One of the most interesting features is that it takes the group's famous eclecticism to new limits, through a very wide variety of emotions and environments. From melancholy to incredible loves, from powerful sensations to love stories with bittersweet touches and endings that don't always go well.

Outrospective (2001) surprises with authentic and shocking vitality. It emerges after a long hiatus in Faithless' feverish and tireless activity when it comes to concerts.

Precisely that environment helped shape Sunday 8pm (which was published in September 1998) and led the group's creator, Jamie Catto, and guitarist Dave Randall, to leave the band at the end of 1999. The reason for their decision You have to look for it in the fact that the members of Faithless spent four of the last five years, after the release of their first album, Reverence (released in 1995), literally taking their songs to every place where someone was interested in their songs. music. That led them to offer concerts in places as exotic as they were unusual: in the Arctic Circle, on the golden sands of Puerto Rico and protected by heavily armed security guards in Turkey.

After having been ignored by the main British media, they returned from their trips converted into true heroes, enjoying enormous success through singles such as Insomnia or Salva Mea, songs that achieved tremendous impact and great popularity. influence on the sound of contemporary dance music, frequently imitated, but never surpassed, as they often say themselves. The great variety of rhythms offered by the album (loaded with house, blues, soul, rap and folk songs) made that album deservedly stand out among a veritable multitude of groups that did not decide to take risks or face new challenges.

Despite this and public statements that Faithless would never again record an album as downbeat as Sunday 8pm, the album sold incredibly well. Three of their songs were released as singles and enjoyed great success, including God Is A DJ, an almost evangelical and spiritual song. Additionally, in 1999 the group was nominated for the Brits Awards, the MTV Europe Awards and the Mercury Prize. So far, the album has sold more than 1.2 million records worldwide, a figure to which we must add the million and a half copies sold by Reverence and the 4 million singles that the group has sold to date, which makes Faithless one of the most important bands in dance music.
