"The Fat of the Land" is the best and the last album of British electronic band Prodigy with its original membership. When this album released, it became a bomb of momentary blasting. "The Fat of the Land" was not simply popular and best selling album - it literally flied up to the top of charts in 22 countries, including United States and Canada! No one among musicians of electronic genre could achieve the same success since the beginning of music industry. And all this was done without any promotion campaign. Many tabloids all around the world proclaimed Prodigy as geniuses of dance scene. Some called them "the greatest phenomenon since Beethoven". Absolutely all tracks of "The Fat of the Land" are brilliant: "Smack My Bitch Up", "Breathe", "Funky Shit", "Firestarter". But I especially would like to emphasize "Narayan" - this is an astonishing track. Almost a decade later my madness about Prodigy has been faded, but I still consider them as a great band and do value their works very much.
