Editorial reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Crawling out of the end of the rave scene, the Prodigy's second album went straight in at number one in the charts. All the tracks have the unique stamp of Liam Howlett and the boys, from the hypnotic atmosphere of aggression and attitude on "Poison" and "Voodoo People" to the guitar-driven "Their Law" (featuring the now defunct Pop Will Eat Itself) and the breakbeat tech-house of "No Good (Start the Dance)". One of the few dance acts to retain underground credibility and huge mainstream popularity, Music For The Jilted Generation shows The Prodigy at their best. Any modern music collection seems barren without its presence. --Ed Potton

Where is the forgotten track then?
I'm with the first reviewer 100% plus i give the original album 5/5. Jilted Generation was originaly a 14 track record, which when completed lasted longer than 1 cd could actually play hence the heavily edited version of 'One Love', plus the entire removal of a track called 'We Eat Rhythm'. That track in particular was and still is a classic example of liams talents and really should have been included in this edition, especially as it never made the original cd because of technical reasons. Any half keen prodigy enthusiast has already got all the tracks that are on the second cd. It is a real shame!

The definitive edition
When I first listened to Music for the Jilted Generation in 1994 it was unlike any album I had ever heard. 14 years later there is still nothing which comes close to the intensity, aggression and dark cinematic vision which is contained in every second of this record.

This edition has been remastered and and comes with a second CD of exclusive remixes and live tracks. For me the second CD is a bonus the real excitement came from realising the remastering was far from a gimmick. The album has a new polish which takes it to an even higher intensity of listening. Minor details now leap out with incredible clarity and sparkle with the overall sounds capes feeling even richer and more vibrant than before.

Additionally in the 1994 version of the album the intro to the song "The Heat the Energy" was tagged onto the back of the preceding song "speedway". This was an interesting idea but thankfully the track start point has been edited for this edition and the intro is now part of the main song.

This version of the album only compounds my love for it and seals it as the most original and compelling record I have ever heard.

Timeless Electronica
The young electronica fans of today will never understand the effect that this album had on release. In 1994 this was new in a way that nothing else had been new. To listen to it for the first time was akin to having your ears opened - new sounds, new beats, new rhythms. I defy anyone to find anything on this album that sounds derivative.

14 years on, I still LOVE listening to this album (on vinyl, of course!) from start to finish. It still sounds groundbreaking.

In my opinion, it's the finest dance music album that will ever be made.

Albums don't get any better than this...
I don't know how to find the words for how much i love this album. Its been such a big influence for me and many well known artists out there wouldn't be making music today if it wasn't for The Prodigy and especially music for the jilted generation. Fat of the land is based more on big beat and punkier sounds. This album is all about original techno and rave.

Buy it.
