Loved them to bits, knew this was coming after reading their book. Already posted my thoughts in the COR, wish maxi jazz the very best in whatever he choses to do next.

US people may not be able to see this, as it was banned by MTV and some youtube video's have added the country restriction to it.



One bomb
The whole block gone
Can't find my children
And dust covers the sun
Everywhere is noise, panic
And confusion
But to some another fun day in Babylon
I'm going to bury my wife
And dig up my gun
My life is done
So now I'm going to kill someone...

and these two are my favourites


Many may know zoe for teaming up with above and beyond but she was with Faithless first

They were ok. Although I'd say their indivdual projects resulted in some better tracks:

Hold That Sucker Down
Don't You Want Me
Always Remember To Respect And Honour Your Mother
Sister Sister
Dance 4 Life

(ok, forget the last one)

Respect is due

Originally posted by enydo I don't know anything about Faithless other than Maxi Jazz hates aids, and they were pretty ok at Ultra, but the other... "patrons" at the event made it a tad unbearable. Someone educate me about their history! I'm assuming they were important?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any group was loved that much by both EDM as Rock (Festival) lovers. Where Underworld, Chemical Brother's already made a step into dance at festivals, Faithless made a jump.
Others will come up with The Prodigy, but I think they are second behind Faithless and also are more somewhere in between.

I bought many maxi cd's starting with Salva Me (Save ME) in 1995. When I listened Don't Leave I first thought I had picked the wrong cd and couldn't believe it was Faithless, especially compared to their first two tracks. It was more like a ballad or something:



But then the 3th track was the Euphoric Mix and I was happy again. I don't think many know this one, which is a pity as it has the Faithless sound all over it:



The intro doesn't belong to the original and the track starts very slowly so this one is missing the beginning. At my maxi also the track is 11:24 minutes.

I only liked Faithless because of Rollo's amazing melodies (dunno how much of an impact Sister Bliss actually had on their music) and I always thought Maxi Jazz should just STFU. I hope Rollo would go producing great tracks with great melodies without stupid and unnecessary vocals but I don't that's going to happen judging by the stuff Faithless has released in the past 5+ years.

Faithless has a different style and very original sound, but im not a fan. For me his tracks are very boring

I think it's the same for me except I didn't bother to much about Maxi Jazz's vocals.

But I do think Faithless didn't need any big DJ remixes like on the recent releases. It was the true Faithless sound I loved.

Sister Bliss wrote the melodies, being the keyboardist. Rollo has admitted in the past he can't even play an instrument, which is why he doesn't perform with them live. Despite that, I do still think Rollo is the key to Faithless and he's one of my favourite producers. He has synaesthesia, which might explain why his music features such distinctive soundscapes. I'll say it again: Rollo's side/solo project Dusted and the album When We Were Young are better than anything he did as part of Faithless.

Like these sets? Come see me play live at Kibosh in Manchester: https://www.instagram.com/kibosh.mcr/

Faithless were crap, good riddance.

p.s. I've spent hours reading about it, and I wish I had synaesthesia rather than Klinefelters.

Wow. Really? I always thought it was Rollo only. Is O.T. Quartet - Hold That Sucker Down by Rob Dougan then? I always thought it sounded very much like some of the IMO better Faithless tracks.
