ok - I am by no means a Prodigy fanatic. I think that on ALL of their albums, there's definitely dodgy stuff... but I still buy them, as the good outweighs the bad.

but about them live -

they just do a different style than Underworld. I will give you, however that Maxim absolutely leaves something to be desired with his MC-ing. It does get annoying when you d/l a couple of boots, and you constantly have him 'howling' over the track... every track

and no - they definitely don't just hit the 'play' button. they just work hard to get a tight, punching rendition of studio tracks. I mean, come on! No one says anything like this when Nine Inch Nails toured, or released that live album... I mean on that one - the only reason why I knew it was live, was b/c of the audience cheers as the songs faded out

-> not that there's a big similarity between bands, or that all dirites like NIN ...it's just the first thing that sprang to my mind

I mean... Primal Scream don't really do radical changes of their tracks either... or Goldfrapp, Gus Gus, Kraftwerk, Moby (depending on which tour it is)...
