"The Castbreeder" is an
album by British
electronica artists
Prodigy released in
1998...
Or is it?
No, it isn't.
It was
nothing more than an album containing
songs from
Junkie XL's album "
Saturday Teenage Kick" and two songs by
Lunatic Calm called "The
Sound" and "
Leave You Far Behind" (Yes, that
worn out tune from
the matrix soundtrack) released as an authentic
XL Recordings release. The
reason why it was taken so
seriously by so many was because of its
extremely high quality in
sound, the
not great but
totally believable
cover-
design and the
not too shabby manufacturing (
i.e. the
mirror surface of the
disc had an unused
data ring and there you could find the prodigy
logotype). If you didn't know of Junkie XL and of Prodigy's
characteristic sound you
probably never would have guessed.
However, some people saw through it due to the
fact that the XL-logo was
incorrect and the
thanks to-list was taken directly from "
music for the jilted generation".
(I currently have no clues on where it was manufactured, by who or where you could buy it, but I'll put that here if I ever find out)
