Reverence by Faithless
Reverence is an album by Faithless, released in 1996. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 17 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Insomnia”, on 16 lists with a best position of #15.
Reverence was the debut from Faithless, the English dance outfit formed in 1995 around Rollo, Sister Bliss and frontman Maxi Jazz, and Cheeky Records released it in April 1996. It lives where house music meets trance: long, hypnotic builds, beats that keep circling back on themselves, and a mood more reflective than the usual big-room euphoria.
"Insomnia", "Don't Leave" and "Salva Mea" were all singles, and all three have since become Faithless classics. Rollo worked strictly in the studio and has never played live with the band, leaving Sister Bliss and Maxi Jazz to carry the name on the road. The album climbed to 26 on the UK chart, and before 1996 was out it resurfaced as Reverence / Irreverence, with an extra CD of remixes.
