Remarkable albums from the past…

‘Music For The Jilted Generation’ by THE PRODIGY
Released: 4 July 1994 – Debut longplayer

BBC review: “It was their chart-topping 1996 single, “Firestarter”, that first took up lighter and aerosol and burnt the name of The Prodigy, and the piercing-covered gurn of Keith Flint, onto the national consciousness. But if you want to mark the point this gang of Essex ravers first learnt to unite the chemical rush of acid house and the anti-authority attitude that had hitherto been the preserve of black-clad anarcho-punks like Crass and their ilk, not loved-up glowstick twirlers, look back a couple of years to their 1994 album ‘Music For The Jilted Generation’.”

TURN UP THE VOLUME! says: Anti-establishment techno punk for illegal 24 hour-parties.

Eleven Killer Tracks played on repeat in JULY!
A crazed cocktail of ace rippers and filthy grooves
activating all my senses and limbs this past month!
Here’s Turn Up The Volume‘s Knockout July Team!

.
1/ ‘Need Some1’ by THE PRODIGY (UK)
A razor-sharp firestarter, a striking steamroller, a sweltering smack, a jigsaw whack!

Despite the European heatwave you’ll dance yourself gaga when hearing this swirling electro banger storming out of your boiling speakers. Sickly exhilarating! Hot stuff!

3/ ‘Gyrate’ by BODEGA (New York, NY, US)
Texan misfits Parquet Courts‘ spiritual punk kids turn Talking Heads into a barbed wire funky, nasty-mouthed shout & scream act. From their ace debut LP Endless Scroll.

4/ ‘Remind Me’ by DENTIST (Asbury Park, New Jersey, US)
Amplified pop firework with an instant impact on all of your nerves in your uncontrollable body. Exciting, invigorating, and big fun! From the band’s excellent LP ‘Night Swimming.

5/ ‘Lose Your Head’ by NOVA TWINS (South East London, UK)
Tempestuous electro beats, fat grooves, metallic guitars, in-your-face vocals and a smashing chorus. Result: a ruthless slam dunk that will pump up your adrenalin’s flow.

7/ ‘The Sleepwalkers’ by FACTORY SECONDS (London, UK)
Rousing guitars, mesmerizing female/male vocals and a pushing rhythm section turn
this dynamic corker into a sprightly stroke, impossible to resist. Dazzling performance!

8/ ‘Crazy Kids’ by WALTER LURE & THE WALDOS (NYC, U)
Former member of Johnny Thunders‘ 70s Heartbreakers and his gang go totally apeshit on their new killer single. A nasty punk outburst fueled with filthy Sex Pistols riffs. New album ‘Wacka Lacka Boom Bop A Loom Bam Boo‘ out next month. Get your safety-pins ready, folks.

9/ ‘Butterfly’ by THE BLACK DELTA MOVEMENT (Hull, UK)
Ominous, magnetic and intoxicating. Smells like devilish spirit to my ears. This feverish journey goes on like forever. An electrifying and trippy mindfucker with a boiling finale.

10/ ‘Destroyer’ by LALA LALA (London/Chicago)
Its infectious swagger and flamboyant chorus turn this affecting song into a sonic
stand out. Lala Lala launches her new, second album ‘The Lamb‘ on September 28.

‘Music For The Jilted Generation’
THE PRODIGY
Released: 4 July 1994
Their second LP

BBC MUSIC wrote: “Recorded against the backdrop of the Criminal Justice Act, the 1994 legislation that effectively criminalised outdoor raving – ‘How can the government stop young people from having a good time?’, reads a note on the inner sleeve – Music… simmers with righteous, adrenalised anger, rave pianos and pounding hardcore breakbeats augmented by gnarly punk guitar, wailing sirens and on ‘Break And Enter’, the sound of shattering glass. At
no point is this merely a band coasting on edgy vibes and bad attitude, though, rather, this
is a record that saw Prodigy mainman Liam Howlett maturing as a producer, increasing his palette of sounds and instruments without diluting The Prodigy’s insolent rush, and simultaneously smash ’n’ grabbing from a diverse range of influences that would be neatly integrated into the band’s design.” Full review right here.
