Информация о артисте

Maxim Reality (Keith Palmer)

Дата рождения: 21 марта 1967
Место рождения: Peterborough

Кто такой Maxim? Все, кто хотя бы немного знаком с творениями оскандалившейся брейкбит-панк-группы The Prodigy, не нуждаются в лишних разъяснениях. Взбесившийся темнокожий вурдалак с леденящим душу мутным взором кошачьих зрачков; агрессивный MC, повергающий толпу в шок на пару с не менее шизанутым коллегой Китом Флинтом; безумное исчадие ада, решившее стать шоумэном... Вкратце - что-то вроде того. Таким он был и остается в контексте The Prodigy, но немногие в курсе, что у страшного и ужасного Максима есть ещё одно лицо...

Максим родился и вырос в городе Петерборо. Еще подростком его привел на реггей-сцену брат Хитман. В возрасте 17 лет Максим стал выступать в качестве ЭмСи в клубе Базингстока под псевдонимом Максим Реалити. Этот опыт привил ему вкус к перформансу и вдохновил на создание собственной музыки. Однажды совершенно неожиданно старый друг Максима поинтересовался, не хочет ли он стать фронтменом новой группы из Эссекса. Шел 1990 год, ставший отправной точкой в истории группы The Prodigy. И Максим стал неотъемлемой частью этой истории. Его скрежещущий вокал звучит в большинстве мегахитов группы ("Poison", "Breathe" и др.). В немыслимом угаре пролетели десять лет безумств, а в 2000 году, с уходом из группы Лироя Торнхилла, Максим последовал его примеру - пришло время сольного творчества. В рамках своих творений Максим стал менее агрессивным, но ещё более мрачным, если не сказать - инфернальным.

Саунд Максима был впервые опробован на публике посредством сингла "My Web" в 2000 году. Мрачная прогулка сквозь чёрные дыры брейк-культуры показала Максима таким, каким многие ожидали его увидеть. "My Web" был танцем теней, кружащих на тёмных аллеях нашего подсознания. Однако это был лишь пролог к тому электронному путешествию, в которое Максим отправился в своём дебютном альбоме "Hell's Kitchen" ("Адская кухня"). Этот альбом вместил в себя тысячи вариаций: от тёмного хип-хопа до лёгкого танцевального грува, от рока до психоделик-транса, - но все они обладали узнаваемым почерком автора. Нынче Максим выпускает свой второй альбом - "Fallen Angel". На этой пластинке он еще больше раскрылся как музыкальный талант в своей собственной интерпретации. И если вы ожидаете пластинку а-ля Prodigy - забудьте об этом! Шоу Максима - его личное дело. В 11 треков альбома "Fallen Angel" запаяна взрывная смесь панка, попа, электроники, хип-хопа и шизофренического фанка. Максим демонстрирует своё блестящее мастерство MC и зажигательную энергетику фронтмена, а подпевают ему очаровательные вокалистки. Read more on Last.fm.

1) Keith Palmer (born 21 March 1967), best known as Maxim or Maxim Reality, is an MC of the British electronica/rave band The Prodigy.

Due to the almost constant touring and recording with The Prodigy, Maxim rarely had a chance to make his own solo material. After the band started to take it more easy after the intense touring to support The Fat of the Land in late 1998, he finally had the spare time to work and finish some of his projects. That year he released "Dog Day" on the XL promo Against the Grain, which also featured Howlett's "Dirtchamber Remix" of "Diesel Power" (from The Fat of the Land) and Maxim's cover version of the Rolling Stones' "Factory Girl". On 9 August 1999 Maxim released the EP My Web, which contained five tracks. In 2000 Maxim had a collaboration with Skin from Skunk Anansie on the song "Carmen Queasy", which remains his biggest solo success. A second single, "Scheming", was released September 11, and finally the full-length
album Hell's Kitchen, was released on 2 October 2000.

Pre-Prodigy history
Maxim was born in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England, youngest of four children, he went to the Jack Hunt secondary school, also in Peterborough. He enjoyed writing poetry and verse and began MC-ing around the age of 14. He gained inspiration from his ten year older MC brother, MC Starky Ban Tan, who introduced him into the Peterborough Reggae Soundsystem Scene. At the age of 17 he had his first gig in Basingstoke. Ian Sherman, a fellow musician from Nottingham teamed up with Maxim and they formed Maxim Reality and Sheik Yan Groove, where Sherman made the music and Maxim contributed with lyrics. After recording some tracks together and not getting any attention from the record industries, Maxim decided to disband and went on a three month travel throughout Europe and North Africa. Upon returning to England he moved to London to get more into the music and reggae scene of the metropol. Through a friend, Ziggy, he was offered a gig with a band called The Prodigy, which he accepted. He was planning to do just a few gigs with the band, but he later decided to stay. His maniac appearance and intense performance made him popular in the rave scene.

MC of The Prodigy
Originally joining The Prodigy to make the live shows become more alive, Maxim's lyrical talents were later incorporated in the studio works of the albums after The Prodigy Experience from 1992 (although his vocal contributions were heard in the live track "Death of the Prodigy Dancers" on Experience). Maxim provided lyrics in the single "Poison" from Music For the Jilted Generation (1994), as well as in the hit single "Breathe" from The Fat of the Land (1997). However, on the Prodigy album Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned from 2004, his vocal works were completely absent, apart from the single "Spitfire" and an appearance on the albums first single "Girls" in form of a remix called "More girls". He is still a full member of the band, though, performing in the live shows and, according to their official web site, recording material with Liam Howlett.
