RIP, saw Prodigy for the first time in November last year and they ace.

This won't affect their ability to carry on, as Liam is the brains behind the band, and Maxim is very much the frontman, Keith came across as more of a dancer/occasional vocalist....but still very sad, especially if it was suicide.

Did some great tunes through the 90's in particular. Great frontman and like ACS says, they broke that genre into the mainstream. Loved a bit of controversy too, it was very obvious they did it on purpose to sell records. Smack my bitch up and Firestarter were not well received by the stuffies.

Anyone remember 808 State too? Proper trancy music, one of the first things I learned on the keyboard was this:

I like probably more guitar based rock than anything else but I did have a soft spot for all that 90's rave culture. Probably my penchant for recreational drugs taking over.

This live is their best song, comes across more as a rock/metal song live cos of the mighty Maxim

Sad news, a lot of their songs remind me of school days running around as a mad kid, probably got me into the rave scene more than any other band/group and later going to raves in the woods and free parties around London and Surrey in the mid-late 00's.

Always wanted his devil horn hair cut but couldn't bring myself to shave off that much of my hair so instead went for the AAF strip down the middle instead.

RIP

Remember "Charly" - "Charly says always tell your mother before you go out somewhere"

I liked the way their albums always had a certain feel to them. Charly Outer Space were just pure old school rave. Their Law, No Good, One Love, Voodoo People all belonged together with an almost tribalistic feel. I remember endlessly listening to Voodoo People. Then you moved to Fat of the Land with Firestarter, Breathe, Smack My Bitch Up were so in sync. They just had a way of hooking you in to what was big for them at the time.

Let all your E's be Rolls Royces people <laugh> (Mitsubishi's and Pink Elephants are acceptable though)

I like the first album a lot cos I was in to early 90s rave at the time, the second one, Music For The Jilted Generation, blew it away though, awesome dark techno rave, just brilliant. Then they lost it for me a bit when they tried to go in a rock direction on the next album....not to say they never had any rock influences (Voodoo People was based on a Nirvana sample after all), but that album wasn't great, Will always love Jilted Generation though.

A ****ing unholy din. Shame about his death, but Mark Hollis of Talk Talk died last week and that's a greater loss to music.

Shame he died, but not really a loss to music, seeing as they'd been split up since 1991.

That and the fact they were forgettable generic 80s synth pop.
