New Book coming up ------------------ Exit The Underground The new book on The Prodigy, reviewed here by Christian Oliff. "The Prodigy. From rave heroes to chart superstardom, here is the full story of Britain's top dance band. From Charly to Firestarter, from PAs in fields to topping the bill at Europe's biggest festival, "Exit The Underground" charts the unstoppable rise of The Prodigy." Exit The Underground is a great book for all Prodigy fans and features loads of new photographs of the band. The book covers the entire story of The Prodigy from the very beginning to bang up to date and even includes information about tracks on their soon to be released album. Although not going into such great detail as Martin Roach's Prodigy book "Electronic Punks", this book does win hands down in the looks department. It is literally packed with colour photographs and is very well designed and a joy to read. It also features lots of quotes from The Prodigy and many snippets from the music press including the likes of N.M.E., Select and Kerrang! It's very well written and even after you've read it from cover to cover, you'll come back to it and just read snippets and look at the many great photographs. This book is well worth getting if you're a fan of The Prodigy (and if you're reading this - you obviously are), so pop down to your nearest good book store and get yourself a copy.
