Edited one month agoKeith Flint added some Johnny Rotten snarl to this punked-up take on big beat that reached #1 in the UK. This arsonist anthem was the Prodigy's most controversial yet conventional song to date, with a verse-chorus-verse vocal structure and original guitar hook, adapted from The Breeders' squealing grunge guitars on Close (To The Edit)". Menacing, edgy and infectious. (8) -

All about the Empirion mix for me, this started to make appearances in many mainstream techno jocks sets at the back end of the 90s, has a real rave feel to it adding bleeps, trippy samples and harder beats, the original is a classic lets face it but for me this mix takes it to another level, I loved this version since i bought the cassette from Virgin records back in 1996.
Worth mentioning aswell the track Molotov Bitch, cracking alternative big beat track by a group sorely missed, this single has one of the most iconic dance single covers of the 1990s. I two lads getting expelled for arson at a school down the road from us, they got relocated and came to ours and everyone sang this to em!...those were the days, R.I.P. Keith -

Apparently it was only ever meant to be an instrumental track for Wipeout for the PlayStation?
