| ORIGINATING
FROM A THRIVING RAVE SCENE, THE PRODIGY SOON LEFT THEIR BIRTHPLACE BEHIND AND FORGED A HIGHLY INDIVIDUAL VISION FOR THEMSELVES, IN THE PROCESS PRODUCING SOME OF THE HARDEST AND MOST INNOVATIVE DNACE MUSIC ON RECENT YEARS. ALONG THE WAY, THEY HAVE ENDURED A DISASTROUS AMERICAN TOUR, FINANCIAL SCANDALS, PRESS WITCH-HUNTS, INDUSTRY CONDESCENSION, AND PERSECUTION BY THE AUTHORITIES. THEY HAVE ALSO EARNED TWO GOLD RECORDS, THEN CONSECUTIVE HIT SINGLES, HEADLINE SLOTS AT HUGE INTERNATIONAL FESTIVALS AND A MERCURY AWARD NOMINATION, WHILST STILL CLINGING ON TO THE UNDERGROUND ETHOS WITH WHICH THEY WERE BORN. THEY ARE NOW ESTABLISHED AS THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED AND SUCCESSFUL HARD DANCE BAND EVER TO COME OUT OF BRITAIN. |
