Sister Bliss, one of the world's leading female DJs, Maxi Jazz, veteran DJ and inimitable 'voice' and producer Rollo make up the group we all know and love as Faithless. We've seen them fill arenas and headline festivals, they hit Triple Platinum selling over 1,000,000 copies in the UK alone of their 'Greatest Hits' album and now they're taking on Renaissance's '3D' project. It features 3 discs - Studio; a blend of their own productions and remixes, Club; an upfront selection of club favourites and finally, Home; an array of chilled, influential and formative tracks.

The first CD, 'Home', looks quality at just a mere glance. Plenty of top Faithless tunes and remixes of a variety of cool and classic tunage. It is subtly and gently mixed and has a pretty easy going and relaxed pace. The styles vary from quite housey style remixes to those classic tracks which are styled in faithless' own totally unique sound and form. Highlights include 'Salva Mea', 'Dreamer (Rollo & Sister Bliss Remix)', 'Addictive' and the awesome Rollo & Sister Bliss Remix of B.B.E. - Seven Days & One Week.

The second CD, 'Club', is quite self explanatory really. It's a well selected selection of some of the best tripped out, chilled out and deep house around at the moment. It's hard to pick out favourites, because there's such a wide range on offer here. You've got quiet and chilled tracks, deep and groovy tracks, upbeat dancey tracks and a sprinkling of vocal house too. Tracks which drew my attention were Balazko - Breakfast and DJ Tarkan - Ha Pardon (DJ Tarkan Remix), where the CD got a more upbeat and clublike towards the end.

The third and final CD, 'Home', is going to be a tough one to cover. It's a mixed bag of mixed bags. It encompasses just about every popular music genre under the sun from jazz to funk to dub reggae then hip hop to r'n'b, pop ballads and back again. It's just a CD filled with a hugely diverse selection of good quality music. Definitely one for home, easy listening or a chill session. You'll need to hear this for yourself.

Conclusion:
3 great CDs from faithless make up this latest '3D' release from Renaissance. It's a proper musical buffet of well mixed and smoothly blended tuneful treats, old, new and out there. Definitely worth a good, hard look.
