Liam Howlett & co may have the poison, but they certainly have the rhythmical remedy, yes the Prodigys 1994 release was a cut above all the competition and well worthy of its mercury music prize nomination (although how it did not win is beyond my comprehension), Music for the jilted generation was the follow up to debut album Experience and not only marked a positive step forward from its predecessor but also cemented a winning formula which Howlett would utilise for his next album, the world conquering The Fat of the Land. 'So, ive decided to take my work back underground, to stop it falling into the wrong hands' declares the voice on the brief intro, words which you feel could have spewed from Liam Howletts own mouth, before it jumps into live favourite Break & Enter. The juggernaut beats of Their Law follow and remind us just how powerful the Prodigy really are. The trancey piano/haunting laughter of Full Throttle are followed by single Voodoo People which is regarded by many as one of their best works.
Speedway and The Heat (the energy) mark two very different but welcome angles for the prodigys music before Howlett expresses his frustration at being interrupted by a phonecall on the intro to album defining track Poison, a monster of a track in which Maxim belts out his lyrics with such agression you'd think his life depended on it.
Another single, No Good (start the dance) marks the albums most 'club friendly' moment and arguably its most recognisable. This is followed by One Love, the albums first single, and one which out of the entire album sounds like a bridge between Experience and Jilted.
Jilteds final three tracks, collectively entitled The Narcotic Suite is an eclectic mixture ranging from the underwater sounds of 3 kilos, the stranded on a desert island feel of skylined to the dark bleeps of claustrophobic sting, which for a track which includes what sounds like a fire alarm going off and a baby crying is actually quite mellowing.
Music for the jilted generation may not contain their most well known work when considered alongside Firestarter and Breathe, but as a collective, it stands out as their most varied and ambitious album to date, with not a single bad track on the record, it is a must buy for fans new to the prodigy phenomenon and also to those of the electronic dance genre.
