Faithless was founded in 1995 by Rollo Armstrong, Sister Bliss and Maxi Jazz.
One of its most interesting features is that it takes the band's famous eclecticism to new limits through a variety of emotions and settings. From melancholy to wonderful, from intense to bittersweet, love stories don't always end well.
Introspective (2001) impresses with its disturbing realism and vitality. This comes after a long break from the frenzy and relentless presence of Faithless in concert. This environment helped form Sunday Night at 8 (released in September 1998) and led to the departure of founder Jamie Catto and guitarist Dave Randall in late 1999. The reason for this decision is that for four of the five years since Their first album, Reverence, released in 1995, the members of Faceless have taken their songs literally everywhere. its music. This led them to perform in unusually exotic locations, including the Arctic Circle, the golden sands of Puerto Rico, and the heavily armed guards of Turkey. After being rejected by the British media, they returned from their tour and became true heroes, gaining great influence and popularity with singles such as Insomnia and Salva Mea. It influenced the sound of modern dance music. Often imitated, but never surpassed, as they say. The variety of rhythms that the album offers (full of house, blues, soul, rap and folk songs) made it stand out among the true bands that did not decide to take risks or try new challenges.
However, despite Faithless' public declaration that they would never again record an album as depressing as Sunday Night 8pm, the album sold admirably. Three of his songs were released as singles and achieved great success, including the quasi-spiritual gospel song God Is A DJ. The band was also nominated for the 1999 Brits Awards, the MTV Europe Awards and the Mercury Prize. To date, more than 1.2 million albums have been sold worldwide, to which only Reverence's 1.5 million and 4 million singles have been sold to date, making Faithless one of their most successful albums. An important band in dance music.
