The Prodigy release their sixth album 'The Day is My Enemy', via Take Me To The Hospital/Cooking Vinyl. Uncompromising first single Nasty fires out of the cannons like a ferocious statement of intent and finds Keith Flint at his snarling best. Premiering as Zane Lowes 'Hottest Record in the World' on BBC Radio 1, it sets the tone perfectly for the new album. The Prodigy have always cut a solitary path through the noise-scapes of electronic dance music. Theyve dropped five epoch defining studio albums and delivered unforgettable live performances that have taken electronic beats into unchartered territories. Throughout this time theyve remained resolutely focused on their own vision, inspiring legions of artists along the way. The Day Is My Enemy is probably the most British sounding album youll hear this year. Not British in the flag waving jingoistic sense, but in a way that understands that the nighttime spaces of urban Britain are a multi-hued cacophony of cultures. If Invaders Must Die was the sound of the rusted urban sprawl decaying like an open wound in the British countryside, then The Day is My Enemy is about the angry humanity existing in the decay of the urban nightmare.
