Although Maxim and Keith Flint do get involved in the process, Liam Howlett is the one who writes all the music. Maxim and Keith Flint might for instance be asked for their opinions, lyrics, et cetera, but the music itself is by Liam Howlett for as far as my knowledge goes.

"I am The Prodigy"
-Liam Howlett

Yeah, Liam does all the actual music. Keith and Maxim are there to add vocals when their all feeling it and then of course what they bring for the live shows.

I'd personally like to think that Maxim is more involved than that.
I haven't heard Fallen Angel...but the writing, sequencing and overall production work that he is responsible for on Hell's Kitchen..suggests he is more than capable.
If he did, he would be fully credited...but a lazer can dream, no?

Liam maybe does all the work, but without maxim on poison, or keith on firestarter (for example) , the tunes are half as good. And imagine how the prodigy would ahev evolved without live without the rest of the band members. Liam is the prodigy and isnt in the same time LOL,... u call get my point

In my opinion it's good that each member has its own part in the band. As it was first ment to be: Liam makes music, Maxim does the MCing and Keith & Leeroy are doing the dancing. In time it has developed, like Maxim and Keith started to feature on tracks aswell and now Leeroy has left and Keith does the live vocals with Maxim and they do it well. I think if they all would do the DJing, there would be a lot of arguments. Like those girl/boybands where everybody is singing and everyone is trying to be a lead singer or smth, like Spice Girls or Backstreet Boys. I'm not sure if it was like that with them but who cares. Anyways, what i'm trying to say is that all of em, Liam Keith and Maxim, are The Prodigy and all have an important part of the band. They are like a family as they've said themselves.

I don`t know the main and one reason why Leeroy left but sometimes i miss him in the Prodigy ! He is the great dancer

He's also a great musician.

Check out his album "Flightcrank - Beyond all reasonable doubt"

He had some kind of an injury with his legs so it was more difficult for him to dance. As he was a dancer in The Prodigy he had to quit. That's what i know, not sure if it's all true though.

He was also kind of left behind during the Fotl era in my opinion. You know, Keith started to feature on vocals and sing live aswell with Maxim and Leeroy remained as a dancer. It's not so easy to dance to beats that are on The Fat Of The Land, so he wasn't on stage very often during the gigs. I believe that was an important factor aswell, but that's just my opinion.

Yeah, imagine if he wouldn't have left the group. Have you ever thought about him dancing to songs from AONO? I wonder how that would look...

Leeroy had been working on material of his own for some time before Fat of the Land. Liam said years ago that leeroy was well into making his own stuff and that it was quite ambient sounding. When maxim and keith started getting more involved on some of the tracks and on stage leeroy felt it was time to move on and follow his own path hence flightcrank emerged. Instead of feeling obliged to pick up an instrument or something to look like he was doing as much as the others he stepped down.I do remember when liam used to play the drums live stage to Rock'n'Roll that leeroy used to fill liams space behind the keyboards and trigger the sounds off. I do miss him on stage though and was a bit dissapointed to not see him on the TLTS tour as most tracks were of the thornhill era. As far as a knee or leg injury i don't know.
