U okviru nove večeri “Come Together” u klubu Space na Ibizi, noći koja je osmišljena za zaljubljenike fuzije electro, techno, indie, house i svakog drugog hybrid žanre – sjutra veče će svoj novi album live predstaviti sastav koji se nakon kraće pauze vraća na muzičku scenu – Faithless! I njihov jedini cilj je… Da ponovo preuzmu dance floor!
Cjelokupan Faithless line-up je tu – Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss i Rollo. Najpoznatiji po svojim dance pjesmama "Insomnia", "God Is a DJ" i "We Come 1", Faithless su do sada snimili pet studijskih albuma, nudeći širok spektar različitih muzičkih stilova. Tokom karijere prodali su preko 12 milona nosača zvuka širom svijeta. Njihov šesti po redu album "The Dance" predstavlja i neke izuzetne goste, uključujući Dougy Mandagi (The Temper Trap), Dido (na 2 miksa), Blancmange, Johny 'Ithc' Foxa (The King Blue) i Miu Maestro. Pjesme sa novog albuma možete preslušati na http://www.myspace.com/faithless, a u nastavku djelić intervjua koji ćete imati prilike da čujete u ponedjeljak na talasima PRO FMa. Naš sagovornik je Maxi Jazz.
Koja je bila inspiracija za naziv albuma?
Album se zapravo zove "The Dance Never Ends". Dvoumili smo se oko toga. Imao sam želju da ga nazovem samo “The Dance”, jer sam razmišljao “napravili smo dance album” i to bi bilo isto kao da smo napisali knjigu i nazvali je jednostavno "The Book". Na kraju smo postigli kompromis: Na naslovnici je "The Dance" na zadnjoj strani dodatak "Never Ends".
Kako je nastao "The Dance"? I da li ste imali prilike da unaprijed provjerite Hitfaktor novih pjesama?
- Upravo tako. Najbolji način da se to definiše. Mi to nazivamo testiranje na cesti, ali to je upravo ono što je. Kad se vraćaš na scenu sa novim albumom ono što je očigledno je da želiš da bude jak. Pogotovo kad nijeste radili ništa tri godine, tako da su se potrudili, posebno oko dance pjesama na albumu, praveći dobar zvuk, kreirajući pravi osjećaj. Lično mislim da su uradili veliki posao. Ovaj album je definitivno izjava o tome što je Faithless. Ali je takođe i jedno veliko hvala našim fanovima i poruka: Uzmite album, i uživajte!
Kako nastaje tipična Faithless numera?

To se može dogoditi na razne načine. Tipičan, prosječan način na koji to radimo je kada Blissy i Rollo rade na pjesmama u studiju, dok ne naprave nekih šest, sedam backup melodija. Onda se okupljamo kod mene ili odlazimo u studio, preslušavamo numere, i tu se rađaju ideje. Tako Rollo umije da kaže: "Ah, ovo me podsjeća na vožnju kolima! Ova pjesma me podsjeća na čovjeka koji je uznemiren zbog gubitka svoje djevojke, i koji je jako tužan". Ili šta već. Izbacujemo ideje. Za ovaj album sam imao osam, devet pjesama na CD-u i u januaru 2009. sam otišao na Jamajku na oko četiri nedjelje odmora i družio se sa majkom u novoj kući na obali okeana. Bilo je prelijepo, to tako mirno - mislim tako MIRNO - napisao sam sve riječi pjesama za album. Oko 90 odsto riječi sam napisao na Jamajci, došao kući, pozvao ih, i rekao: "Dođite i završite pjesme!”. I tako smo uradili, zvučalo je jako, jako dobro. Tipičan način rada je da kada snimimo glas na backup melodiji onda oni rade grade muziku oko teksta kako bi pojačali, ako vam se sviđa muzički, i ono što sam lirski htio reći. Oni su stvarno dobri u tome...

As a part of “Come Together” in Space Ibiza, night designed for those who are in love with the idea of a mass fusion of electro, techno, indie, house and every other hybrid genre – tomorrow night will be the night of band who are back on the scene after short pause – Faithless! And their only goal is… To takeover dance floor, yet again!
Complet Faithless line-up is there – Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss and Rollo. Famous by it’s dance songs "Insomnia", "God Is a DJ" i "We Come 1", Faithless recorded until now 5 albums, with wide range of different musical styles. During past years they sold out over 12 million album over the world. Their 6th album "The Dance" presents some extraordinary guests, including Dougy Mandagi (The Temper Trap), Dido (2 mix), Blancmange, Johny 'Ithc' Foxa (The King Blue) and Miu Maestro. Songs from the new album you can listen on http://www.myspace.com/faithless, and below part of zje interview that you can hear entirely on Monday on PRO FM. Our guest is Maxi Jazz.
How it came to the title of your new album?
It’s actually called „The Dance Never Ends“. We had a bit of a row over that. As well I wanted to call it „The Dance“ and I thought like having made a dance album that was a bit like writing a book and calling it „The Book“. So we reached the compromise: It says „The Dance“ on the front and „Never Ends“ on the back.
What motivation is behind "The Dance"? How do your tests in advance the Hitfactor of the new tracks?
That’s exactly the way to put it. We call it road testing but that’s exactly what it is. When you gonna come back with an album obviously you want it to be strong. When you haven’t done anything for three years so they worked so hard, particularly on the dance tracks of this record, getting the sounds, getting the feel right. And I think they’ve done a great job, personally. This album is a statement of what Faithless is about, definitely. But it is also just a great big thank you to our fans and say: Take this, enjoy!
How is a typical Faithless-Track done?
It can happen all sorts of ways. But I would say the most typical, the average way that we would do it is that Blissy and Rollo will work on tracks in the studio until they’ve got maybe six, seven backing tracks. Then they’ll come around to my house or go to the studio an we’ll listen to’em and we’ll kick ideas around. Like Rollo saying: ‚Ah, this track reminds me of driving! This track reminds me of a man upset over losing his girl, just really sad.’ Whatever. And we’ll kick some ideas around. For this album I had eight, nine tracks on a CD and in January 2009 I went to Jamaica for about four weeks and I’ve hung out with my mom in the new house by the ocean. It’s beautiful, it’s so peaceful – I mean SO peaceful – and I wrote alle the words there pretty much. 90 per cent of the words I wrote in Jamaica, come home, rang’em up, said: ‚Come around and finish!’ and we did the thing and it worked really, really well. The typical way is that once the voice is on the backing track they will then build the music up around the words to amplify if you like musically what I’m saying lyrically. They’re really good at that…
