The song "Leave You Far Behind," is used in The Matrix, Mortal Kombat Annihilation, Test Drive 6, MotorStorm, Drive, and an early teaser trailer for Spider-Man. The song is arguably the group's most famous track and is, apparently, the only one to receive a full music video directed by David Slade. It portrays Simon Shackleton, with his face painted blue and his eyes pitch black, singing the lyrics as rapid edits and fast forwarded footage has him dancing and swaying within a warehouse and outside in a forested area.[2]
"Fuze", "Leave You Far Behind" and "The Sound" were added in the hoax Prodigy album "The Castbreeder" in 1998 under the names "The Castbreeder" (at the very beginning), "Castl Road" and "Abnormal Bunx" respectively.[3]
