From the Publisher
The official illustrated history of the Prodigy
"The music business is like a big trap and that’s why I never like to put both feet in to it - I like to stand back and laugh at it, because if you jump into the mainstream completely then you are never going to escape. Songs like ‘Firestarter’ burst on to the mainstream and bend it, twist it. Then we retreat back underground. That’s the best way." Liam Howlett, The Prodigy

The Prodigy are the world’s biggest selling hard dance act - with over five million records sold and Top Ten singles in over thirty countries, they are both internationally successful and critically revered. This official book reveals, in entirely the band’s own words, the thinking behind such ground-breaking releases as ‘Firestarter’ and ‘Breathe’, and gives an insider’s view on their remarkable live show and life in The Prodigy.

With dozens of unpublished colour and duotone shots of the band backstage, live, in the studio and at home, ‘The Fat Of The Land’ is a unique and essential visual insight into The Prodigy, as well as a stunning snapshot of a band that have single-handedly redefined modern music.
