Electronic Sound Issue 128

English | 100 pages | PDF | 47 MB

Ahead of a brilliant new album landing in September, we have the fabulous FAITHLESS on the cover of the latest Electronic Sound, and we’re combining the issue with an exclusive red vinyl seven-inch featuring two almighty groovy tracks remixed by the band’s co-founder Sister Bliss. We think this is one of the most uplifting records we’ve ever released. Bliss and her production partner Rollo have called the album ‘Champion Sound’ and it sees Faithless stepping back into the limelight following the death of their singer Maxi Jazz in 2022. It’s been a very emotional time for the pair, as they note in our in-depth interview, but they have now crafted what is probably the best Faithless long-player since ‘Reverence’, their 1996 debut. The vinyl version is a double set, with the tracks on each of the four sides seamlessly sequenced into exhilarating sonic stories. The lyrics are sharp too, as we’ve come to expect from a group that’s never been afraid to balance the hedonism of club hits like ‘Insomnia’ and ‘God Is A DJ’ with some deep and serious thinking.
