  • We Say...

    UK rave in the early '90s was a heady, febrile rush of reconstituted kiddie korn and hip-hop sped up to lightning speed, and few producers captured its essence better than the Prodigy's Liam Howlett. Not only does this 1992 debut feature some of the most exciting music of its era, it works as a thumbnail guide to then-current developments in dance music that would later blossom into fully fledged mini-scenes of their own. "Out of Space" samples reggae great Max Romeo's "Chase the Devil" over frenetic breakbeats, and predicts the later ragga-jungle that would top the UK charts with songs like General Levy's "Incredible"; "Charly" kicked off a slew of "toytown techno" hits (such as Smart E's "Sesame's Treet") that later mutated into happy hardcore. But Howlett's compositional smarts and clean production makes the rollercoaster likes of "Everybody in the Place" and the gorgeous "Your Love" into more than time capsules — it makes them classics.
