about
The Prodigy are an English electronic dance music band formed in Braintree in 1990 by producer, keyboardist and songwriter Liam Howlett. At their commercial and critical peak, the group also included MC and vocalist Maxim, dancer and occasional live keyboardist Leeroy Thornhill, and dancer and occasional vocalist Keith Flint. The Prodigy have been described by AllMusic as “the premiere dance act for the alternative masses” and “the Godfathers of Rave”. They are regarded as pioneers of breakbeat-driven genres such as breakbeat hardcore and big beat, and Howlett has described their style as electronic punk. The band emerged from the UK rave scene and first achieved major success in 1991 with the singles “Charly” and “Everybody in the Place”, both of which reached the UK top five. Their debut album “Experience” (1992) established them within the rave movement and later gained recognition as an influential British electronic release. Their second album “Music for the Jilted Generation” (1994) marked a stylistic shift towards heavier breakbeat and techno influences and entered the UK Albums Chart at number one. Their third album “The Fat of the Land” (1997) became a major international success, reaching number one in 16 countries including the UK and the US, and producing hit singles such as “Firestarter”, “Breathe” and the controversial “Smack My Bitch Up”. The latter drew criticism for its lyrical content and music video. Leeroy Thornhill left the group in 2000, and Keith Flint
