or on the forum on the official site.
Liam sent a mail to explain the atmosphere of the album and the release.
Of course we can not believe him, but if he won't release the album this time i think it will be the end of the prodigy.

The Prodigy will release their new album, "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned", in August, according to reports.
Seven years since the release of "The Fat Of The Land", the long-awaited record is now finally believed to have been completed in preparation for a late summer release.
LAUNCH was amongst an audience of music media at a playback of material from the new album at the end of the week, as tracks such as "Girlz", "Get Up Get Off", "Wake Up", "Ice" and "1965" were unveiled to press.
We can confirm that the tracks suggest an aggressive, industrial electro blueprint of vicious quality, bearing the handprints of Liam Howlett's familiar production.
However, none of the tracks seem to feature either Maxim or Keith Flint, the remaining members of The Prodigy, with many tracks featuring looped vocal samples.
Speaking in a new interview with fansite nekozine.co.uk, Howlett confirmed that "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned" is virtually a solo project.
He said: ?Like "Jilted?" ("Music for the Jilted Generation"), Keef and Maxim weren?t involved musically and they are not on this album.
However, Howlett continued: ?ALL 3 of us will be together to do what we do and play this record live and rock it later in the year, we can't f*kin [sic] wait!?
In the interview, Howlett confirms the album is completed and concludes: "This album is about reminding people what the Prodigy was always about - the beats and the music.
"The vocals on this record are mostly used as an extension of the sound rather than the main focal point.?

Forget 50% try 90% the guy who interviewed liam for the propellerheads site said that during the interview he was trying to get liam off the subject of reason as it was'nt meant as a promotion of reason and when he eventualy got him to admit that he still uses his synths for the basslines he then went on to say that he then shoves them back through reason via the dr rex anyway! Apparently practically all the sounds were made in reason apart from the bass and obviously vocal with reason being rewired to protools for processing and mixing but most if not all the sound design was done in reason not suprising it's a fantastic tool :)

i def prefer reason to fruity loops, but i couldnt use it on its own, i alwys use it rewired to cubase.
yeah, although liam uses reason to write his tracks, i betr there all individually sent out through an outbaord desk and processed to fuck - still, i'd be very interested to hear what he's come out with - i do like reason, it's got some good stuff in it, but im not into that subtractor synth and the samplers are pretty cack as well. and most of the effects while im moaning about it ;) :)

ok cool.
tbh ive not used the FL studio versions that much, so i can't really give you an opinion on this.
your soundcard is well up to the job, as is your computer.
ASIO stands for Audio Streaming Input Output. Whats this does is make the latency much smaller. (latency is the time it takes from when you press a piano roll key to the sound coming out - with ASIO it should be pretty much instant. if it's not it's a pain in the a$$ - in your 'audio options' folder there should be an option to choose which soundcard drivers your using - make sure you've got the ASIO selected)
the good thing about fruityloops studio is you can use VST instruments and effects -which is cool, you can't do that in reason. it also supports direct loading of audio files (.WAVS) which you can't do in reason.
the main downside is that it uses a lot of step-sequencing, which a lot of the conventional sequencers such as Cubase SX or Logic don't do - there more piano roll based.
so, if you were thinking about upgrading to getting some hardware and using external MIDI and were going to move onto Cubase SX or Logic i would def recommend reason as a springboard before taking the plunge to see if you liked it.
if your quite happy using fruityloops, like the sequencer and don't want to invest in any hardware (synths/mixer/external effects) in the future then i'd be inclined to stick with fruityloops. do you use a lot of audio in your tracks? if you do then def don't get reason, because you can't import wavs directly, you have to do it through there samplers, which i personally think are a bit poo.
hope this helps and isnt just annoyingly confusing - hit me with any questions if you want. :)

Can't see that happening if he's not using a Mac.
He put on a turn-down collar, a black bow, and wore his Sunday tail-coat. As such, he looked spruce, and what his clothes would not do, his instinct for making the most of his good looks would.

why not? you can still get it for the PC, it just wont be subject to any further upgrades - so, yeah i wouldn't recommend it, but it's not like he can't.
it's handy if you want to learn Logic so if you are in a situation where you have to use a mac with Logic you know how to use it (and they are very, very simillar, the mac and the PC versions).
it can only be a good thing learning as many sequencers as possible - makes you more flexible.
