Additional personnel: Shahin Bada, Kool Keith, Crispin Mills (vocals); Jim Davies (guitar); Saffron (background vocals). FAT OF THE LAND was nominated for a 1998 Grammy for Best Rock Album. Among the most anticipated releases of 1997, The Prodigy's third full-length album is a bulldozing rock-techno hybrid. But while the guitar\/samples\/hyper-beats mosaic that made \"Firestarter\" an MTV breakout are found in every nook and cranny of this album, the overall building blocks are far more diverse, making it a tangible melting pot of pre-millennium pop styles. There's a definite hip-hop element here. \"Diesel Power,\" which features quality mic control by Kool Keith (of Ultramagnetic MCs and Dr. Octagon fame), is new-style hip-hop sculpture, applying techno and acid-house textures to apocalyptic ends. Both \"Funky Shit\" and \"Smack My Bitch Up\" are throbbing dance-floor ejaculations wrapped around, respectively, Beastie Boys and De La Soul refrains. Kula Shaker's Crispin Mills adds vocals to an Eastern-influenced trance workout called \"Narayan.\" All this adds up to proof positive that THE FAT OF THE LAND is just the tip of the iceberg.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFew albums were as eagerly anticipated as The Fat of the Land, the Prodigy's long-awaited follow-up to Music for the Jilted Generation. The Fat of the Land was touted as the album that would bring electronica\/techno to a wide American audience; and indeed it went on to sell 2.8 million copies in the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: XL Recordings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Dance \u0026amp; Electronic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Apocalypse Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42866464456766,"sku":"P5OPL8-9AFE-00","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2059\/7683\/files\/the-fat-of-the-land_cilEl.jpg?v=1780793357","url":"https:\/\/goldenapplecomics.com\/products\/the-fat-of-the-land-vinyl","provider":"Golden Apple Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
