Re: Radio 1 Prodigy tracks (that even you haters will like....)
I hardly think that Spitfire is a classic and after listening to it, it hasnt improved at all. Goes to show, you cant polish a turd.

Poison sounds more interesting. The breakdown in the middle is nice and the extra keyboards and harder cymbols make it sound much more in your face.

Voodoo People starts off with a great beefed up riff guitar slightly altered, which rather than finishing at the start merge more into the song until the main melody and breakdown comes in. Nice feedback overlaid then its on with the beats and more guitars. Middle breakdown adds some more lyrics and feedback before the main melody kicks in and the second half continues in much the same way as the first. The jury is still out on whether theres TOO MUCH going on but overall its not a bad rendition, certainly no worse than the original.

Firestarter / Smack My Bitch Up really adds some banging drums and feedback at the start. Actually, this sounds better and adds some life into Firestarter which was starting to sound very tired. SMBU hasnt really been tinkered with much to be honest.

Just my $0.02. A welcome update but nothing radical.
