Strange that although Liam is almost the sole input into the music (see "Poison" for an exception!) I have read an interview where he said that it just wouldn't be the Prodigy without the other three. I've never seen them live, but I guess a lot of their fans love it - it takes all sorts... I'm happy to just enjoy the music off record. (It takes all sorts...)( J ^
