Insomnia was the band's first significant UK chart success, peaking at #3. Salva Mea was released prior to Insomnia, but only enjoyed significant chart success (#10 peak) as a re-release after Insomnia had charted. God Is A DJ peaked at #6 in the UK charts in 1999, although the album Sunday 8pm did subsequently achieve a higher chart position than Reverence, the album from which Insomnia and Salva Mea were taken.
In short, Faithless were a huge singles success from Insomnia onwards, but their album success was more slow-burning and gradual. |
I know, I bought Salva Mea when it just was released. Since they are British that probably is why they had some earlier success in their home country. Although I read they Salva Mea has been sold more then 1 million times worldwide. Not bad for just a club scene hit. In Holland God Is A DJ reached the 1st place, maybe also due to Pinkpop, because it was a great performance.
I always bought the singles, because of the remixes. I didn't like their albums very much.
Although I don't like live versions very much, Pinkpop 2002 was special to me since they were the festival stopper and about everybody was jumping.
