Buddhism, hippy idealism and rave fanaticism. All these elements are sublimated into their dance sound, and after their mid-Nineties million-selling single "Insomnia", they were mistakenly dismissed as disposable Euro-house. The diversity of Sunday, 8pm gives the lie to this notion. It's galvanising dance music for sure, with big, overarching crowd-pleasing synth riffs courtesy of keyboardist Sister Bliss and non-performing Brian Wilson-style programmer Rollo. But then Boy George guests on "Why Go", a big ballad with a simple plea, while "Bring My Family Back" and "Take The Long Way Home" feature quietly intense, first-person raps reminiscent of Massive Attack, whose shadowy, ominous sense of melancholy is in evidence throughout the album. So when "God Is A DJ" breaks through the clouds and fills the dancefloor, it's more than just easy triumphalist hedonism; it is a blessed relief, a pleasure earned. --David Stubbs

Advantages: Vast range of influences and genres on one album Disadvantages: Quality goes slightly down hill towards the end
...in my room on a Sunday afternoon listening to Radio 1’s mix hour that they used to have around lunch time. I wasn’t really paying attention too closely and was just relaxing but then there came a tune that instantly grabbed me. It was something totally new to me – the mellow trance sounds backing the cool voice of Maxi Jazz; and oh the main melody when it came in was something else entirely. It took me a while to find out what I ... ...my first Faithless album – Sunday 8PM. I had read up on this album and it seemed to win huge thumbs up from many people – so upon purchasing the CD in a sale from HMV, I was expecting quite a lot…
This album however, was not their first release, and in 1998 (the time of it’s release), Faithless had already enjoyed over 3 years of success. The core of Faithless formed in approximately 1993 – this being the child musical ...

I bought this album about 6 months after seeing Faithless perform a superb live set and hearing several remixes of their singles. Albums by dance oriented acts are always a bit of a chance - there are plenty of people out there with one or two good tracks to their name but they can't fill an album. I'm pleased to say Faithless are not one of them! The tracks on this are consistent with the singles - well written, lyrics that have been thought about ...

Advantages: Faithless are back (SORRY-not about Sunday 8pm) Disadvantages: Could have put all the mixes on one CD single
...CD single (sorry - not Sunday 8pm) from Faithless - We Come 1, if you haven't heard it already is excellent. Unmistakably Faithless, this is their first single in a wee while and precedes the launch of their new album - Outrospective.
Backed by a visually stimulating video, the song 'We Come 1' is Faithless at their best. Maxi Jazz delivers his usual flowing rap and the bass beats that follow are toe-tappingly tremendous.
I bought the two CD singles ... ...mixes on them and I usually like the longer mixed versions more than the original radio edits. I wasn't disappointed here. The Dave Clarke mix is the best of a good bunch. Other mixes by Rollo and Sister Bliss, Wookie and Rocket vs Jeno are equally as good, blending the same basic song into uniquely alternate versions.
There is one downside. Nothing to do with Faithless (I hope!). Years ago, you could buy one CD single with four or five mixes on ...

...this album, which is a brilliant song. Those others on here worthy of note are Bring my Family back and The Garden, along with Sunday 8pm. If you don't have this album but enjoyed anything else Rollo, or the guys have done before then you must buy this!!! ...
