"I saw faithless on Saturday night here at Sheffield and was pretty
unimpressed. I saw them at Easter in Glasgow and, in comparison,
the sheffield gig was quite disappointing. The energy of the entire
band was so low. Whilst the songs were all great i really got the
feeling that both Maxi and Sister Bliss were only there cos they
had agreed to be."
I had the same feeling at the "Hugo D.nite" last concert in Rotterdam.
Jamie did not appear too and it was a planned concert without any
improvisation.
I am also dissapointed about the new single "Why go". The album track is
really great, I hoped that Faithless would release the slower version to
show an other less commercial face, but they didn't :-(
But still I am one of the greatest fans !! Greetz, Peeky (www.peeky.com)
