Yeah... they were supposed to split up in 2005 when the greatest hits came out. I remember seeing them on their "farewell tour". Since then they haven't done much of note, instead regressing alarmingly into the middle aged triteness that has always been lingering in the background of their work. SO not only will I believe it when I see it, but I think it's overdue.
Don't get me wrong, they're a fantastic live act and I like a lot of their tracks, but I absolutely don't buy into this idea that their sickly acoustic MOR efforts are somehow deep and profound, because they stack up against the big anthemic club hits. Rollo's semi-solo effort as Dusted was way better than any of the Faithless albums.
If you place a thing into the center of your life
That lacks the power to nourish
It will eventually poison everything that you are
And destroy you
A simple a thing as an idea
Or your perspective on yourself or the world
No one can be the source of your contempt,
It lies within, in the center.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck! Never got a chance to see them live, one of my favorite acts of all time. Insomnia was perhaps the first trance track I ever heard. And some of the most melancholy yet awesome times of my life had a soundtrack to the time of "sunday 8am". I had the best and longest fuckfest for 10 hours, while blasting Faithless and competing with my downstairs neighbor on who could make his girlfriend moan the longest. Age (younger) won that day (eg us).
I'm fucking sad and angry at myself for not catching then live. Hope they do a reunion in my lifetime, before they become desperately washed out.
"contained in the humm, between voice and drum" is my motto.

They had their hay day in 1995 but they clung on to power too long. After Mobarak stepped down it was only a matter of time.

And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
