Faithless Artist Snapshot:

With roots in the UK House scene, British dance-pop collective Faithless made a big splash with its debut single "Salva Mea," a highly influential chart smash. Theirs was a multi-hued style, with Maxi Jazz's rapping, the mixing skills of Rollo and Sister Bliss, and the vocals of Jamie Catto and occasionally Rollo's sister, Dido (who would go on to huge success as a solo artist). Throughout the second half of the 1990s, Faithless played an important role in the British music world, even though their star faded somewhat in the 2000s after personnel changes.

Review

Q (3/02, p.132) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The first dance act to fully embrace life on the road...their debut contained big house singles 'Slava Mea' and the awesome 'Insomnia'..."

Title Note

Faithless: Maxi Jazz, Jamie Catto (vocals); Sister Bliss (keyboards, background vocals); Rollo (programming).

Additional personnel: Dido, Pauline Taylor, Penny Shaw (vocals); Paulie (guitar); Vince DeCicco (accordion); Mr V (keyboards); Aubrey Nunn (bass); Matt Benbrook (drums); Gaeten Schurrer (programming).

Inspired by house, rap, reggae, '50s vocal harmonies, techno, and even opera, along with a host of other musical genres, Faithless creates amalgamations of these styles onto tracks of generous length. The group's debut, REVERENCE, is one of the most consistent and surprising records to emerge from the club scenes of '90s England, and features at least two bona fide masterpieces.

The extraordinary "Salva Mea" starts with a plaintive vocal before bursting into a fast, massive rave-up, and then settles into a wickedly fuzzed-out, bass-driven rap--and that's only in the first three minutes of this nearly 11-minute track. The other standout is the utterly stunning "Insomnia," which would justify the record even if the rest of it weren't as good. Starting off with a variety of clock sounds and a wet, jackhammer beat, the track moves through brittle ambient territory into rap and hard-beat techno, and back again with alarming dexterity. The track appears twice, as a full-length version and an equally fabulous radio edit that excises the ambient sequences, condenses the vocals, and emphasizes the "harder" portions of the original. As for the other tracks, well, you ought to hear them for yourself--they are all well worth it.
