Previewed by Tony Coleby, 29/3/11 at the Electric Cinema, Portobello Road.

As far as music films go there’s the rockumentary (Metallica’s Some Kind of Monster) and there’s the concert film (Rolling Stones’ Gimme Shelter). The Prodigy’s World on Fire is a concert film but with a small taster of documentary thrown in at the start. I would personally have loved a few more servings of the backstage world of The Prodigy and after the first few tracks of straight live music, I started to pine for more like a couch potato groping around for more chocolate. But by the time the nostalgic THUMP…QUIET…THUMP of Firestarter begins 6 tracks in, my palette is attuned and I accept it for what is: a non-stop feast of the best of The Prodigy, in all their cinematic glory, all lovingly sound-engineered by Liam Howlett himself. One of the best live bands of the last 20 years, giving you a private concert. With popcorn.

My fellow viewers in the plush environs of the Electric Cinema on Portobello Road weren’t quite up for a rave but it will be interesting to see how cinema-goers will get involved with the ‘concert’ at the Europe-wide one night only launch on Thursday 31st March. If I didn’t have notes to make and it wasn’t so early in the day, and hell, perhaps even if the PR company were handing out something a little stronger than beer and chips, I might have done some crowd-rousing myself. Who am I kidding?

About that intro. Whether you know Milton Keynes or not (what’s to know? It’s got a grid-based road system and an Ikea), you will undoubtedly begin to see what’s coming when we are shown an interview with a middle-aged lady, the chief tourist information officer espousing the variety of leisure activities on offer in the town. Line-dancing and a fantastic range of libraries seem to be the highlights, “Not just in Milton Keynes but right across the whole area.”

This is interspersed with staccato stabs of Mescaline, increasingly loud and increasingly threatening until she's finished setting the scene of a tranquil new town. “We do have the odd bit of trouble with kids but it’s actually quite quiet here...” You know what’s coming… WALLOP the heavy stuff kicks in and we’re into the live music. It’s pretty much a concert from here on in.

Track List
1. Intro
2. Breathe
3. Omen
4. Colours
5. Thunder
6. Warrior’s Dance
7. Firestarter
8. Run With The Wolves
9. Weather Experience
10. Voodoo People
11. Omen Reprise
12. Invaders Must Die
13. Smack My Bitch Up
14. Take Me To The Hospital
15. Everybody In The Place
16. Their Law
17. Out Of Space

Apart from some of the intro showing crowd scenes in Rio de Janeiro and the band discussing Bluey* their alleged beloved clapped out camper van, all of the tracks were recorded at Milton Keynes Bowl at the Warrior's Dance Festival in July 2010.

* Keith: “Other bands have like, big tour busses but this does us.”

The Prodigy’s ‘World’s On Fire’ 31st March 2011

The Prodigy’s World’s on Fire’ film mainly comprises of live footage from their Warrior’s Dance Festival shot on location at Milton Keynes Bowl, their biggest ever solo draw, in the summer of 2010. The film opens as a mini documentary shot around South America during 2009 as the band, consisting of founder Liam Howlett, Maxim, Keith Flint, drummer Leo Crabtree and touring guitarist Rob Holliday discuss what’s required to put a show together as they embark on their latest tour. The trouble with this film is that it’s torn between two realms - documentary town and live footage city, together they don’t sit comfortably and would genuinely work better flying solo. Used together for World’s On Fire and the two briefly jeopardise the other, the direction is not clear, but only briefly. As the footage from Milton Keynes could in no way be eclipsed at all. When you watch the film (which you should) you’ll see why.

What makes World’s on Fire different from what has become an influx in ‘one night only’ live footage films ranging from Foo Fighters to Muse to Green Day, is that whilst watching The Prodigy perform to epic proportions their ear bleeding anthems, including Breathe, Invaders Must Die, Omen and Take Me To The Hospital, the fast paced editing and in some cases, point of view shots from both band and crowd alike, is that you really feel a part of the experience. Literally. My eyes were viscerally violated, A Clockwork Orange style, except I felt entranced under the sheer ferocity, unable to blink for fear I’d miss a snippet of footage. I was captivated by the energy of both band and crowd alike, the interaction between both and their determination to party, and party hard, with a legion of super fans astounding. At one point a circle pit of doom formed, like the fourth circle of hell, fierce and uncompromising. The film completely captures the cataclysmic atmosphere of The Prodigy at their peak, and at many points with such extreme close ups of each members’ eyes, you get the feeling they know this too.

World’s On Fire is fast paced, extreme, and an unapologetic assault into why The Prodigy have annihilated the electronic dance scene over the last twenty years, and for one night only, should not be missed.

In Finland the film will be shown on 19th of April even it says 14th in the official site.

Hopefully they'll show it in Berlin the same date so I could have a chance to see it too...
