Prodigy - Always outnumbered, never outgunned

Hey - if we want to talk about sell-out MF's lets talk about BT. Is there any product that jackass doesn't endorse???

So, did Liam produced the album for Madonna ?
I don't think so, but William Orbit did produced for Madonna, and i'm shure
he's not as millionaire as Liam. A celebrity millionaire will NEVER advertize
someone elses product for free, and innocent interview it is a commercial ad...

Hey buddy-

I'm not sure what you're trying to say 'cause your english is terrible, but no - Liam refused to do the Madonna album. Which says even more about him NOT being a sell-out. And I'm not even a Prodigy fan. Trust me, I'm not naive when it comes to the music business - I just think that you're being paranoid when you think he was "employed" by Propellerheads to advertise Reason. He took 5 years to make another Prodigy record (he obviously didn't need the money) and how much money do you think the Props had to "buy" a celebrity with? You think Propellerheads needed to advertise in the music community? Everyobody knows what Reason is (and I'm sure everyone has used it, cracked copy or not). And did I think he get Reason for free? FUCK YEAH HE DID!!! You know how many music celebs probably got it for free??? You want to talk about a process being around for years - how many guitars do you think Fender or Gibson gave out to rock stars? How many synths did Bob Moog give away (I know Rick Wakeman had a deal with him)? My point is - do you think a millionaire level musician would just give away all this free publicity for a $1000 software package? They'd have to give him plenty of dough. And why would they pick Liam for publicity? He's not exactly huge in the public eye right now. Why not buy Pharrel or someone who all the kids know right now (those kids being the ones with the most disposable income)? I think you're being paranoid. He just liked the product and used it, and wanted to talk about it in print.

I agree Sinusoid

I just hope Liam manages to wedge the door open and gets back in the real studio before he tries to write the next album.

5inusoid,
I don't know what was the deal between Prodigy and Propellerheads, and it's
not my business, but without any deal Liam wasn't saying that he used Reason,
and what you said in your previous post - can be said about BT and everyone else.
I'm not being paranoid, it's just not my first day in the music business and i
know how things work those days. For a producer, the act of saying on the media
about refusing to produce Madonna's album - it's a huge advertizement that
bumps up album sales, otherway we never knew about his story with Madonna.

p.s. sorry for my broken english.

I like some of BT's music, but yes he defenitely endorses every product under the sun. Flip through an EQ magazine or any music magaziine for that matter and you will see a picture of him with a praise quote right next to it.

Yes, this article was already quoted in this thread. Are you linking it here to try and say Propellerhead has an interview with him on their website - so this proves they paid him a million dollars?

No, they probably paid him a hundred million bucks, and bankroted two weeks later.

As an Oldschool fan of The Prodigy sound, i,like many other big fans were disturbed by Liam's new album. It's ok, in such way that's its a new album.but remember that Liam created THE oldschool sound back in the day, and everytime he made something fresh that inspired a lot of musicians. nowadays a lot of different sounds are made and it's terribly difficult to come with something fresh. well.. he did it in some kind of way, but still the old stuff is indeed nostalgic. BUT, i went to a Prodigy gig in the Heinenken Music Hall in Amsterdam. and i guess that turned my view of the new album. it were really breathtaking to see those guys on stage. even more to HEAR there new album live(allright semi-live). it was totally different,with many unheard material and different mixes of there latest songs. and i guess that evening in december made me relive the prodigy feeling in a new,but less fresh way.

and don't forget those folks are in there 30s! there not as flexible and die-hard as they used to be.
