Experience

Experience is the debut studio album by English electronic dance music band The Prodigy. It was first released on 28 September 1992 through XL Recordings. It peaked at No. 12 in the UK Albums Chart in October. A wide variety of artists in the breakbeat hardcore scene in the early 1990s are given respect and namechecked in the sleeve notes of the album, including SL2, Carl Cox, Moby, Tim Westwood, and Aphex Twin. On 19 June 2001, an expanded edition of the album was released in the United States, featuring a bonus disc of remixes and B-sides. It was released in the United Kingdom seven years later on 4 August 2008 as Experience: Expanded, with a gold cover and two extra tracks. Experience has been well-received critically. Allmusic gave the album 5 out of 5 stars, opining that it “shows the Prodigy near the peak of their game from the get go” and stating that “almost every song sounds like a potential chart topper”. All songs written and composed by Liam Howlett.
