Faithless has released the complete remix 2.0 remix album that has compiled their greatest hits into one disc and asked a mixture of big names and up-and-coming DJs to remix those same hits on another 15-track disc. Among those who have been tabbed to do remixes include Axwell, Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Avicii and Eric Prydz.
Each of the reboots are given the title 2.0 because of the Faithless 2.0 title on the album. The Avicii remix has been slagged by fans, but others from Above & Beyond, Eric Prydz and Booka Shade have all earned plaudits by critics and fans alike.
There is a nice variety of different remixes from the various acts tabbed to do work on this album. There are some spacey trance and progressive reworks from the likes of Above & Beyond, High Contrast, Axwell and Eric Prydz, while some more beat-driven reworks come from Claptone and Booka Shade.
The originals stand the test of time as classics from the UK electronic duo, but the new remixes help to breathe new life into these tracks as the pair go on tour for a special 20-year anniversary of their formation in 1995.
Faithless have been touring, primarily in the UK, in support of their 20 year anniversary comeback. They still have more gigs in their homeland in cities like Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and London, addition to one in Brussels and another in Amsterdam.
