(Radio Mix) Have Faith in this album, and buy it... Faithless are one of those groups that really don't get the recognition they deserve - here in England, they have released numerous songs, but haven't found the big time. I mean like, for a group with enormous talent, it is surprising. Sunday 8pm really shows what Faithless can do. The album has everything - big beats, clever lyrics, haunting sounds, the lot. There is no song on this album that does not make you smile, think, or tap your feet. We start with "The Garden", a beautiful mix of piano and computer-generated sounds. The album progresses onto songs like "Hour Of Need" and the gospel choir that accompanies it, and "Postcard" with witty words that take you on a three-month journey. The standout song is "God Is A DJ". There can only be one word to describe this song - exhilariting. It is Truly that. You have to listen to believe it. To end, we have "Killer's Lullaby", which has to be one of the most haunting songs I have ever heard, following the thoughts of a killer and his search for his prey. If you have heard about Faithless before, whether it be through reviews or previous songs, it would be worth buying Sunday 8pm, if only to savour a taste of brilliance... A great eclectic record dabbling in lots of styles The second album by the UK collective, featuring clubland legend Rollo and Buddhist rapper Maxi Jazz, first found fame with the clubbing anthem Insomnia. But they have several strings to their bow. The standout track on this album for me is Postcards, with Maxi Jazz's rythmic rapping about life on tour in the US complemented by brief vocals from new sensation Dido, who is the Rollo's younger sister. With several different vocalists the tracks vary vastly. Hour Of Need has a short Beck-esque section before taking a wonderous turn into gospel. Bring My Family Back and Killer's Lullaby are Truly Maxi Jazz tracks, with flowing raps in an uncommercial style telling insightful tales abiut respectviely a family breaking up (the section about the 'feelings' of their old house is superb) and a madman's desires of revenge on an ex's new man. The Garden and God Is A DJ (which I initially hated but have grew to quite like) show the ravey side of it. A great record by a genius act. incredible the 2nd album from faithless is nothing short of amazing. The Band Steps away from the fast paced style of Reverence to a softer, more ambient style and pulls it off with great success. but for those who still like the Reverence style, God is a DJ should do the trick. maxi jazz's talent for writing lyrics is Truly manifest as well as Rollo's ability to mix very different tunes and melodies. the songs and lyrics takes us to different planes of Emotions ranging from happiness to despair to excitement. a very refreshing Change from Reverence even though it's not as easy to dance to, a very good album Buy Faithless Sunday 8pm at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.comJamster - the latest ringtones for your phone! |
