<div class="IPBDescription">Similar sound to Prodigy?</div> Ok, honestly, I just started listening to Prodigy again. I bought the Fat of the Land album a few years back, and I really liked it. I recently started listening to them again (thanks Fam <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />) And I want to know if there are any other Electonnic groups/artists with a similar sound?

They're not similar, but Royksopp - Melody AM - is a superb album. Also, try Moby (play, and 18).

OttoDestruct · October 2004

For stuff a little more.. I dunno how to say it.... "hard"... try KMFDM. I also suggest Sister Machine Gun, a VERY unknown DJ which deserves a lot more attention.

RuBy · October 2004

I just got back into Fat of the Land too. Here's what I'm listening to as well:

- Propellerheads, very similar in style a little less epic and a little more rap-like
- Fatboy Slim, a little less hardcore but still enjoyable; his new album is quite good - "Palookaville". "You've Gone a Long Way Baby" is a safe choice otherwise.
- Daft Punk, a little more electronic but both albums are pure genius. It makes very good background music as it tends to be a bit repetitive.
- Rage Against the Machine, not really electronic, has a lot of similarities with Prodigy. If you don't know much about them you really should give them a try.

If you want something a little more mellow but still within electronica, check out these guys:
- St Germain, ambient, instrumental, flows very nicely.
- Dimitri from Paris, a great listening experience, very French.
- Air, "Moon Safari" is by far their best album, soft and soothing.

The Crystal method (one of my favorites)
Daft Punk
Infected Mushroom (pretty much techno)
Chemical Brothers (More techno)

I have more but I have to sleep.

Liku · October 2004

If you like the Prodigy, look for anything Drum and Bass/Jungle.

Zel · October 2004

if you love infected mushroom (and i dont see how anyone doesnt) try alien project, and GMS, those three sound very similar.

Sonic Mayhem is similar to prodigy(you can get some songs of theirs free by ripping the audio from your quake2 cd)

Air is very chill, very mellow, its really wonderful to listen to, but quite unlike prodigy.

Sonic Animation are a good old Aussie group <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

My friend has my Fat of the Land cd, great street racing cd.
I even use it if the place where i'm Dj'ing is using a wanna-be-wussy dj cd player thing.

Prodigy has great techno rock songs. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />
That is what they are

Necrotic · October 2004

Aphex Twin.

And Prodigy have a new album coming out soon, I don't know if you have it in the US but here in the UK the BMW 1 Series new advert with the girl on the trike, the foal and the tortoise has an awesome track that is (according to various websites) a track from the next Prodigy album.

Scinet · October 2004

I'd suggest you get acquainted with the following artists:

<b>Needle Sharing</b>
His first album "My Kind Came First" is solid gold, so find it. The new one, called "Switching to Channel Inferno", is absolutely awful. Stay away at all costs.

<b>Venetian Snares</b>
"Doll Doll Doll" is the album to go for. The ones before that are okay, but the newer stuff like "Winter in the Belly of a Snake" and "The Chocolate Wheelchair" are useless gimmick music.

<b>Klangstabil</b>
As odd as it may sound, you might enjoy the new Klangstabil album "Taking Nothing Seriously". Especially the song "Push Yourself".

<b>Sonar</b>
Sonar's entire discography is based on heavy looping and broken rhythmic structures. Good stuff for loud listening.

<b>Tarmvred</b>
The king of broken beats and 8-bit melodies.

<b>Skinny Puppy</b>
The new Skinny Puppy album "The Greater Wrong of the Right" is worth taking a look at. The older albums are for the most part more difficult listening, but in my opinion better.

<b>Synapscape</b>
Way noisier than anything you've probably head before, but a damn good combination of distorted, dirty technoid music and vocals.

Some of this stuff is really off the deep end of the pool but everything new's worth trying, right?

RustySpoon · October 2004

If you like Infected Mushroom, then have a look at Yahel and Astral Projection.

(Infected rules your ponce!)

Oh and btw while on the topic of music, has anyone heard
Infected Mushrooms - Meduzz from the new cd "I'm the Supervisor"?
What other bands make the same kind of music, as in use guitarr, classical insturements and all that?

Talesin · October 2004

TCM, Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Infected Mushroom, DJ Keoki, Aphex Twin.... don't understand how anyone could suggest KMFDM or Moby. While they're good bands (well, at least the former), they have none of the sound that he's looking for with Prodigy.

Have you picked up any older albums yet? Music for the Jilted Generation? The Prodigy Experience? Not quite as 'big' as their recent hit, but you can't argue with songs like 'Jericho', or 'Space'.

Fam · October 2004

There is Orbital, Hybrid, Leftfield, Chemical Brothers, Aphex Twin, all of whom bear some resemblance to Prodigy.

A bit more chilled out (getting closer to my normal listening), there is Chicane, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Plump DJ's.

Speaking of Chicane, <a href='http://www.ets-global.org' target='_blank'>ETS Global</a>'s most recently hosted bittorrent is of Chicane's live performance at Palladium in January of 2000. Like any other bittorrent it puts up, it's legally a free download, so you can try it out to see if you like the style.

esuna · October 2004

I know you're asking over music like the Prodigy, but if you don't have it, you need to get Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned by The Prodigy, it's my personal favourite Prodigy album now.

EDIT: Also, yeah, I'd recommend Aphex Twin, Venetian Snares and Tarmvred. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />
