Out to reclaim electronic music
Print Edition
TWENTY-FIVE years after gate-crashing the British music scene with a furious mix of punk attitude and electronic beats, The Prodigy is not finished with its war on bubble-gum pop.
The Prodigy is offering its latest dose of electronic music — the punchy, aggressive variety and not the mainstream formula that dominates airwaves — with the band’s first album in six years, “The Day Is My Enemy,” which comes out on Monday.
For Liam Howlett, leader of the group from Braintree in England’s Essex county, the sixth album by The Prodigy is a way to take back electronic music.
“I’m not an angry person. But this album is a reaction to what is going around us musically,” Howlett said.
“Electronic music has been hijacked by every type of music possible,” he said. “In every form of pop music, we hear bits of electronic music — the great bits from the underground music.”
The Prodigy stormed onto the scene in the 1990s with adrenalin rush tracks such as “Firestarter” and — controversially — “Smack My Bitch Up.”
