Hard-hitting Big Beat pioneers The Prodigy delivered force and adrenaline to dance floors with their flashy hybrid of electronica and punk. In this interview, conducted on the heels of their breakthrough 1997 album, The Fat of the Land, members Keith Flint and Liam Howlett discuss the band's controversial image and relentless intensity. The duo offer a frank rebuttal for any listeners who might doubt their claim to be "the best live band in the world". Neither Flint nor Howlett are lacking for conviction, yet they exude a refreshing stoicism and clearness of intent as they muse on their disinterest in the rave scene's ubiquitous drug culture. Throughout the proceedings, the pair exhibit the same propensity for self-expression and uncompromising energy that drives their music.
