The Prodigy – Everybody In The Place

Remember pre teen metal fan I was hearing rave music on my brothers car radio for the first time. I’m pretty sure it was The Prodigy. At the time my reaction was beyond repugnance. I didn’t know even what the music was… it was so alien! Lol less than half a decade later I’ve got a pair decks 🤣. F’kin love The Prodigy. Experience is pure punk

Maybe totally coincidental, but "Everybody In The Place" has the same C-G-A#-F chord as The The "Uncertain Smile"...

"Everybody In The Place" first feature on "What Evil Lurks" & needs little introduction seeing the huge tune it became, the great thing about the Prodigy release was always the other little gems on their release & this 12" doesn't disappoint, just have a listen, its the same on "What Evil Lurks" & "Charly", have listen, a mix track fantastic tracks & future releases.

I will never forget the week I bought this EP! I had to listen to it over an over on my headphones, thinking that music like this wasn't possible. I made a mix tape with it. One day I was riding around with my new GF, and we got tired of the Grunge and other stuff on the radio. I then told her that I felt like listening to "Some Techno". She looked confused at first, and the told me to "Put the tape in". We lost our teenage minds cruising around while the sun set. Liam Howlett is a keyboard and production genius.

I'll never fully forget seeing/hearing them perform this track live in late '91 or early '92 in NYC's Limelight club as a 24 yo clubkid...I believe they were 1 or 2 white guys with long, stringy hair, 1 or both of them wearing old skool roller skates while dancing side by side doing the coolest dance moves & crazy legs skate moves all while singing the lyrics of the song with the outta control beats booming, flashing white strobes made them appear even cooler in Limelight's main dance room, the crowd and myself were enthralled!! Killer flashback for me all these years later, well done show Prodigy!! These guys meant business and unleashed the groove on us!

the fairground mix was in the supra review in the last top gear episode lol

Some reviews are making me giggle a little . Some thinks the early works from Prodigy is "new" well it isn't since it was late 80's and 90's which their last great album being "The Fat of the Land"

This Record by the name of "Everybody in the Place" is pure Rave and the real best tracks are "G-Force" & "Rip up the Sound System" . Whereas the track "Everybody in the Place" is more enjoyable to watch the crazy Video Clip on YouTube .

Also what is sad is that since Keith Flint passed away some people are playing that trick to put expensive prices to sell Records/CD's i don't call it respect to the man named Keith and to the Band Prodigy either . Yet in stores you still can find their first 3 albums for a friendly price 7.99€ and new from XL .

Last i so miss those times 1985-1998 were all was simple, music was to listen at and the hell with collector items . Going to nightclubs was pure joy and fun getting at times free goodies ( promo copies signed from some artists , magazines, t-shirts and what not ) . Going to DJ stores whole afternoons listening to new Records having a free mix done by the vendor or having the chance to have a DJ entering the store and start mixing for us .....yeah all that today will never exist anymore because people are too greedy and the money ruins everything .

GREAT SINGLE

i remember i bought this single in a record shop as a 10 year old boy and then i thought it would be better to buy the EXPERIENCE album and they gave me back my money

"G-Force (Energy Flow)" is to me more or less the quintessential hardcore track: hard as nails, deep, complex and yet funky and uplifting!
