Formed in 1995 by Sister Bliss, Faithless is a UK group of musicians whose music is described by one of their band member as a cross between trip-hop and techno. The four original members of Faithless were rapper Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss, instrumentalist/vocalist Jamie Catto and producer Rollo Armstrong. Jamie Catto (now in 1 Giant Leap) left after their second album, Sunday 8pm, which was released in 1998. Rollo Armstrong’s sister Dido also features on several Faithless tracks. For the 2004 album No Roots, Faithless were joined by rapper/vocalist LSK, Rollo’s studio relationship is quite unique as he has synesthesia [a clinical condition where sounds have colour] . He also acted as producer for the second half of his sister Dido’s debut album, No Angel. It was reported that Faithless were to split up after their 2005 tour, which was due to end on 30 April 2005. Speculation started after Rollo wrote “We set out thinking it would be our last album, feeling maybe we have had our time in the sun”. Fortunately, this was not meant to be.
