Faithless have spent four years out of the last five touring, since the release of their 1995 revelatory debut album 'Reverence'.
In 1998 their second album 'Sunday 8pm' repeated the success of 'Reverence', receiving nominations at The Brits, the MTV Europe Awards and being one of the twelve Mercury Prize nominations. To this date it has sold in excess of 1.2 Million copies worldwide. Add to this the 1.5 Million that 'Reverence' sold and 4 Million singles and you have one of Europe's biggest dance artists.
Faithless' most recent album, 'Outrospective' starts with a fanfare that signifies a deepseated confidence and ends with the gigantic soul house of 'Liontamer'. In between it maps uncharted territory for the band, as well as redefining familiar Faithless templates.
In August 2000, Sister Bliss said "I want this next album to be a groundbreaking one. I want this to be the peak of our creative powers." It looks like Faithless can add prescience to their manifold talents.
