This is the debut album by the prodigy and was released in November 92. This band originated from the rave scene of the early 90’s and started their career played at raves and small clubs.
Their second single, ‘Charly’ got to number 3 in the charts, this gave rave a big step into mainstream music and into the charts. This single sampled the famous saying from the children’s safety ad with the cat and the young boy saying ‘Charly says, always tell your mummy before you go of somewhere’. After it was release many copycat type singles were released, such as ‘Trumpton’, ‘Rhubarb And Custard’ and ‘The Smarties Sesame’s Treet’. Many have said that this explosion of rave tracks into the charts ended the rave scene and as the prodigy’s single was the first of these, they were accused of killing rave.
Other singles released from this album were ‘Fire/Jericho’, ‘Everybody Is In The Place’, Wind It Up’ and ‘Out Of Space’. Many of these single made it into the Top 20 of the charts.
This album does have some great tracks on it and was revolutionary at the time and is still good to listen to.
