Notes

Music for the Jilted Generation is the second album by English electronic dance music band The Prodigy. The album was released through XL Recordings in July 1994.
The album is largely a response to the corruption of the rave scene in Britain by its mainstream status as well as Great Britain's Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, which criminalised raves and parts of rave culture. This is exemplified in the song "Their Law" with the spoken word intro and the predominant lyric, the "Fuck 'em and their law" sample. Many years later, after the controversy died down, Liam Howlett derided the title of the album, which he referred to as "stupid", and maintained that the album was never meant to be political in the first place. The album is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

probably, THE album of my life! Bought on day of release the 4th of July 1994 and up to this day it has not lost one gram of it´s energy and originality. This really pushed the boundaries of electronic music and slammed down the wall between rock and electronic music. Not that it had not been before but not at this level. The departure from their first album was big and strong, although some elements remain, the Prodigy elements. Still their best album up to date. 1994, what a year in music!

There is a recent vinyl release with lacquer cut by MK not yet listed here (probably 2020 like TFOTL reissue cut by MK)

B3 aka “The Heat (The Energy)” isn’t really 4:27 as it says on the record, on my record it does say it is 4:27 and I tested it as I couldn’t be bothered to download it on MP3, I just recorded it on Audacity and it came out as 7:00.560 however this is not accurate because of how quiet it was at the start it was hard to tell when to begin and how far I was into recording the track started (should have been around 0.005-0.150, can’t be that precise 😂) but seriously the running time isn’t 4:27 (well it is but that’s for what I call phase 2) If we are including phase 1 (which we are because it does on the record I have) the running time should be 7:00-7:01

Does anyone else have a copy of this with the Side 4 centre label on both sides of the second vinyl? I do. Is it worth a new release page?

The original XLCD 114 versions of this disc have a smashing mastering dialing in at a DR11. Mine is made in Canada, but it's the same disc as the made in England versions. Oddly enough, some of the international releases had a completely different master struck! I have a 1994 Japanese disc which is a DR8, much louder, and I've also heard the US version from 1995 (Mute) and it sounded the same as the Japanese. I also have the More Music For the Jilted Generation remaster from XL and it dials in at a DR9, but the cool thing about that release is it fixes the bridge error between track 6 and 7 for the very first time. So it seems if the best audio quality is a concern accept no substitute on this one, get an original XL Records release!

Great sounding pressing from start to finish. Bought this copy in the late 90s. Sound of my teenage years. Still have my concert ticket from 1996 in Brixton. So sweaty.
