Unsung Champion


45 minutes of Faithless for no other reason than "Why not?"

No epic-length cuts here, a few remixes, a fistful of hits, loads of guest vocalists and at the centre, the trinity of Rollo, Maxi Jazz (RIP) and Sister Bliss.

Enjoy!

2) Insomnia (Original Radio Edit) (1995)
3) Hour Of Need (Skinny Mix By Matt Benbrook ft. Jamie Catto & Rachael Brown) (1999)
4) Crazy English Summer (Album Version ft. Zoë Johnston) (2001)
5) Killer's Lullaby (Nightmares On Wax Mix By George Evelyn) (1999) 
6) Muhammad Ali (Radio Edit ft. Pauline Taylor) (2001)
7) Miss U Less, See U More (Single Mix ft. LSK) (2004)
8) Reasons (Saturday Night) (Album Version ft. Ian Dury) (2005)

  2. I Hope, No roots, all the new arrivals...these songs...I always bend my knees reverently before I start to fidget...😏...but of course many others too.
    I just realized that I don’t know the last album “All blessed” at all.
    Do you know anything about it? Although from 2020 it is an album without Maxi Jazz, without Sister Bliss?
    But with a variety of other vocalists (Damien Jurado!!)…..hmm…………..greetings Alex

    1. Thanks again, Alex, and sorry for the belated reply. I bought the first three Faithless albums (& remix companions) but haven't really kept us since, apart from the occasional single and greatest hits compilation.

      I don't know much about the final album, other than it didn't feature Maxi Jazz. Rollo & Sister Bliss were still the core of Faithless and Suli Breaks (spoken word poet) features on several tracks. I will check it out sometime.
