We know where we're going…" Quote: Yo people ,XL Recordings are celebrating 15 years since the release of our Fat Of The Land album by re-releasing it and to make it special and give it weight we got behind it and got some killer new remixes done
'We got behind it and got some remixes done'.. 'I don't want those remixes either'.
hmm Ah well don't care about this album re-release anyway, I like the Noisia remix but all I want is new Prodigy music and more tour dates!

Liam's talking shit, he gets cash too and why tweet your support then? trying to distance yourself but still supporting it? I'm sure if he didn't have any involvement he would of been on the phone to Richard Russell telling him to remove his name from it all

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
They also played bits of the Noisia SMBU remix on their live set.

Liam is taking this band for a ride....This remix album is shaping up to be completely shite, noisia remix is redeeming though...

Guess what, the band don't care about this release. Any promotion I've seen has been from the remixers and XL.
Liam is a liar, that has been a well established fact. I'm still gonna buy the album.
Everyone will too.

Great to see Liam's side of the story. I've decided I will buy the original version of the album.. Only remix I like is the noisa one. Fuck that.

MJ's mix is not as bad as I imagined, since it's by diplo. the beginning is awful and the whole track would've been much better with switch on it as well. just a cash in for diplo stating himself as major lazer
bauuer remix could've been much better, such poor use of samples
noisia remains the best one.... others not mentioned are pure crap. never heard a decent remix of breathe which is a shame, it's such a powerful track. but maybe that's the thing..

Quote: The band have handpicked a group of artists to remix key tracks off the album with Noisia, Alvin Risk, Zeds Dead, Baauer, The Glitch Mob and Major Lazer all on remix duty.
Probably alrdy known, but its an addition to the rage train

was able to get my hands on a copy of the Alvin Risk remix, but it's only in 128kbps
it's alright... still sounds like he just threw Firestarter samples over an already made track
and pretty much that glitch electro dub sound that's popular these days
i've heard the term complextro being thrown around

There is a very good dubstep remix of breathe out there by Numbernin6, but if you don't like dubstep you will think it's garbage.
