Whirly, I'm bringing up the crossover aspect you mentioned. Back last spring when working sunday mornings at HMV I threw in the bside disc of there their law compliation album. My supervisor at the the time was a huge metal fan, which I will never understand. Anywho, throwing it on he came up to me and started saying that this was familiar and he finally clued in that it was prodigy. We talked about them for a little while before opening while doing stock. He talked mainly about how they were the only electronic act that he could get into due to there similarites with metal. This also included the Pendulum remix of Voodoo people where we mashed out in the middle of the empty store.
I also got an teenage emo employee hooked on them just as I was leaving. He was already starting to head the more electronic route with old DFA 1979 stuff and Mindless Self Indulgence (He got me back into old Atari Teenage Riot stuff).
Also, I enjoyed the Back to mine that he put out back in 06. That got me listening to old Straglers stuff and *gasp* heaven forbid.....Dolly Parton!!! It was nice to see an influence album from him.
