Their Law: The Singles 1990–2005
Their Law: The Singles 1990–2005 gathers the singles of The Prodigy, the British electronic band, across their first fifteen years. It is mostly a singles collection, and it takes in the range of styles tagged to their name: big beat, breakbeat, techno and drum and bass.
It came out on 17 October 2005 on Remote Control, and the following week it reached No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart. It arrived after Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned in 2004, and it sits alongside earlier albums such as Experience, Music for the Jilted Generation and The Fat of the Land. For anyone who wants the band's run of 45s in one place, rather than album by album, it makes a handy way in.
