A real shame... I'm glad I got to see them live. Twice! Bloody amazing live act and have left behind one hell of a legacy!

OH
 Bit of a shocker, although admittedly as far as Faithless go I'm still very much stuck in 2006 - Bombs is HUGELY under-rated and Music Matters utterly BEAUTIFUL. |

This is a shame. I absolutely love them. <3
Agree with Shoat, 'Music Matters' is utterly beautiful. |

Music Matters was probably the last song I liked by them, but they were obviously past their peak even back then.

 I have to be totally honest and say I never really liked them apart from Insomnia but it's a shame they're splitting up. I always thought they'd just keep on going forever.

Hmm, I had no idea they were still going. Impressive that they managed to make what amounted to really one song last over a 15 year career.
Moody intro Maxi Jazz raps about nothing in particular Cut the music Maxi Jazz says something 'profound' Sister Bliss plays a one-fingered refrain Bring beats back in Repeat to fade Still, it means they can reform for the festival circuit in a few years to bigger crowds

The Dance was their best album - ever....and, as a fitting tribute, I thin they should release the best track, their best track in a decade, 'Sun To Me'... AWESOME track. Sad news.

Sad news indeed
 "The dance" is an excellent album by the way. 3 topics I started last year (as a well deserved tribute to one of the best electronic artists ever IMO) http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...mp;hl=faithless http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...mp;hl=faithless http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...mp;hl=faithless |

I did like Faithless actually, not a huge fan, I'd probably struggle to remember another song from them bar Insomnia admittedly, but still its a shame

Shame. But if they feel it's finished, it's finished.
I only recently got into Faithless and I have 3 of their albums - Sunday 8PM, No Roots and Forever Faithless - The Greatest Hits. Not Going Home from The Dance is wonderful though, I want that album too! A unique band. |

Comparing Salva Mea to One Step Too Far to Muhammed Ali for example, and saying they follow the same formula is ridiculous. |

Insomnia is genuinely my favourite song ever created. Just SO amazing.

Oh c'mon, I was kidding, of course they haven't done that for an entire career. Ok, 'Insomnia', 'Salva Mea', 'God is a DJ' and 'We Come 1' then...the hits that non-fans know about. |

I will admit that a lot of Faithless stuff did sound very similar..... I always much preferred the music to Maxi's ramblings...... but, for any non-fans or casual listeners, you really should invest in The Dance - especially the '...Never Ends' remix bundle - it's cracking... and Sun To Me.... why this was only released as a single in, I think, Belgium.... bonkers - it's a huge stand-out track on the album.... in fact, I'd say it's my favourite Faithless song ever- and it sounds incredible on great speakers in a club or in the car - THAT bassline.... AWESOME....
