Faithless

[Matblack]

3435Jodi's post inspired me to get the Greatest Hits DVD out of my stack.

Surely these are one of the most exceptional groups of artists* to come out of the UK in the 90s-00s?

The only group which comes close for me is Massive Attack; both create a combination of wonderful well though out music, aditictive tunes, insightful lyrics, cool colaborations, great videos and I've seen both live and they rival anyone else I have ever seen for best live act too.

Is there anyone else out there to compare to them? If there is name them, I need sone new tunes

* I've used this description because they do all seem very active as individual artists as well as a band

IMO the Chemical Brothers wipe the floor with anything from that period. Leftfield and Orbital are up there as well. I never really got on with Faithless, I found them a bit charty for my tastes and only a couple of their tracks get me going, We Come One and another one I can't remember the name of, it had kind of political lyrics iirc.

Most of them do, if its a recent one its probably Mass Destruction

I have most Chemical Brothers stuff but its harder then Faithless, I wouldn't call them charty, their more political then the Chemicals for sure though. I do like Leftfield a lot, must dig out the albums

If you like Faithless you really should see them live.
Im not the biggest Faithless fan but the live they were really good. As a result i picked up there albums in the new year sales. The only negative of the from the live show, they didnt have a big screen with sister bliss on.

Saw them at Ally Pally last year and yes Sister Bliss is wonderful, its not that she beautiful but she has a confidence and great stage presence and really looks like she loves playing the music
