Another great Pete Tong-compiled soundtrack is for 24 Hour Party People. Features: Joy Division, New Order, Clash, Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks, Happy Mondays, and a few great late 80s/early 90s house classics (Marshall Jefferson: Move Your Body, for example). If you grew up in the UK during the 80s you probably have all these songs, but for someone whose formative years incl. a lot of North American crap this is priceless. Convinced me I need to buy some New Order.

faithless is good music. the lyrics make or break the songs. (break more often than make) but when it's put together right it's pleasing.
...pretty open ended opinion, you could say that about any music. ah well nobody likes a critic!

i like their earlier stuff.. don't leave was a great one, made me cry a several times :-// as well, salva mea or insomnia - that were monsters as most of the reverence album was. but -though there were quite interesting things on there- with the last 2 records they didn't get me anymore
love is all.

A statement from Maxi :

After 15 years(!) and six albums(!!) I think we've probably made our collective point by now and that it's time to close the book and return to the library...
We've had, with you, the most unbelievable, epic and moving experience, stretching over years and tens of thousands of miles... joyful, exhilarating and empowering, we never for a moment thought an affair could last this long. Or be this powerful. Never thought for a moment that the end of this journey would be left to us either...
Quite naturally people grow, change and leave the things of youth behind them. You've not only brought us with you, but introduced us to y'children too! What're you like..?
The album 'The Dance Never Ends' was written and produced for you, as a thank you, but also as a goodbye.. the tour schedule has been particularly hectic as we attempt to visit as many territories as there are people who wanna see us.. And say thank you.
If I devoted the rest of my life to the task, I could NEVER thank you enough. I have memories that will still be with me in my next life.
But, like when writing a song, you always just 'know' when it's finished... this is and was the "Thank YOU And Goodbye' tour and to be truthful, I really hope you just pick up the ball of your life.. And RUN WITH IT!!
Once again, whether you bought or downloaded a cd, came to a show or told your mates about us... Whether from the beginning or just last week..
Thank you.
You'll be in my heart forever. Listen for my voice in future lifetimes, I only grow in your shadow, you're the sun to me.
One Love.
Maxi

Was never all that familiar with Fiathless but that was a beautiful, gracious and heartfelt parting letter.
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

it was high time for them to leave.
to refer back to my statement of dec 15 2004
- I still really like don't leave. yup. loads of the late faithless stuff was just needless IMO.
