Disco de Faithless: “Forever Faithless the Greatest Hits”

For sure, I must recommend to buy all the original albums including remixes, but this is because I love Faithless.

If you are not a Faithless fan, but you like electronic music, you must have this album. This compilation is very well done, you get the best and buying it you'll not be disappointed.

1997 was the year. "Insomnia" by Faithless had swept over the dance floor. The ensemble's unique echoic sound would last through their numerous albums, but always bringing in new elements to keep their musical proposal fresh. Unlike others that seem more meant to fulfill a contract, this Greatest Hits compilation does do them justice and presents the true best of their works. Almost nine years later, I hear the Monster Mix of "Insomnia" on this album, and it takes me back to the day. Definitely my faith in Faithless' ability to create great dance music is as strong today as ever.

After watching Faithless' set at Glastonbury on TV this year and the crowd reaction to their music I thought it was about time I bought a best of and explored their music some more. This is an excellent introduction to the band and gives us plenty of the hits they are known for, as well as some that are lesser known. Of course I love the anthem `Insomnia', which never fails to plaster a smile on my face when that riff kicks in. `Mass Destruction' has a similar effect for me as well and I am soon grinning like a loon once it kicks in. Considering these are the two tracks that open this album makes for a very uplifting start to this collection. For some, like me, this will be enough of an introduction to the band to satisfy your curiosity, but if you love this style of music I can well imagine you wanting to track down more after playing this through a few times. This gives us infectious beats, intelligent and catchy lyrics and hit after hit on one CD, you couldn't ask for more.
