Amazon.co.uk Review
Faithless are actually a band of multiple faiths, both musical and spiritual, including Buddhism, hippy idealism and rave fanaticism. All these elements are sublimated into their dance sound, and after their mid-Nineties million-selling single "Insomnia", they were mistakenly dismissed as disposable Euro-house. The diversity of Sunday, 8pm gives the lie to this notion. It's galvanising dance music for sure, with big, overarching crowd-pleasing synth riffs courtesy of keyboardist Sister Bliss and non-performing Brian Wilson-style programmer Rollo. But then Boy George guests on "Why Go", a big ballad with a simple plea, while "Bring My Family Back" and "Take The Long Way Home" feature quietly intense, first-person raps reminiscent of Massive Attack, whose shadowy, ominous sense of melancholy is in evidence throughout the album. So when "God Is A DJ" breaks through the clouds and fills the dancefloor, it's more than just easy triumphalist hedonism; it is a blessed relief, a pleasure earned. --David Stubbs

Customer Reviews

A must have for diehard Faithless fans
Faithless is my favorite dance act for the past several years now. I first got into the band when I heard "Insomnia" at a nightclub. The song took the best elements of house and trance music and combined them together to make an epic dance song. It was nothing I had ever heard before. When I saw a video for "God is a Dj", the first single off "Sunday 8pm", I knew Faithless was something special. "God is a Dj" follows in the tradition of "Insomnia" with its epic dance sound. I feel like I am in a rave or a nightclub whenever I listen to that song. "Sunday 8pm" quickly became my favorite Faithless cd and still is to this very day. This version of "Sunday 8pm" includes a bonus remix disc. It is so interesting to hear the songs from the album remixed. I especially loved the dance remix of "Why Go?" w/Boy George on vocals. That is a great remix and one of my favorites, next to the remix of "God is a Dj". All the remixes are excellent. The original disc is a mix of ambient, trip hop, house, and trance music. Before Dido became huge here in the states, she sang part time with her brother Rollo's band Faithless. She sings on "Hem of His Garment" and back up on "Postcards". It doesn't take much for anyone to recognize her beautiful voice. "The Garden" is a great ambient track that kicks off the album. It is a beautiful instrumental. "Take the Long Way Home" is another great instrumental track. It is a little more upbeat than "The Garden" and just as good. There isn't one song on "Sunday 8pm/Saturday 3am". This cd is one of my personal favorite cds from the past ten years and one of the best dance cds around.

So Good
This is a brilliant album, fact. Sunday 8pm has such a wide variety of songs, and yet it blends together so smoothly that you barely notice as Sister Bliss' (classically trained) piano loops fade in and out.
This album was made at a time when Maxi Jazz's lyrics meant something, and Dido's voice was effective.
Blissful, emotional, energetic... whatver you say, you can relax and barely notice the changes.
