The hole that he leaves behind is largely filled in by Suli Breaks and Nathan Ball. This first album after a ten-year break arrives with a reorganized Faithless, without frontman Maxi Jazz, who is devoting himself to other projects. Never polemical but hopefully intelligent and (occasionally!) inspirational – this is music with feeling and words with meaning.’ On their manifesto for ‘All Blessed’, Faithless said ‘ In this troubled and increasingly violent world, this album reflects what has always been the Faithless manifesto: be conscious, be caring, love yourself so you can love others and understand who you are and where you are.
