I LOOKED BACK AT THE EARLY INSPIRATION; THE RAVE STUFF, BUT IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO NOT MAKE IT FEEL TOO OLD SKOOL. IT WAS NEVER ENVISAGED AS A PURELY RETRO TRIP. WEβRE NOT INTO THAT. WEβRE INTO PUSHING BOUNDARIES AND KEEPING THINGS SOUNDING FRESH. @the_prodigy

βI donβt hear any genre when I listen to music. I only hear if it has fire or not, so I guess thatβs why Iβm open to what influences me. The foundation of all Prodigy tunes is always my beats and bass production. Without that, it isnβt The Prodigy.β Liam Howlett / @the_prodigy
Β«I spent half of the time shouting at people in the crowd anyway, so it was a natural progression..Β»
Β«I'd spent years expressing myself with my body and suddenly I had the chance to express myself with my voice.Β» Keith Flint/ @the_prodigy
