| For anyone unfamiliar, Faithless was a huge group in the
| electronica scene in the 90s and early 2000s. Some well known
| hits include "God is a DJ", "Insomnia", and "We Come 1". If
| you're young and don't know them, check them out. For us older
| folks, lots of early morning memories of better times. :)

| Yeah absolutely, early morning memories of better times.

| Saw them years ago at a festival in Ireland, they were due on

| the poor old milquetoast Stereophonics would have struggled to
| follow them. RIP - keep tearing off those tights with your teeth

| Seen them live a couple of times and it was always a belter.

| Thanks. It drives me mad when people post Spotify links. Wish
| YouTube was the default choice for sharing music. I guess
| Spotify has enough market share that people don't even think
| about using something else.

| Rest in peace. You made a difference and left a mark in millions.

| For reference, probably his most popular song: Insomnia

| Sad news, they were the first band I went to see live and a big

| Sad news. Faithless have some defining feeling in my earlier

| grunge guy. Somehow Faithless' music transcended genres.
|
| They had so many great tunes but one I really love is Salva Mea:

| An astonishing artist, poet, Buddhist and by all accounts, all

| One of the best gigs I've ever been to. RIP X

| A too young age to go. I hope he didn't suffer much at the end,
| and if he did, I hope he managed to cope.
