I still listen to this at least weekly, the album is in my regular gym rotation because
A) it’s hard for me to listen to lyric heavy music and count reps correctly (brain no work good during ugga dugga) and
B) It’s amazing.
fucking awesome.
This had their “hits”/pop vibe. Invaders must die I think a better album, their real sound. But this is 10 years before, and really the same revolutionary sound/music. Was a big shift from their earlier “Everybody in the place” technohouse.
Great album, I slightly prefer invaders must die over it but i’d put it on par with music for the jilted generation for different reasons though (like both complement each other I’d say)
Great music and a innovative piece of history that set us on the course to crab rave.
Great album, one of my favourites.
Where I’m from Narayan was a summer hit in the dance clubs when it came out, although my friends and I were more into Firestarter and Breathe. I venture saying that it helped bridge punk and dance in a big way.It sounds modern, mainly because modern electronic music was so heavily affected by Prodigy
It’s a classic. Back to back bangers. Even some of the more “out there” songs like Narayan. Though there’s barely any albums I don’t like from them. Maybe “Experience” because it’s a little much sometimes. Quite partial to “Invaders Must Die” and “No Tourists” since I grew up with IMD and because NT is their last album before Keith died (RIP)
Invaders Must Die is so good but Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned is another good one, mainly because of Juliette Lewis.
Oh yea lots of bangers on there too. Spitfire, Girls and You’ll Be Under My Wheels are my faves
Wait, that’s not Crab Rave?
One of their top three albums, possibly the best and most cohesive.
I’ve never heard of this but that album art goes so hard, now I have to listen to it
Oh my I envy you
The music in it goes harder than the cover art!
Your lucky day.
you have to come back and tell us what your take is
Downloading now, I will return with hot takes 😎
Okay, back! This album puts me right back into “PS1 game soundtrack nostalgia” and I love it.Its’s a great album to get hype to. Definitely added to my rotation.
It was both trendy in terms of sound and packaging/styling, but the whole album was mixed with such mastery that it was one of the best sounding package I’ve heard until perhaps the mid 2010s. That on its own is incredible, especially in a technologically driven genre.
Awesome album
Certified iridium banger for a reason, without question. My favorite track, voodoo people (pendulum mix) isn’t on this, but I still sing the chant from Narayan. Just as influential as most of the early works of Fatboy Slim, the Chemical Brothers, the Bassbin Twins, the Crystal Method, Fluke, and so many others. The remix album of this is still just as devastating.
Once you heard pretty much any one of these tracks, you knew this was, and probably always would be, the sound for you.
