The Prodigy’s ‘Firestarter’ turns 30 today 🖤
Released on XL Recordings in 1996, the track became one of the defining records of the decade. Its iconic video, directed by Walter Stern and filmed in a disused London Underground tunnel, remains one of the most recognisable visuals of the 90s.
The stark, black-and-white shoot wasn’t the first video made for the track. An earlier, higher-budget version had already been filmed but was ultimately scrapped, leading the band back to a stripped-back concept that placed Keith Flint front and centre and captured the performance that would come to define the record.
Firestarter went on to top the UK charts for three weeks and became a worldwide hit.
Als de nog jonge dokter mij sterkte wenst, ontsnapt er nog een laatste zin uit zijn mond: zo jong nog. Hoewel ik tot dat moment redelijk ontspannen was, greep het korte zinnetje mij toch even aan. Inderdaad: zo jong nog. Mooi kut.
