DJ Slipmatt* & DJ Sy - United Dance Volume Four
posted a review of DJ Slipmatt* & DJ Sy - United Dance Volume Four. over 19 years ago
This for me is the worst of the United Dance compilations. It's a bit too Toytown-cheese (Steam Train, Party Time) and though there are some great tunes on here, it just doesn't seem to sit well with my ears.
Definite shift from the first 3 UD comps... See full review

Liam (The Prodigy) rates his remix of 'Retribution' as the worst thing he has ever released (he hated the original too). He only remixed it because he had become friends with Jon from TTF.
The Prodigy - No Good (Start The Dance)
posted a review of The Prodigy - No Good (Start The Dance). over 19 years ago
When making this tune Liam wasn't sure whether to use the Kelly Charles vocal sample as he though it might make it sound to euro-poppy. He used it, but said that this was the last tune he would make that would use this kind of female vocal.

In the official Prodigy Biography, Liam has said that in retrospect he now wishes that 'Full Throttle' had been the A-side of this release, not 'One Love'. He feels that 'Full Throttle' was more indicative of the style the Prodigy were going for at... See full review
