No Roots

Faithless

A somber, politically charged blend of trip-hop and house. Maxi Jazz delivers gravelly sermons over Sister Bliss's lush, minor-key electronic arrangements.

It's like a deep, soulful conversation about the world over a really steady, hypnotic beat.

A serious, soul-searching journey that balances urban grit with electronic elegance.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, sharp acoustic guitar riff that punctuates the anti-war message of Mass Destruction
The transition between the two parts of I Want More where the groove shifts from sparse to driving
The way the title track builds a sense of displacement through its repetitive, haunting vocal hook
