No Roots by Faithless
No Roots is an album by Faithless, released in 2004. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 8 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Mass Destruction”, on 8 lists with a best position of #41.
No Roots, the fourth album from British dance outfit Faithless, came out on Cheeky Records in 2004 and gave them their first number one album on the UK chart. The core trio of Rollo, Sister Bliss and Maxi Jazz built it around the house and trance pulse they'd made their name with, Rollo working in the studio while Sister Bliss and Maxi Jazz took the songs on the road.
Maxi Jazz's measured voice is the anchor, the beats surging and receding under him, and the guest list adds color: Dido and LSK both sing on it, and the late Nina Simone's voice turns up too. The band's lyrics lean sociopolitical, and "Mass Destruction" was the track that kept returning to the countdowns.
