One of the pioneers of electronic music.
The Prodigy only just toured Australia and by all accounts, the tour was a huge success.
The band's fusion of techno, punk, break-beat and acid was one of my earliest electronic music influences.
Lam Howlett founded the band back in the early 1990s and he picked Flint to be the bands frontman. Flint scared my parents with his menacing live performances and goulish makeup....and that was part of the attraction. Hopefully this isn't the end of The Prodigy. Howlett's music is synonymous with late 1990's British Electronic music. Along with Fatboy Slim, Orbital and the Chemical Brothers they were the soundtrack of the late 1990's dance culture.
49 years old is way too young.
