Old Town Road to EGOT

Some dude on YT deconstructed a few Prodigy tracks figuring out everything that was sampled and how it was manipulated via Ableton. Meanwhile Liam did this poo poo without a DAW.

There's a couple other Prodigy tracks tackled by this same fellow but since it's a Fat thread will leave it at those two.
I saw these a couple years ago and it broke my loving brain.

The Prodigy is the ultimate workout music. You want to get your heart rate up? Listen to The Prodigy. I got into them pretty late, admittedly (around the release of IMD) (though I'd heard a few of their songs before that like Smack My Bitch Up, Firestarter and I seem to remember one of the songs from Always Outnumbered being in one of the old Need For Speed games), but it's insane to me how ahead of their time they were and still are.

Pendulum were one of my favorite bands for a while and they went through a phase where they were straight up trying to be The Prodigy (they even had Liam on a track), but even they couldn't hit Prodigy's highs. Their remix of Voodoo People's loving sick though, and was a blast to see live when I saw them play it in '09:

I wish I could see The Prodigy live one day. I saw Maxim do a DJ set at a festival a couple years ago but it was nothing like I imagine a Prodigy show is like.
