Faithless is a British electronica band consisting of Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss and Rollo. The group is best known for their dance songs ("Salva Mea", "Insomnia", "God Is a DJ" and "We Come 1"). Faithless recorded six studio albums, with total sales exceeding 15 million records worldwide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=musicOMH )〕 The band announced it would split up after their Passing The Baton dates at Brixton Academy on 7 and 8 April 2011. However, in February 2015 they reunited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band. ==Career== The band was formed in early 1995, and their debut single "Salva Mea (Save Me)" was released in July that year.〔 Jazz acted as a vocalist, whilst Bliss constructed most of the music herself electronically, but also played the piano, violin, saxophone and bass guitar. Rollo heads and produces the band. Lead female vocals for many of their songs are performed by Pauline Taylor, who also performed lead vocals for singles by Rollo released under his monikers Rollo Goes Mystic and Rollo Goes Spiritual. The albums are ''Reverence'' (which reached number 26), ''Sunday 8PM'' (reaching number 10), ''Outrospective'' (at number 4) and ''No Roots'' (which debuted at number 1); they were released between 1996 and 2004, with a greatest hits compilation album out in 2005.〔〔 〕 In light of their dance roots, each of the four studio albums has been followed with a subsequent bonus disc of remixes. Their fifth album, ''To All New Arrivals'', was released in 2006. Their sixth and final album, ''The Dance'', was released on 16 May 2010, after a four-year recording break for the band. The band also collectively indulge in mixtapes of other musicians' work, either mixed by the group or merely selected by them. This includes the long running ''Back to Mine'' sessions as well as ''The Bedroom Sessions'' and more recently the ''Renaissance 3D'' music project, in conjunction with the Renaissance nightclub. On 29 September 2006, the first single "Bombs" from their album ''To All New Arrivals'' made its debut on BBC Radio 1's Pete Tong show. The album was released on 27 November 2006. "Bombs" generated moderate controversy with its music video, as demonstrated by MTV's refusal to air it. The video featured interchanged clips of war scenes and daily life. In October 2007 they played alongside Talib Kweli and Ozomatli and one of China's earliest music festivals, Yue, organised by Split Works.〔() 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Faithless」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
