I think it's just going to be one of those things that I can never fully
justify but which I'm convinced I've heard before. Thanks for taking the
time to look, but evidently the Internet isn't going to solve my deja vu
on this particular occasion...

I didn't mean to imply that I (or anybody else) wasn't interested, it's
just that your comment on Jamie Catto's DVD thing was in response to
some comment I made about Faithless promotion, and I just wanted to make
sure I was right that Jamie Catto isn't part of Faithless any more.
Any information'd be appreciated, sure.

Fair enough, and all power to 'em.

What I really meant was not that the album was a collection of singles,
but that when the albums were released, a particular Faithless single
was riding high in popularity. Album sales are usually a lot higher when
a band has a single high up in the charts, and Faithless seem to be
depending on the fact that "We Come One" will be a smash hit after the
hiatus, just like "God Is A DJ" was. If "We Come One" doesn't grab the
public attention it might have a knock-on effect on album sales.
Hey, I was only theorising anyway.
