Faithless is a British electronic band formed in London, England in 1994. The group consists of Maxwell Fraser AKA Maxi Jazz (Conscious Rap), Ayalah Bentovim also known as Sister Bliss (Music), and Roland Armstrong AKA Rollo (Producer, Music). Pauline Taylor provides vocals for many of their songs. Jamie Catto was originally part of the group but left after the release of their second album "Sunday 8PM". Zoë Johnston joined for the album "Outrospective".

Their first album, 1996's "Reverence", gained popularity underground but didn't quite break into the mainstream. However, their second album "Sunday 8AM" changed everything with its hit single "God Is a DJ" becoming a club anthem and the album achieving greater sales than any previous releases. Despite criticism from critics, Faithless continued to move forward with all members pursuing solo careers alongside their work as a band.

During live performances, Faithless is joined by guitarist Dave Randall and bassist Aubrey Nunn. Some original members including Sister Bliss, Maxi Jazz, and percussionist Sudha Kheterpal still perform under the name Faithless Sound System.

More upbeat in both tempo and emotion Outrospective is the natural response to the melancholy Sunday 8pm. From the outset, with Donny X's spine-tingling synth-swathes and brooding sub-bass, it's evident that Outrospective plays to Faithless's strengths. The band has always been more than just a dance act. Deft practitioners of all areas of modern music, their specialties are texture, seductive atmosphere, and haunting melodrama. The single We Come 1 has a familiar sound, combining Rollo's unnerving soundscapes, Sister Bliss's dance-floor mentality, and rapper Maxi Jazz's deadpan voice to recall the power of Insomnia from their 1997 release Reverence. There's also a more up-tempo vibe present, with the gorgeous One Step too Far featuring the inevitable appearance of Rollo's sister Dido, and the Philly soul of Muhammad Ali, with Maxi Jazz singing the praises of his childhood hero. But the lure of their third album, as ever, lies in Maxi Jazz's chilling monologues. The voice of inner thoughts, desires, and conflict, there's nothing quite as arresting as when he quietly muses on Not Enuff Love: "Money in my pocket / But I just can't give no love." -
