Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

From the outset, with Donny X's spine-tingling synth-swathes and brooding sub-bass, it's evident that Outrospective plays to Faithless' strengths. The band has always been more than just a dance act. Deft practitioners of all areas of modern music, it is affecting textures, seductive atmospheres and haunting melodrama, with dance culture as a back-drop, that's their real forte. First single "We Come 1" is the safe banker, combining Rollo's unnerving soundscapes, Sister Bliss' dancefloor mentality and rapper Maxi Jazz's deadpan voice to recall the power of previous best "Insomnia". "We Come 1", like "Tarantula" and "Machines R Us", also represents an upping of bpm that reasserts their club relevance--something which had diminished with last long-player, the down-cast Sunday 8pm. There's also a marginal upping of optimism with the gorgeous "One Step Too Far" (with the inevitable appearance of Rollo's sister Dido) and Philly Soul of "Muhammad Ali", with Maxi Jazz singing, literally, the praises of his childhood hero, also countering Sunday 8pm's gloom. 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". --Dan Gennoe

BBC Review

More upbeat in both tempo and emotion Outrospective is the natural response to last year's melancholy Sunday 8pm with Faithless reasserting their dance floor credentials and position as one of the UK's premiere acts.

"We Come 1" and its remixes successfully put Faithless back in the clubs but as a single release is a little suspect. Like "Insomnia", this is the traditional, floor-filling epic and although it does the business it sells the rest of the album short. It is those tracks that are a little more considered, such as Maxi Jazz's soulful testament to his childhood hero "Muhammad Ali" and Zoe Johnston's sublime "Crazy English Summer", that will give this album a shelf life. In the wake of a meteoric year, the return of Dido (Rollo's sister) is both predictable and welcome: her soaring vocals teamed with intuitive production on "One Step Too Far" put Faithless on a mountain top. With such strong material in the can their live show beckons and those who are faithless will surely be converted. Wonderful. --Andy Puleston

Best of the three? 6 May 2002
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Three Albums now by Faithless and all are superb.

Choosing a favourite is hard, it is'nt this one, but the obe before although dont get me wrong, this Album was long awaited and delivered the goods.

Tracks like 'crazy english Summer', 'Evergreen' and 'One step too far' are personal favourites. Most of the Tracks are wriiten and performed well, a couple a little bit dissappointing but the vocals are excellent and moving.

An inspirational Album with quality tracks, not as good as Sunday 8pm but well worth the money.

Consistently Exciting 21 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Having heard the masterful 'Reverence' and parts of 'Sunday 8pm', 'Outrospective' seemed a logical progression into the future of Faithless. like their other albums, there are certainly some tracks that should have remained in the studio, but unlike the previous two, i can only pick out one or two of these. in the main, this album is occupied by thumping tunes and chilled melodies and in short, it's varied, constantly challenging, and well worthy of the five stars i award it. watch out for 'Tarantula', 'We Come 1' and 'Liontamer'.

This album in many ways learns much from Rollo's superbly haunting album 'When we were young' (which he released last year as 'Dusted').

However, with Sister Bliss' wonderful sense of dance music injected into the mix, Outrospective brings the painfully Euphoric textures of Dusted to the fore in brilliant style.

Tracks such as 'Not Enuff Love', 'Crazy English Summer', 'One step too far' and particularily 'Evergreen' lift this album onto an altogether higher plane, with Maxi Jazz complementing the proceedings superbly with his mellow vocals/rap (which tended to be a little cheesy in Sunday 8pm).

All in all - another pretty much flawless faithless album. BUY! NOW!

I SAID NOW!
