Fotl is pretty much one of the most iconic sleeves of the 90s and i remember mid-90s when XL started the build up for the album with ads and instore graphics. They employed photographer Alex Jenkins, who lent his hand to the graphics side of things creating some amazing photography and promotion for XL for artists such as SL2, Liquid, Empirion etc...
Does anyone have samples of his work he did for XL at the time? i remember he had a site up years ago with loads of XL work, the last thing he did for the Prodigy was Dirtchamber and he now runs an agency called glasshammer ( http://www.glasshammer.co.uk)
I distinctly remember him creating 5/6 peices of graphics for folt that were taken from the lyrics and used on the Prodigy website around 1996, anyone got any of these??

A week before Folt came out in the UK Alex designed a full page ad that was in NME/Muzik/Mixmag etc... which just said
"The most exciting band on the planet"
The Fat Of The Land
On a white background with logo, fucking amazing!
