"Продиджи Дэ Касбридер" — Фэйк Альбом!
Пожалуй самая известная пиратская подделка. "The Castbreeder" вышел примерно в конце 1998 года и выглядел как настоящий релиз XL-recordings, но при детальном рассмотрении можно определить, что это вовсе не альбом знаменитой группы. Он не имеет ничего общего с "The Prodigy". Все трэки взяты у групп "Junkie XL" и "Lunatic Calm". Предположительно этот фейк был выпущен пиратами из России, но его можно также встретить и в других странах (Болгария, Югославия, Чехия). Диск, надо заметить, хорошо оформлен, и качество звучания достаточно высоко, но сама музыка не обладает энергией "The Prodigy"!

Review: It's rare that we find ourselves exploring a new drop from the Big Fat Mama Beats crew that doesn't catch our interest, with the label's output being so damn consistent. This latest offering from DJ Smartie Roc is a powerful collection of post-breaks influenced bangers, kicking off with the rave ready drum slaps and powerful bass synth designs of 'Super Breaks'. From here we dive down a much more typical breakbeat route as layers of groovy rhythms are smashed together with a sub-busting bassline on 'Dance' before 'Paid To Roc' draws a more moogy set of influences. Next, the thickened bass synth action of 'Bumped Up' adds another twist to this EP's tale before the nostalgic organ chord and post-hardcore breaks sampling of 'Concentrate' gives us a worthy finale. Excellent stuff!

Masters of big beat, jump-up, and funky breaks throw down solid basslines and funked-up drum loops, mixed with a healthy dose of vocal and 303 samples. This is a collaborative effort between more than a dozen of the biggest names in broken beat and big beat. Featured artists include Überzone and Monkey Mafia. Masters of remixing -- including Fatboy Slim and Wizard of Oh (aka Omar Santana) -- slice and dice original tracks by Keoki and Christopher Just. The result is a stellar collection of distinctive tracks. Each one sounds different from all the others, but the energy level is consistently through the ceiling. It's hard to pick favorites, but Wizard of Oh's remix of "Me" by Keoki is a standout, and the Fatboy Slim remix of "I'm a Disco Dancer" by Christopher Just is a yummy remix of a club favorite. You'll want to turn this CD up loud -- so loud the neighbors complain and the people driving next to you can't help but tap their fingers. Just like in a great club set, you'll welcome the breakdowns but wait impatiently for the beat to kick in again. Unlike a great club set, however, this disk can be put in "repeat" mode and listened to over and over (and over and over) till you get sick of it -- which, for a serious fan of breakbeats, might take a looooong time.
