I have a gas engineer I know called Keith who services/fixes boilers for me.

Have been using him for years. Without fail, every time I see him I sing 'I am the fire starter'

Think he may of laughed the first time.

I agree, I've never invested time since Fat Of The land, although it's an album that really grew on me and unlike Experience and Jilted Generation it hasn't aged.

Some of the drum sequences on there are insane. [Link] 7:07 onwards

I still consider it their 'later stuff', despite being released in '97. I wish the album ended with Climatize, but it ended with Fuel my Fire, which just confirmed that our musical tastes had evolved in different directions. Jilted will always be the one for me.

No humour in my post. Maybe you misquoted someone else.

I disengage, I turn the page.

On their live performances Maxim is the far more dominant front man than Keith, it's just he was the face of their most iconic single so is perceived as the main guy. Line ups change, hopefully they'll carry on

I had considered that myself, that this won't change their sound much if they carry on. As a front man though, he was a real presence.

a lot of people only know about them from the firestarter days, which is a real shame.

if you havnt heard it, search out “the experience” album, literally the prodigy had a huge influence in shaping the jungle scene.

one of my favourite albums of all time, stands out as one of my prized gatefold vinyl albums that i am utterly proud to own.

RIP Keith, you introduced me to bass music, and for that, i am forever grateful.
