No Tourists

Released in 2018, No Tourists serves as the seventh studio album by The Prodigy and notably the final record to feature the iconic Keith Flint before his passing. Produced almost entirely by Liam Howlett at Tileyard Studios, the album was a conscious effort to return to a more streamlined, live-focused sound following the heavier, more drawn-out sessions of The Day Is My Enemy. Howlett famously worked in isolation, sacrificing sleep and avoiding social distractions to tap into a raw, unfiltered creative state. The recording process even utilized portable gear to capture Flint's vocals in hotel rooms immediately following high-energy gigs to preserve the 'live' grit. While critics noted a lack of stylistic evolution, the album was praised for its sheer efficiency and mastery of the big beat genre, debuting at number one in the UK. It stands as a high-octane capstone to the band's classic era, emphasizing their role as the bridge between rave culture and punk rock.
