New Prodigy Album To Feature Oasis

added 10 June 2004 at 14.23

Its expected to be confirmed next week that the new Prodigy record 'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned' will feature a collaboration with Oasis' Liam and Noel Gallagher. The band have also confirmed the release date for the record and hinted at an extensive Prodigy tour in the autumn.

'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned' is pencilled in for an August 23 release and is reported to be a star studded affair with guest appearances from Noel and Liam Gallagher, Princess Superstar, Kool Keith, Twista and, as already announced on Xfm Online, actress Juliette Lewis.

While not involved in the recording of the album, Maxim and Keith Flint are both reported to be joining Liam Howlett on an extensive Prodigy tour rumoured for the Autumn.

As previously reported, the album is set to feature the tracks 'Girlz' (which will be the first single released August 30), 'Get Up Get Off', 'Wake Up', 'Ice', '1.9.6.5', and 'Hotride' featuring actress Juliette Lewis on vocals.

Speaking to fansite nekozine.co.uk about the new record, Liam Howlett explained that the new album is a return to the band's dancier roots.

"The new Prodigy album is finished! We got 11 possibly 12 fist in the air traks [sic]. It sounds sinister, electronic, trashy, sexy and fresh to my ears. This album is about reminding people what the Prodigy was always about - the beats and the music. The vocals on this record are mostly used as an extension of the sound rather than the main focal point."

"Like Jilted ['Music for the Jilted Generation' Prodigy's 1995 album], Keef and Maxim weren't involved musically and they are not on this album," he explains, "All 3 of us will be together to do what we do and play this record live and rock it later in the year, we can't fukin [sic] wait!"
