Goodbye Keith Flint. My memories about Prodigy.

Back to 1997: I was in England. That summer everywhere you could just listen to "Firestarter".
I never liked electronic music, before listening to that album.
I can't say that I became a Prodigy fan, probably I've never been a real one, cause that's not my favourite genre.
Anyway, I always had big respect for their music, for the taste of restlessness, permeating any of their songs.
That restlessness wasn't only a sound choice, it seems to be there, inside Keith Flint's mind.
Since that 1997, I always had "Fat of the land" on my hard disk, ready to be played on headphones, so that its bass could go through my brain. Listening to that, I remember all the times that I acted as Keith in that tunnel, saying: "I'm the Firestarter, I'm the Firestarter".
2018: Youtube's algorithm knows everything about my music tastes and it didn't hesitate a second to tell me that Prodigy new album was being released.
So, I was excited to listen to "No Tourists" finding again that old stroboscopic feeling.
But today I had that bad news, I'm sure that Keith is still singing with his coloured hair.
He was right, "we live forever". What we did in this world stays forever in this world.
RIP Keith
