Hi Sordidman,

I think that Ian's suicide serves as harsh punctuation to the message of his music... Of how personal and authentic his vision truly was.

He was living the grim nightmare that the music evokes.

The "enhancement" ,as you describe, is both ironic and chilling... But I must agree.

Prodigy strikes me more as a reflection of a marginalized subculture... born out of hostility. A dark side of the mainstream "hippy-type" rave scene... combative and atavistic.

That said, I think Prodigy's The Fat of the Land is among the best of its genre (I guess: Electronica?) along with material from Orbital, The Crystal Method, and Underworld.

Regards,
SF
