Label GB

The Prodigy is a British electronic group founded in 1990. They made their debut with the release of "What Evil Lurks" EP in 1991. Initially known for their rave/breakbeat sound, they later incorporated rock guitars into their music, resulting in a more mainstream sound with the album "The Fat Of The Land" (1997).

The band is led by Liam Howlett, who handles keyboards, synthesizers, programming, and various other instruments since its inception. Maxim joined as an MC and vocalist shortly after their formation in 1991.

Former members include Keith Flint, who was both a dancer and lead vocalist from 1995 until his tragic death by suicide in 2019. Leeroy Thornhill contributed as a dancer and occasionally played live keyboards from 1990 to 2000. Sharky was one of the original dancers but left before the band signed their record deal.

expanded 2cd reissue of 'experience' featuring a bonus cd with 13 tracks including mixes from underworld, fairground, uplifting vibes, edits and b-sides. to the prodigy fans most of the album came as no shock, featuring as it did versions of all of their top 5 singles to date, alongside other live faves from the band's already incendiary shows. the singles appear in brilliantly reworked versions. 'charly' has all but the slightest hint of the cartoon cat eliminated, in its place sits an adrenalised hard and dark, cut up breaks version subtitled 'trip into drum and bass version'. elsewhere, 'everybody in the place' takes on a fresher, more vital air about it, while 'g-force' is all but transformed into a full-on hyper speed anthem going under the name 'hyperspeed - g-force pt 2'. 'out of space' (the single that followed the album) presents a rough neck skanking groove with a lift from max romeo's classic 'chase the devil'.
