They were playing second-rate dance music to a rock crowd. But, y'know, it's all horses for courses. I'd honestly not considered that to people your age Prodigy have always been the dance band playing to rock crowds.

I think you've also got to consider the country factor. I mean, I can't be 100% sure since I was only 3 when Music For The Jilted Generation came out, but I'm pretty certain that the first two Prodigy albums didn't have the same impact in France as it had in the UK. I think Prodigy really reached a mainstream success here with The Fat Of The Land. No Good was probably being played on the french radios and all at the time (I'm almost sure it was, since the first time I consciously listened to No Good, I thought "wait, I've already heard that a long time ago", kind of like a sound from my early childhood), but that was probably about it.
