Funny. He's definitely odd. But he's certainly a genius. That word is thrown around pretty casually when it comes to music but in his case it's not a misuse of the word. He'll be remembered for a long time.
The Drukqs stuff is crazy. Good, but I wouldn't say it's his best. Selected Ambient Works for me.
Fat of the Land by Prodigy was a weird album. Good, but a lot more commercial than what they had previously done. It really doesn't compare to the first two albums.
