Electronic review: The Prodigy, More Music For the Jilted Generation / Experience Expanded Rermixes & B-Sides
In John Niven’s novel Kill Your Friends, a scabrous satire on the late-90s music business, the Prodigy’s second album, 1994′s Music for the Jilted Generation, plays a small but pivotal role. Addled record company executive Steven Stelfox becomes so incensed when his new boss says he likes the painting on the album’s inner sleeve – a dreadlocked new age traveller giving the finger to riot police raiding an illegal rave (“like some handicapped kid’s O-Level art project,” protests Stelfox) – that he beats him to death with a steel baseball bat, then kills his dog.
