The so-called “electronica revolution” was in full swing and the American music press and public were looking for the band to cement the staying power of an entire genre. Songs like “Out of Space” and “Charly” turned into massive club hits, while “Poison” and “Their Law” saw Prodigy in a state of transition, incorporating elements of hip-hop and rock into the requisite big beat sound. Albums like Experience and Music for the Jilted Generation were both well regarded as dance classics, the latter of which managed to hit #1 in the UK and break Billboard‘s top 200 in the dance-deprived US. When Liam Howlett’s Prodigy project first hit the scene, it quickly blew up into an underground phenomenon, renowned at least as much for its live show (which featured a couple of dancers and an MC on stage with Howlett) as its solid recorded output.
