The Prodigy are giving away a free download of a remix of the title track of their recent album ‘Invaders Must Die’ from their official website, Theprodigy.com.

The band are making a ‘Liam H’s Re-amped Version’ of the track from their 2009 album available for a week from today (October 21). The remix is taken from a forthcoming deluxe edition of ‘Invaders Must Die’, which is due out on November 9.

The package will contain the original album with three bonus songs, a second disc of remixes by the likes of Chase & Status, Benga and The Prodigy’s own Liam Howlett, and a DVD of videos and gig footage.

Rave rock giants The Prodigy are set to give away an amped up reworking of a track from their new album.

The Prodigy came of age in the white heat of the Acid House explosion. Continually adapting and evolving as dance trends come and go, the band’s back catalogue is littered with references to jungle, drum ‘n’ bass and more.

Returning this year with ‘Invaders Must Die’ the band seemed on ferocious form. Summer performances at the likes of RockNess in the Scottish Highlands saw the group tear through their live set with rare abandon.

Confirming a number of tour dates for early 2010, it seems that The Prodigy are not set to be away for long.

With the winter nights drawing in The Prodigy are set to offer up something special to keep away the cold. Stretching their new album to three discs the band have collected together rare demos, videos and outrageous re-workings.

Over a number of singles this year has seen The Prodigy keep abreast of developments on the dancefloor. Stretched by producers from the worlds of electro house, techno, dubstep and more the group’s appetite for the beat shows no sign of being satisfied.

As a primer for the new edition of the album The Prodigy have announced they will be giving away a new remix for free. Singer Liam Howlett has stepped behind the mixing desk to push energy levels dangerously into the red.

A number of young and amateur American bands inspired by the invasion created a raw version of the British Invasion sound that has since become known as garage rock. A handful of garage bands had chart success.

The British Invasion influence continued on subsequent groups such as Todd Rundgrenamongst others. British Invasion acts influenced fashion, haircuts and manners of the 1960s of what was to be known as The Counterculture.

In the early 1980s music from the United Kingdom was informed by the after effects of the “Punk/New Wave” revolution. Music videos, having been a staple of British music television programs for half a decade, had evolved into image conscious short films. At the same time, pop and rock music in the United States was undergoing a creative slump due to several factors, including audience fragmentation and the effects of the anti-disco backlash. Videos did not exist for most hits by American acts, and those that did were usually taped concert performances.When the cable music channel MTV launched on August 1, 1981, it had little choice but to play a large number of music videos from British New Wave acts. Also in 1981, Los Angeles radio station KROQ began the Rock of the ’80’s format which would make it the most popular station in that city.

At first MTV was only available in small towns and suburbs. To the surprise of the music industry when MTV became available in a local market, record sales by acts played solely on the channel increased immediately and listeners phoned radio stations requesting to hear them. The September 1982 arrival of MTV in the media capitals of New York City and Los Angeles, led to widespread positive publicity for the new “video era”. By the fall, “I Ran” by A Flock of Seagulls, the first successful song that owed almost everything to video, had entered the Billboard Top Ten. Duran Duran’s glossy videos would come to symbolize the power of MTV.
