What is the country of origin of this magazine? After making a few calls last night, I believe it to be unavailable in Minneapolis, which is highly annoying, as the article sounds extremely interesting. Did it mention anything as to the cause of Jamie's dissention and subsequent departure from Faithless? Did I also see someone mention that Dave Randall has left the band as well? Are the two exits related? It is a dark day. I don't know how much Dave contributed to the band from a songwriting perspective, but I believe he played guitar on virtually all the tracks on Sunday 8pm, and for live performances he is essential. I also believe that Jamie's absence will hugely affect the depth and variety of Faithless in a negative direction, as he has penned many of their best songs (even co-writing My Lover's Gone w/Dido). One of the things I love so much about Faithless is that they're not easily categorized. Sure, they've got the epic house tracks like Insomnia and Salva Mea, but they also have songs like Don't Leave and Hour of Need. That variety is key, and it makes them so much more than just another dance act. However, the membership of Faithless has seemed fairly fluid since it began. Remember seeing pics of Rollo on Reverence? Dido, Pauline Taylor, and Paulie and Matty (now of Skinny) have all branched off from Faithless to expand their own creativity, yet remaining in the Cheeky fold. If there's one thing that Cheeky does not lack, it's talent. It is my hope that while the departed members will never be replaced, Faithless will be able to add new and different voices that will take us all in an unexpected direction. linking my thinking, dave -- This message was sent through the Faithless Mailing-list.
