Sunday 8pm/Saturday 3am

Faithless enhances its reputation as a purveyor of great music, dance or otherwise, demonstrating an uncommon ability to blend musical styles into a coherent album. SUNDAY 8PM is a very emotional record- sometimes euphoric and confident, at other times paranoid and fragile Vocalists play a large part in this. Boy George proves barely recognisable in his guest spot on the tender and pleading "Why Go", while Faithless rapper Maxi Jazz offers such choice verbal cuts as the brooding "Bring My Family Back" and the uplifting Euro house of "God is a DJ".
The instrumental tracks are no less effective. SUNDAY 8PM opens with a moment of lush, blissed-out piano music. The majestic "Take the Long Way Home", led by a gorgeous cello melody, is outstanding. Another track even samples Erik Satie. It all adds up to provide a revealing snapshot of musical trends at the turn of the century. This is a remarkable record, unanimously acclaimed in the British press as a landmark album.|
