Advantages: Original, innovative, classic Prodigy
Disadvantages: Some tracks are a little lengthy with much of the same stuff

This was the debut album of The Prodigy that was released in 1992 by XL Recordings. The album is truly the groups most innovative work and many of the tracks have themes running through them that are rather random, yet kinda humerous and remind some of old adverts (Charlie - "Charlie says always tell your Mummy before going off somewhere"). The tracks can be viewed as similar in places, but on the whole they all have a distinct difference and I ...

...peak of British musical acts and popular culture. The three singles lit up the British charts, with 'Firestarter' and 'Breathe' especially redefining what dance could sound like, and enticing rebellious kids in their droves. The group themselves had redefined their image, with Flint obviously shaving and colouring his bizarre hair as well as having antisocial facial piercings to create a rather intimidating vocal and visual presence.

Advantages: A great look at the influences of The Prodigy
Disadvantages: This won't please their new commercial fans

...the pretence of 'Prodigy presents Dirtchamber Sessions Vol.1' with the idea that there would be further releases, unfortunantely the new fanbase that had heard the infamous Firestarter and Breath tracks did not seem to keen on The Prodigy showing where their musical roots originally layed when they were a little younger and showing off what music they liked off the stage. Sadly further releases had the plug pulled on them... Look at this album as ... Read review
