This is no biggie

But today Martina Topley-Bird released her 4th solo studio album. I was hooked on her stuff from when she appeared on Massive Attack Heligoland album in 2010.

So today she did Q&A session on her instagram and I asked her what was it like to work with The Prodigy. She said she got to know the band personally back in 1996. She was asked to join them in the studio to do some vocals pre IMD era. She really loves what The Prodigy was about so she was really devastated that Liam didn't use any of her voice in any of the tracks. Later on when TDIME was coming about she got an email from Liam telling her that he reworked a song with her and it's going to be the title track of their new album. She also said that there are no other band that unites fans from so many genres and would love to do more songs with them.

As many (if not all) here know that TDIME might have been called 'How to steal a Jetfighter'.

I came across this weekend that there have been already a concept artwork for that which Liam rejected in the end.
The artwork is now presented here:

I think that type of UV revealable artwork would have been pretty cool, although I also know that this type of black box edition would have been quite expensive and probably released in a very limited edition, maybe just to a few hundred copies.

What do you think about this?

What do I think? I think that this was posted on April Fools by the same russians that posted Gabba, Rock and roll fake recordings and now making money out of it. I think they should fuck off already. But that's just my opinion.

Back in 2014 I had the opportunity to pitch an artwork concept for The Prodigy’s 6th studio album. At the time it had a working title of ‘How To Steal A Jet Fighter’.

Liam had described the new material as taking a “heavier and darker” direction. I envisaged a minimal black sleeve with only a Prodigy logo in a spot gloss UV print. The real artwork; blueprint schematics and exploded diagrams of a harrier jump jet, would only be revealed under UV light.

As part of the reveal I developed an idea for the promo video. However it has only been fully realised recently in the rough demo version seen here after revisiting the original concept art. At the time I hadn’t heard any of the new material but something about their track Diesel Power had synergy with what I had in mind.

I developed some further concepts, this time to the revised working title ‘The Rebel Radio’. But unfortunately the ideas were never meant to be. ‘The Day Is My Enemy’ came to be it’s finished title with Nick Macfarlane’s distinctive fox design.

Very interesting find I must say.

The tracklist on that design is identical to TDIME which is VERY interesting imo, as not only does it show they were still planning to go with the whole "How to steal a Jetfighter" theme even after the actual "Jetfighter" track didn't make the cut, but also the exact tracklist seems to have been decided on very early on, before a good chunk of the tracks were even finalized. I say that because I remember Liam teasing alot of the tracks on his instagram throughout 2014 playing little snippets from Ableton, indicating that he was still in the process of writing.

For the anniversary of the release of The Day Is My Enemy, I decided to revisit the original album concept artwork I developed to finish an idea I had at the time that never saw the light of day.
