I downloaded that 'Dance Your Joy' thing - not bad. Sort of happy hardcore stuff, with a main tune that sounds like some kind of happy-clappy churchy thing. The irony is that this guy put his music on 'free music organisation' homepage for a few years, and then signed to Rephlex!! (not free music - just not much music). As for the Soundtracker 'sound', he does that rather well. Personally I think early Prodigy stuff sounds like it was done with Soundtrackers, but Liam Howlett said he used Roland gear all along - yeah right how much ya get from Roland to say that Liam - perhaps he just heard all that Soundtracker hardcore stuff from the late 80's done on Amigas and simply copied the sound using more expensive, better-sounding equipment (hence the Prodigy's success over all the other hardcore stuff of that time). Charlie says 'Roland'... Jeremy.
