PRODIGY - ALWAYS OUTNUMBERED NEVER OUTGUNNED





































Prodigy "Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned" Album Review
Not 100% but still ok
After the successful Fat Of The Land, this new album just doesn't really have anywhere near the interest. Fat Of The Land had trippy songs that pushed music to its highest boundaries. Always Outnumbered... on the other hand still has a handful of well developed songs. The best song without a doubt is 'You'll Be Under My Wheels' which reminds me alot of 'One Man Army' off the Spawn Soundtrack. This song is energetic and true to the Prodigy sound and vocals. Also check out the Smokin' Aces Soundtrack for a new Prodigy song called 'First Warning', it is an excellent track and I hope their next album is all in that style.
Another song on Always Outnumbered that is worth mentioning is 'Medusa's Path', now this song is very much like the song 'Narayan' from Fat Of The Land, with its ambient atmosphere that just takes you on a journey into another world. It's impossible to stop this track before it finishes, it's like a nice dream.
Hopefully the next Prodigy album won't have songs like 'Get Up Get Off', that song is not The Prodigy! It sounds like The Black Eyed Peas, and they p!ss me off. 'Pheonix' is a good song though, but there's this one sample in it that p!sses me off a bit (it's a chic saying lalala in a whispering tone). 'Spitfire' is a good song aswell but a bit too long (3 minutes would have been enough. 5 mins is just a bit too much). But one thing's for sure this album is not an epic one like The Fat Of The Land.
I would change the order of the songs aswell as remove some. It would look like this:
1.Spitfire
2.Pheonix
3.Action Radar
4.You'll Be Under My Wheels
5.Wake Up Call
6.Girls
7.Memphis Bells
8.Medusa's Path
9.The Way It Is
10.Shoot Down
Now with Hotride and Get Up Get Off out of the way and the songs in a more listenable order I think this album is almost an epic.
Seriously though, try listening to the songs in this order.

GLOBAL GOON - FAMILY GLUE


































Global Goon "Family Glue" Album Review
freak-funk fantasy
Global Goon has created a freak-funk epic with Family Glue. Those familiar with his work will recognize his distinctively flavored style: the intense emphasis on playful melodies, simple but expertly produced organic drum patterns, occasional and cheeky use of his own voice as an instrument, and funky bass guitar grooves.
If you've enjoyed his other releases, you'll enjoy this one. If you've never given him a shot, check this disc out. Even if you're not an electronica devotee, you're bound to get caught up in the fantasy.
