What happened was - ‘someone’ (probably shouldn't say who, don't want to get them in trouble) sold a cd-r of James Lavelle's dj set at a club in Belfast, from 2000.

“Official Bootleg CD Belfast” is two discs, and contains almost all of the same tracks as on the "Do Androids Dream of Electric Beats" x3 cd, except for the appearance of “No Souvenirs”.

One of the people who bought a copy of the dj set cut the track out, and made it available to download on an UNKLE message board.

Elements of the UNKLE remix of “No Souvenirs” were then used in “Narco Tourists” and “Safe in Mind”

Ah yes, I remember seeing that bootleg CD. Liam was really pissed about it. I wish I could find the interview where it was mentioned and he bashed it. The problem with so many fans dying to hear "No Souvenirs" can somewhat be blamed on Martin James who wrote their autobiography. The opening of the book is this big description of him listening to the track with Liam and his wife while they drive and he goes on about how great and different it is and how it is the next phase of The Prodigy. So obviously fans wanted to hear it. But it seems we never will. I don't know why Liam just doesn't put it out for the fans. Unless he's saving it for some unreleased collection when retirement comes. A part of me was hoping it may be on the new album as its title and Liam's reason behind the title really fit with the theme of The Beach. I could see how it lyrically wouldn't work on either AONO or IMD. If Liam really wanted to get those album sales, having "No Souvenirs" on the it would do the trick. He is sitting on a few unreleased tracks.

That's a lot if great information and educ. I hope that the new record will live up to your hype that they've got it all together. You seem well informed, and I appreciate your influences. But you have to admit, the proof is in the record, and the last few albums have been diminishing returns. Here's hoping for a rebound. It's happened before for 90's behemoths.

(P.s. like your stealthy insider perspective! I have a few notes for Liam if you can get them to him! Mostly around breaking the mold of what he's done before)

Been trying to find a CD rip of this track for ages or the actual promo CD to buy. Only got an old vinyl rip. I do have a lossless rip of Pulse (Edit) from a rare promo CD. Wish Fluke would reissue this stuff digitally.

Re: The Prodigy announce new single/new album

Been listening to Need Some 1 and it's remixes. Gotta say, the mixes are more interesting than the single. wh0 mix is best, imho.
Funny how remixes make you reconsider the original track.

Makes me wanna mosh... kinda feels like FOTL meets the better half of AONO

Re: The Prodigy announce new single/new album

hmm... that isn't too bad. You're right, it definitely reminds me of a mix between FOTL and AONO

feeling a bit more optimistic about the new album.

I like it, think it's the best of the 3 new tracks. Sounds like it's gonna be a diverse album and the most modern sounding.
