For 1994 this track is definitely ahead of its time... the melody is amazing! very nostalgic tune

by the way, is the blue radio or cassette player on the cover picture real or was just made for the cover? just out of curiosity

The Prodigy back in fine form with No Good (Start The Dance). Tearing club floor filler! But as I have stated in previous reviews on The Prodigy 12"s they are starting to slip again. And no I won't review anymore as can't be bothered as not my flavor. Disclaimer= Gawd I'm such a sour faced 45 year old sometimes? But then again I felt the same way about certain Prodigy tracks back then so I am not changing my mind.

IMHO the last decent Prodigy tune after 4 years of amazing boundary-breaking music the horror of 'Firestarter' etc was now not far away. Having said that you can't blame him (another concession to the American market was this thing that were a 'band' rather than just Liam Howlett and some dancers one of whom might try to sing occasionally) wanting to make some big market by appealing to the clueless American market can you?.

When making this tune Liam wasn't sure whether to use the Kelly Charles vocal sample as he though it might make it sound to euro-poppy. He used it, but said that this was the last tune he would make that would use this kind of female vocal.

I rated it 5 only for the first, original version. A masterpiece of beat programming, flawless tune and the groove making it one of absolutely timeless dance anthems of all time. As for the mixes - CJ Bolland's "techno-ish" version doesn't stand out and "Bad For You" is probably the crappiest Prods' mix ever.
