This book covers most of the stuff that Electronic Punks did but from a slightly different angle and less thoroughly. However this book also covers the release of Firestarter, Breathe and FOTL plus the subsequent touring. It's written from a more personal angle than EP and one can notice that Martin James is close friends with the band. It also mentions Leeroy's solo project 'The Longman' and Maxim's as well. The book features a few b/w photos.

Rating:

A great compliment to
the official EP book.
Essentially a must-have.

Text from back of book:

This is a tale that is unique
to the nineties - the story
of The Prodigy, a four piece
musical assault troupe fom Essex
who are quite simply the most
invigorating, intens and incredible
band of their generation.

From the coreographed energy of their rave P.A.s in the early nineties and the naive
brilliance of "Charly" to the incendiary madness of their festival headlining shows and
the hard-hitting innovation of "Breathe", The Prodigy's fiercly confrontational music
and powerful image have proven to be an irresistlble force - their acid punk anthems,
legendary performances and stunning, controversial videos setting audiences alight
on a global scale.

Adventures with the Voodoo Crew traces the foursome's exciting voyage to worldwide
success, exploring the countless intrigues and triumphs the band have encountered
along the way. Drawing on exclusive interviews with the band and their extended
family, specially undertaken for this book, Martin James retells the stories of The
Prodigy's very earliest P.A.s, their first disastrous US tour and initial media disinterest.

In contrast, form the frontline of their 1997 live shows, Adventures with the Voodoo
Crew relivesthe experience of being with The Prodigy on tour, uncovering the
personalities, the talent and the conditions that have propelled the group of their
current positions as the hottest property on the international live cicuit with the status
of press darlings and MTV regulars. This is the story of the most exciting band to have
emerged from Britain in decades - The Prodigy.

MARTIN JAMES is a music and popular culture journalist for Muzik,
Melody Maker, The Guardian, and US dance music titles such as Urb and
Sweater. He is the author of State of Bass - Jungle, The Story So Far,
writes and records music under a variety of guises, Djs regularly and has
promoted clubs and raves in the Midlands. Martin's first experience of
The Prodigy was at a rave called "Perception", although he can't
remember much about it now apart from the colours, the togetherness
and one hell of a rush when the band came on. He has subsequently seen
the band on everu UK tour. He also admits to an addiction for computer
games and regularly swaps Playstation tips with Liam and Leeroy.
