up there.



Sometimes when I just get to know a new group, and I like it, I say "mmmm... I wonder where they're from, I'll find it out", and yes, England.

Not even knowing where they were from, almost all of them end up beign from England.
