Faithless are a UK group of musicians whose music is described by one of their band as a cross between trip-hop and dance. Their songs include "God is a DJ", "Reverence" (reaching #10 in the UK), "Insomnia" (reaching #3), "Salva Mea" (reaching #9 as a remix), "We Come 1" (also reaching #3) and "One Step Too Far" (featuring Dido, Rollo's sister, reaching #6). The four original members of Faithless were Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss, Jamie Catto and Rollo. Jamie Catto left after their second album, Sunday 8PM. For No Roots, Faithless were joined by LSK. Rollo also acted as producer for the second half of his sister Dido's debut album, No Angel. Dido has been a guest singer on a number of Faithless tracks, including "Flowerstand Man" from Reverence, "Hem of his Garment" from Sunday 8PM, "One Step Too Far" from Outrospective and "No Roots" from the album of the same name. Faithless have released four albums of their own work, called Reverence, Sunday 8PM, Outrospective and No Roots. Each of these albums was also rereleased with a bonus disc of remixes and alternative versions under a different name- Irreverence, Saturday 3AM, Reperspective and Everything Will Be Alright Tomorrow respectively. A new single was released on June 2004, called "Mass Destruction", and debuted at #7 in the UK. The album No Roots was released on the same month, which debuted at #1, becoming their highest charting album ever, beating Outrospective (#4), Sunday 8PM (#10) and Reverence (#26). It has been reported that Faithless are to split up after their current tour, which ends 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".
