Take it for a spin
I haven’t done any CD reviews in awhile. Probably because nothing new I have been listening to has warranted any hype. But I got one for you. Faithless is *huge* in Europe. Right now, they are getting a lot of pub for the single “Mass Destruction” on their new album “No Roots”. I admit that I haven’t really heard much of their earlier work, just whatever songs that Midori plays on Big Sonic Chill. But after listening to “No Roots”, I think they are worthy of the hype. The single is really good. Definitely has the euro house thing going. I really like Maxi Jazz’ voice. It kind of reminds me of Tricky...actually, when I first heard “Mass Destruction”, I thought it was Tricky. The songs are really good without being “cold”. I have a tendency to not like music in this genre because it feels soulless. And I don’t get that feeling when I listen to this.
Other standout tracks are “Love Lives on My Street”, “No Roots” (featuring Dido, her brother Rollo is in the band and Dido has been the vocalist on a few songs on previous albums), and “Everything Will be Alright Tomorrow”.
