A soundtrack for those British rave hordes who dodge Tory truncheons, Music for the Jilted Generation thrills initiates with a political buzz Americans might miss. But the Prodigy's hard-core techno generates universal dance fever. Mastermind Liam Howlett mixes relentless jungle grooves that add guitars to the keyboard shudder ("Voodoo People") and then turn spacey on "The Heat (The Energy)." "No Good (Start the Dance)," with ecstatic vocal snippets, is as heady an anthem as any in a genre that exults in billboard statements; more ambitious is "The Narcotic Suite." The latter begins in woozy ganjaland and climaxes in an acid swirl, an echoing voice intoning, "My mind is glowing." Truly trippy. (RS 706)
