What ever happened to Prodigy?
Their last album, "Fat of the Land", came out back in '97. Since then, nothing. So, anybody know what's going on with this band?

Basically, they got bored of each other & went off to do their own thing seperately for a while. I believe they're in the recording studio again (minus Leroy) doing new material.
high resolution ipod featuring dlp hd programming is the best, almost as good as playstation 2 with wega windows media on a super cd! ps2 and tivo do dolby tv with broadband hdtv!

Gotta love Prodigy... You could fit their entire lyric sheet on a cocktail napkin.

You must have really tiny writing or a rather large napkin!

I remembered this old thread and wanted to make it more current by providing an update.
A new Prodigy album called Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned is slated for a spring/summer 2004 release!!!

From an interview by Fredrik Hägglund with Liam Howlett (note, 'Reason' is a very impressive virtual music studio created by Propellerhead Software):
Quote:
A six year hiatus, why?
[Prodigy's Liam Howlett]– Well it wasn’t a conscious decision or a plan, really; it just happened. We knew there would be downtime after The Fat of the Land – we felt we had reached the pinnacle of what Prodigy was, and I myself had my mind set on taking a couple of years off. And then time just flew by, know what I mean?
About 2 years ago I started working again, but soon realized I needed to shift myself out of the formula I’d gotten into from working in the same environment all the time...I sat down and I thought, “well... this is just so boring. How can I ever get inspired doing the same old thing? How am I gonna write a fresh, inspired album? I’m not enjoying it, it’s not going anywhere, I hate my studio, I hate all the equipment in it.”
...
What got you back on track again?
– I bought myself a laptop, which completely reanimated my creative process because I was able to write anywhere I went. At one point someone told me to check out this program Reason, “it’s really back to basics, you should check it out just for fun, you know?” So I did...Then I’d go off somewhere like Scotland or New York and I’d take my laptop with me, with all my samples on the hard drive... and then it all just started happening. Reason was just like... it totally refreshed me, it was just amazing. It was like going back to how it was in the beginning. All of a sudden I was writing two or three songs a week, just messing around and having a laff again. I started something with it and got it rocking in ten minutes. That took a lot of pressure off of me...
...I couldn’t live without it. If Reason hadn’t come along I would probably still be in my studio, depressed, going “aww bloody ‘ell, don’t know what I’m gonna do”, you know? I don’t want to pat Propellerhead [the developers of Reason] on the back too much, but... Reason has literally changed my life, getting me back in the studio and enjoying it all again.

There you have it. Liam Howlett discovered Reason, got a laptop and they helped turn his creative life around. Good for him!

Looking forward to the new album. I'd also like to see Howlett work up another Prodigy Presents the Dirtchamber Sessions DJ mix album; "Vol. 1," from 1999, is still a CD I play often.

Update:
Prodigy's latest work, Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned is available for pre-order from a number of online retailers including Amazon.co.uk (of course!), Amazon.com and Amazon.ca, for instance. It is scheduled for release on September 14, 2004; it appears to be available sooner in the UK (August 23, 2004).
