Wildfire : My Ten Years Getting High in The Prodigy
The Prodigy - Book - by Leeroy Thornhill
(2024)
Wildfire tells the story of the first decade of The Prodigy from the
perspective of original member Leeroy Thornhill, fully illustrated with
entirely unseen photography from the earliest raves, to Japan and the
United States in the late '90s, by which point the band were one of the
biggest on the planet. Rave pioneers whose sound also encompassed hip
hop, punk and rock, The Prodigy arguably had as much influence on
contemporary pop culture as the Sex Pistols and these extraordinary
images from Leeroy's personal archives capture the wild energy, ecstasy
and abandon from the moment they dropped their first hit 'Charly'
through the three albums which became the ubiquitous soundtrack to the
decade: Experience, Music for the Jilted Generation and Fat of the Land.
Beautifully designed in five colours with archival ephemera, and
contextualised by Leeroy himself with candid and often hilarious stories
describing the band's wild adventures and eccentric encounters as their
fame and popularity spread 'like wildfire', this is the ultimate visual
journey into the world of the original 'electronic punks'.
