One of the reasons The Prodigy holds up so we’ll is that the synth guy refused to copy/paste basic background loops.
If a beat pattern is repeated 40 times, he manually entered it 40 times into the software.
This to avoid lazily repeating basic loops for longer than they were pleasing to listen to, and force himself to think about every detail about the music he wrote.
Hey thank you for sharing that story. I’m about to sit down for an extended arrangement session in a couple weeks and, uh, I have arranged two songs before. It’s going to be rough. But that is great songwriting advice.
I’m glad that I’ve been to their concert after the reunion and before Keith Kirked.
If only to remind ourselves to breathe in our advanced age.
Still holds up so well
