Legends of the Electronic Scene: The Story of The Prodigy

The Prodigy are a British electronic music band formed in 1990 in Braintree, Essex, fronted by Liam Howlett. The band has become one of the most influential acts in the electronic music genre, known for their aggressive, energetic and often experimental tracks. The band's first album, Experience (1992), brought them recognition, while their second album, Music for the Jilted Generation (1994), was their breakthrough, achieving widespread popularity thanks to the hit single "No Good (Start the Dance)". Their third album, The Fat of the Land (1997), made the band international stars, thanks to hits such as "Firestarter" and "Breathe". The band has had several line-up changes, and at various points its ranks have included musicians such as Kieran Howley, Maxim and Liam Powell. The Prodigy continued to experiment with different styles, including big beat, rave, punk and even drum and bass. The death of vocalist Kiiran "Liam" Foster in 2019 was a big blow to the band, but Liam Howlett continued to work on new material. The Prodigy remain one of the most recognisable and iconic bands in the world of electronic music.
