#FIRESTARTER THE PRODIGY CRACKED#

Yeah, Im the one invented, twisted animator. Yeah, Im the pain you tasted, fell intoxicated Im a firestarter, twisted firestarter, youre the firestarter, twisted firestarter. Im the bitch you hated, filth infatuated. вЂњFirestarterвЂќ proved to be more than a single, it was like a cultural wave through the dark and gritty underbelly thatВ ushered in an edgy era of films like Fight Club and The Matrix. Im a firestarter, twisted firestarter, youre the firestarter, twisted firestarter. Perhaps it was because, rather than posturing for adoration, the bandвЂ™s maniacal vocalist/hypeman, Keith FlintвЂ™s twisted, snarling persona dared you to watch without flinching вЂ“ like the hair-raising grip of a great horror movie. The songвЂ™s commanding siren guitar riff was sampled from The Breeders' 1993 Last Splash instrumental, вЂњS.O.S.вЂќ the drums sampled from a remix of Ten CityвЂ™s 1989 club hit, 'DevotionвЂќ and the 'hey' vocal sample taken from Art Of NoiseвЂ™s 1984 song вЂњClose (To The Edit)вЂќ which is a tapestry of samples within itself. Perhaps it was the subliminal familiarity of вЂњFirestarterвЂќ that resonated so loudly.

It wasnвЂ™t the first taste of commercial successВ for the genre-bending electro-punks, all but one of their singles since 1991 had landed inside the Top 15 in the U.K., but it was the first taste of their own stadium-sized potential.
