Stone Age Prodigy


Twelve years ago the Liam Howlett-masterminded Prodigy released their massive worldwide break-through album The Fat of the Land, bringing rave and techno to the mainstream for the first time. That very same year, the young guitarist from the recently defunct desert stoner band Kyuss started slowly building a new musical adventure that would be known as Queens of the Stone Age. Now, a decade and change later, Josh Homme's Queens are hugely successful, not to mention his newer notoriety with rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures. The Prodigy, although still huge overseas, have cooled a bit here in America in recent years. Fortunately for us, the two acts still share a mutual admiration. The Prodigy recently released an all remix album of tracks from their recent Invaders Must Die album, and the two Mr. H's, Homme and Howlett, got together to remix the track "Take Me To The Hospital."

As a defining element of the late 80's-early 90's "Madchester" scene, his band The Stone Roses created a unique fusion of alternative rock, psychedelia and most of all, hot dance grooves that probably has not been equalled since. Six albums into his solo career, Brown's voice still sounds as fresh and young as it did a couple decades ago, and he is still making music with those same three magical ingredients. Although his latest album "My Way" is a bit uneven, there are more than a few moments of glory to be found. One of those moments is the upcoming second single, "Just Like You." Bringing the glory up a few notches is none other than The Prodigy's main man Liam Howlett, who has done a tasty electronic remix drenched in stabs of synth-strings.

"Just Like You (Liam Howlett's Hospitalized Remix)" is here:
