The Prodigy
11.12.2005

I'm totally away, no internet in the new home yet, and spending the days building tables, beds and all that DIY furniture (someones easy, some others quite hard). Also we are doing bus/tube travels from notting hill to westminster moving all (a lot) our shit. I am as away as this post is now 1week old :P

Last Sunday, I was on the bus to notting hill  doing the first travel when Vince (a workmate) called me to remind me about  The Prodigy that we had tickets from since two months ago, I actually forgot. So I had 2 hours to go to Notting Hill checkout information about the gig, and where it was fill the bags, go back to westminsters and run to Brixton. Somehow I did it in time.

Some years ago I really liked The Prodigy, well I guess like everyone, they did mainly 3 really good albums, also I've already seen some gigs on VHS from them that a friend of the school let me. But nowadays, with the latest one they release, well is like something of the past, however I wanted to see their show.

So, once in Brixton and meeting everyone there (hi Julian, Mike, Vince, Simon... ;)  after a dodgy-chicken based dinner and some pints we were on the queue with our tickets in hands. I've never been in that place before (Carling Academy @ Brixton). It's quite big, like an opera hall more or less, but without chairs. Also with the descending ground. Quite mad.

So, basicly there was some groups before and then they did their show. I got bored at some points, mainly because THE SOUND SYSTEM AT CARLING ACADEMY BRIXTON IS CRAP. I wasn't able to dance something that I didn't know. It was just a drum, the bass line was really hard to hear, and some musics were really hard to enjoy. There was also a lot of people jumping and jumping, but hey, it's a concert, what can you expect? The show they did was a little bit obsolete IMHO, it was just like 10 years ago. I somehow missed some visuals or something more..  NEW. It was like 10 years ago but they were more fat.

Probably if I've seen them 10years ago I would go out of the concert saying "I want to be like them! They are great!", but I don't know why, perhaps because I've a little bit of experience doing my gigs, now I think "Please god, I don't want to finish like them!". I mean, I don't care about how much money they got after each gig, but doing the same shit 10 years, same musics, same everything, is just boring.

Well, atleast I could take some nice pictures of people within smoke and lights.. check them here.

I'll continue with the moving now :D Also, as the last thing, I was to thank again to Mike for helping me moving the table and chair! (Tho, I'm not sure he is going to read this, is a weird guy :) Cheers man!

Btw.. I promise to upload some photos of the flat soon! We're getting there!

Try their bonus cd from the latest "Their law Singles 1990-2005", it's plenty of good remixes of alltimes prodigy classics, I especially enjoy the voodoo people (pendulum remix), pure energy!
