There are legendary Prodigy tracks reconstructions by Jim Pavloff, see: 1. "Smack my bitch up" [LINK] 2. "Voodoo people" [VIDEO] Those pieces sound exactly the same as the original, but it does not violate copyright because they've been produced by hand. Mind blowing!

A bit on a same note (pun intended), Jim Pavloff has uploaded to YouTube some cool videos, where he re-creates some of the tunes by The Prodigy based on the listed samples, e.g. Voodoo People ( [VIDEO] ) and Firestarter ( [LINK] )
