Nah. Glitch Mob's and Noisia's are the only good mixes in there and still sound good.

All of these remixes have aged badly already. That Baauer one is embarrassing, like when Liam asked Audio Bullies to completely fuck OOS up.

Actually listened to that remix yesterday. I fucking cringed.

Hit the nail on the head. :lol:


I miss the big beats. Nowdays dance music sounds like a porn soundtrack to hear drinking a martini.

Haha this album doesnt even have b-sides like the Trick? Whats the point in buying this if i got the regular album then, unless i want to hear the remixes or want a cool cover to show that im a Prodigy fan?

What a weak album. Really REALLY weak.

As I'm into my particular Prodigy revival (every time they are about to release new music I revisit their old stuff) and I gave these 6 tracks a new listen.

Nosia's remix is really good, Zeds Dead is not that bad (3/5 tune). The rest are fuckin' AWFUL, specially Alvin Risk's.

Probably this is their worst release ever. A legendary album with a flawless production, 10 songs that defined 1997, an era dominated by The Prodigy where Liam was enjoying his most creative period...and the XL crew just release this pile of shit, it's UNACCEPTABLE.

The amount of tunes that could have been released from back in the day is unbeatable (Monkey Mafia's remix, Rock n Roll, Smack My Bitch Up 1996 live version with alternate female part, etc...).

Didnt Liam say something about them being dumb and a cancer?

1. It got called More Fat Of The Land before they changed it because they knew that they couldnt market it like that.

2. Double CD as a celebration for the classic album. Hearing that will make any Prodigy fan cum.

This is atleast what it should have been:
1. Breathe (Edit). 2. Firestarter (Edit). 3. The Trick. 4. Molotov Bitch. 5. No/One man army. 6. Headshock. 7. Rest will be the new remixes.

Wow, what a shame. I am still wondering today wether i should buy it or not, cause im a Prodigy collector. Even the cover is shit, photoshoped crab.

Should i get it? Is there anything else, like a book of pictures or the Prodigy single videos on it?

Even as a collector, I think sometimes you should be able to recognize when a product is shit, and be able to restrain from temptation

I kinda regret buying the IMD deluxe box set - which I bought only for the Lost Beats EP. I wonder if it was really worth it. But for this release, I think it's a good time to just tell XL:

"fuck it! I'm not buying"

The cover was indeed pretty shit, it looked like a bootleg. The re-release was a wasted opportunity.

i too totally skipped this. as mentioned above, massive missed opportunity here...and looks like a total XL cash in. It would have been great to hear some of the unreleased stuff from the era, including that track with Skin, plus the bsides and rarer mixes like the dirtchamber version of Diesel..

i was hoping XL would do an anniversary edition for AONO back last year...theres tonnes of unreleased stuff they could have used on there. personally would like to hear more of the stuff from that AONO bonus video thing on the Their Law dvd..memphis bells demo sounds raw!!

Yeah, the cover is shit! I hate when re-releases changed the original cover. At least on the booklet should be the original cover.

But the best thing should be if this edition has the original planned cover with that gyros or what the fuck. It's much better fitting to the album's sound than a crab.
