The Prodigy: How To Steal A Jet Fighter (album concept)

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 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 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.
