Well

1. It's true that Liam named the band after his keyboard. "Prodigy" in english means to be very gifted.

I'm sure the other people will answer the rest

2) www.jonnyl.net

3. Apart from his knee problems, he wanted to spend more time on his solo work.

4. Liam: Dirtchamber Session Vol. 1
Maxim: Hell's Kitchen / Fallen Angel
Leeroy: Longman EP / Flightcrank EP / Beyond all reasonable Doubt
Keith: Device #1 (never officially released)

Liam Howlett named himself after one of his synths; a Moog Prodigy. However, in some interviews he claims that he didn't name himself after the Moog Prodigy, but that the name simply came from the dictionary and he chose it because of its meaning. See here: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=prodigy. I personally believe that both explanations are true.


Jonny L is short for John Lisners. He used to be on the XL-Recordings label like The Prodigy. He has released quite a lot of material, so I don't quite understand that you haven't been able to find any of his work? You can visit his own web site here: http://www.jonnyl.net.


It was a combination of various factors. He had problems with his knee, which made dancing more difficult. The musical direction the band was going to didn't really fit to Leeroy Thornhill's dancing. He had been producing music for a long time and he wanted to persue his own solo carreer. All this led to Leeroy Thornhill leaving the band.


Liam Howlett has done various DJ mixes in the past, but the only DJ mixes which got commercially released is one short DJ mix on a free cassette which came with a copy of DJ Magazine called The Heavyweight Selection and the other is The Dirtchamber Sessions Volume One. Earlier this year he put his mark on the Back To Mine series for which he did a selection of tracks. Liam Howlett is said to have produced at least one track for the Ping Pong Bitches, the band who collaborated on for instance Girls.

A lot of people don't realise that Leeroy Thornhill used to be the number two in the band musically wise. He has been producing music for many years and during live shows with The Prodigy he would sometimes take Liam Howlett's place behind the keyboards and such so that Liam Howlett could play some live drums during for instance Rock 'N' Roll. Leeroy Thornhill had his first release which I know of in 1992, on a free flexi disc flyer, under the alias Lowrise. Some years later, in 1996, he released a 4-track white label under the alias The Longman. From 2000 on he worked under the alias Fligthcrank, under which he released various singles and one album, named Beyond All Reasonable Doubt. Leeroy Thornhill has done various remixes for other artists, amongst others for Shades Of Rhythm, Southern Fly and Kool Keith. Leeroy Thornhill is currently involved in Hyper, the band by DJ Hyper (not to be confused with DJ Hype).

Maxim has released various singles and albums. His first known release is a 4-track white label under the alias the Grim Reaper. Two tracks of this EP have been offered for download of Maxim's official web site some time ago when his web site was still up. Maxim's first album is named Hells Kitchen. His second album is Fallen Angel. Maxim's musical style doesn't sound the same as The Prodigy does. The same goes for the musical style of Leeroy Thornhill and Keith Flint; they all sound different compared to The Prodigy. Liam Howlett has worked on two of Maxim's tracks; My Web and Scheming, which both made it as singles. Maxim has done a remix for Flightcrank too.

Keith Flint has done various things in the past, but he started with his own material later than the others. His first project was called FLINT. They released a 1-track promotional sampler called Asteroids and one single called Aim 4. They were planning on releasing an album named Device #1, but this never saw the light of day commercially, only on promotional copies. You can obtain this album from our Russian friends if you want to have a listen. FLINT broke up and Keith Flint started Clever Brains Fryin'. CBF hasn't released any material besides two free MP3 files. Besides this they did several live shows. Both free MP3 files can be obtained from our Russion friends as well; Oozy and Mix For Godskitchen, the latter being a sort of DJ mix of various CBF tunes.

The word 'Prodigy' in the dictionary usually refers to a gifted child or exceptionally talented . Liam was looking for a name for the band after writing a few tracks and just looked at the Moog Prodigy Keyboard and thought that will do. Many people thought though it was because he was very young when he first started writing Music. I'm glad he didn't call the band Moog.

by the way Jonny L now produces alot of drum and bass and you can get most of his stuff on line from record shops
