The Prodigy @ SECC, 7 Apr

Reintroducing the SECC to an inimitable brand of chaos with World’s on Fire, only Liam Howlett could wrap a sample of Jim Morrison around a twisted fairground melody with a straight face. The murky industrial thrash of Their Law makes an early appearance, leaving the crowd panting and critics (hello!) wondering what it is that The Prodigy has to rebel against in 2009. "Just fucking breathe," snarls MC Maxim, a pointed reminder that there’s no need to over-think what your gut knows is incredible. In line with the times, Howlett dabbles with a dubstep reimagining of Maxim and Keith Flint’s most famous duet before unleashing the full force of Omen. Flint, meanwhile, may have tended to lurk on the periphery of live shows in recent years, but tonight he’s beyond starting fires - commanding every inch of the stage with anthem du jour Take Me to the Hospital. It took an artistic crisis to get here, but it’s a thrill to watch The Prodigy reclaim their mojo.
