Mettete insieme un genio, un pazzo, e due ballerini, tutti quanti imbottiti di droga. Prendete un periodo particolarmente interessante quale la metà degli anni novanta, fatta di gente veramente incazzata con il mondo, che non aspettano altro che qualcuno dia il via per scatenare l'inferno e mandare a farsi fottere tutto quello che gli gira intorno. Bene. Poi dategli in pasto questo cd. Ecco. E ora state a guardare come la gente può devastarsi e farsi del male fisicamente e mentalmente in un colpo solo. Come distruggere il proprio cervello e portarlo a una morte celebrale il più in fretta possibile.
Un cd che ti indurisce i nervi del corpo e ti fa ingrossare le vene del collo, facendoti arrivare poco ossigeno al cervelletto. La nuova generazione, ho potuto constatare, che manco li conosce i Prodigy. Ma chi non ha mai ascoltato almeno una volta "Firestarter" ? Basta questa canzone per autodistruggersi. E chissà quante persone si sono distrutte all'epoca (sottoscritto compreso), ad esempio, a giocare a un certo giochino uscito nel "2097" su una certa console grigia, con sottofondo la versione strumentale di questa canzoncina rilassante. "Breathe". Altro che respiro. Questo è un gran bello sputo in faccia. "Smack My Bitch Up". Scaricatevi il video e abbattetevi moralmente (perchè videoclip così non li ha mai fatti e non li rifarà mai più nessuno). Poi "Diesel Power", "Serial Thrilla", "Climbatize"... insomma.
Un cd da possedere, da proteggere con tutto il corpo e da tenere con cura reverenziale. Perchè lavori come questo, che hanno fatto storia all'epoca, ne devono ancora uscire. E chissà mai se ne riusciranno. Soprattutto quando bisogna aspettare più di sette lunghi anni prima di rimettere le mani su un lavoro di questo gruppo.
Sapere che comunque loro sono ancora li fuori, da qualche parte, è già abbastanza. Per continuare a sognare e ad aspettare... e aspettare... e aspettare...

03 Diesel Power (04:17)
Yo, I used to check out lyrics upon the format
Build with skill with technique. Computer A-DAT
My lyrical form is clouds on your brainstorm
I get hyped think thought flow. Acrobat, sink the track, pump the track
Dance missions,clubs like spores react by. Strong visions
And hurrying more. Reflects on the dancefloor
Flow it up and having now people showing up
Packing crowds jam packed venues
Needles collapse, while atmosphere continues
Sprinkle that,
Winnin' like that, movin'like that, hittin' like that
The melody is phat
Yeah, I'm on the energy source
The cosmic force
With Prodigy
Kicking astrology
My intellect's the power
With Diesel Power
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fanta..
We spin back rewind. Diesel Power
Blows your mind drastically, fantasically
It has to be, automatically
Check it out. You better work it out
Change to another route
My techniques, strategies, abilities.
I leave cords of mikes hanging like spring leaves
You would try so fast. Beyond the human eye
Lyrical tactics, vocal gymnastics
E's and pepped up
You get swept up
Smacked up, backed up, your crew's all cracked up
Checking flow
Quick choose quick
You can't stick
My medical brain's a stranger's angles
You get tangled. Twisting side effects us
Channels repeat, complete. Can't compete
Check that our texture
Mind adventure
Exploit the point
It attracts to devour
My intellectual seed
With diesel power
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Blows your mind drastically, fanta...
Back attack
And wack patch you're faxing me
You don't want none
High quality acts should be still standing
Damaging your other manic
Quick reverse
Potent as the first verse
My amplifier blows on your world's higher
World's sire
Cuts like a barbed wire
Record player
I pull up on you every day
Fast forward
I move And I swings forward
Exit load
Put your brain in right mode
Selected mix
The man with perfected fix has lightly bite me
Copy zimmer. Cops' handblocks
You can't knocks some out there
I've been lifting, shifting, persisting
Intelligent kingpin
Keep the strategy
As I roll with Prodigy

If you believe the western sun is falling down on everyone
If you break it free and the morning's come
If you would now your time has come
If you believe the western sun is falling down on everyone
And you feel it burn, don't try to run
And you feel it burn, your time has come
And I feel it
You feel another energy and I feel a power growing
You feel another energy and I feel a power grow
You feel another energy and I feel a power grow
If you believe the western sun is falling down on everyone
If you break it free and the morning's come
If you would now your time has come
If you believe the western sun is falling down on everyone
And you feel it burn, don't try to run
And you feel it burn, your time has come
I feel it!
You feel another energy and I feel a power growing
You feel another energy and I feel a power grow
You feel another energy and I feel a power grow

You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter.

I'm the bitch you hated, filth infatuated-yeah.
I'm the pain you tasted, well intoxicated.
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter,
You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter.
I'm the self inflicted, mine detonator-yeah
I'm the one infected, twisted animator.
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter,
You're the firestarter, twisted firestarter.
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter,
Starter... starter... starter...

"IO HO SENTITO IL TOCCO DI DIO"
"10 canzoni, 10 pietre miliari, 10 sigilli."
Di DeAnonymous
Ogni volta che metto questo disco nello stereo mi viene voglia di ballare, come un pazzo.
Questo è un disco che spacca tutto.
Di KrYsTaL
Smack my bitch up ti travolge, le urla roche del gran maestro di cerimonie Keith Flint irrompono a violentare la tua tranquillità.
Un discone dei Prodigy, uscito nel momento giusto, post-prodotto in maniera sublime e senza dubbio un capolavoro a suo modo.
Di GATTINATOR
L'opera omnia dei "Prodigy"! L'apice del gruppo musicalmente e artisticamente.
Quel granchio racchiuso in quella copertina è stato l'emblema di una Londra in decadenza e della rivolta giovanile underground che ha fatto il giro del pianeta.
Di kaisar
"Smack My Bitch Up è a mio parere uno dei brani più riusciti di questo gruppo."
"Firestarter mi fa un po’ storcere il naso: valeva proprio la pena di addentrarsi in un tipo di techno così spinta?"
