[edit] Irreverence

Release date for Irreverence is incorrect - it was first released in 1996 on Cheeky Records in the UK as a bonus disc with Reverence (http://www.discogs.com/release/8033), I will update when I have the time :)

Therefore,'Sunday 3AM' can't have inspired Faithless into remixing their debut album (as is currently stated on the page). This needs to be modified. (I certainly remember having the Reverence remix cd before their 2nd album came out).

[edit] Remix, Instrumental Albums

All these remix or instrumental albums should be merged with their parent album articles. they are the equivalent of a tour edition release, or limited bonus disc edition. People shouldn't be fooled into thinking that these are albums in their own right when they clearly aren't. Also i've separated them in the discog section for the above reasons. Please don't revert without adding to the discussion first. 165.228.105.74 20:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

These albums are albums in their own right, hence why faithless gave them their own name, especially Everything Will Be Alright Tomorrow which was released as a single cd release. The albums are still widely available hence are not the same as tour editions or limited edition releases. All also have original material present on them Irreverence has "Soundcheck Jam", Saturday 3AM has "Thank You", Reperspective has "Lotus", "Daimoku", and "God Is a Beckham" (which has nothing remotely similar in it to God Is a DJ) and Everything Will Be Alright Tomorrow has "Blissy's Groove". The article has had these in the studio albums section for a long time with many editors agreeing that these should stay as they are. The anonymous user is simply trying to have the page as he sees fit and not incorporate the views of the large extent of editors to this page. Please refrain from reverting again, the three revert rule will come into effect. Chappy84 22:51, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Did they produce singles? No. did the band tour these albums? No. do they have damn near the same artwork? Yes. Soundcheck Jam is a demo of the title track Reverence. As for those other tracks, they are probably b-sides or aborted tracks from the same album sessions. That blissy track alone doesn't justify the album receiving 'album' status. you know i'm right about this. 211.31.169.191 10:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
whatever, you win. are you just bitter coz the english cricket team got slammed by the aussies again today? and after the poms got off to such a great start, they had to screw it up gloriously! 211.31.169.191 12:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
If you think that then that's your choice. Firstly I freely admit the England team are without a doubt 2nd best in the winter 2006/7 ashes series on current performances and the Australian team deserve to regain the trophy. On the subject Albums don't have to produce singles just to be given album status, check the definition of album on Wikipedia. Bands never play all songs from an new album on tour, they never have enough allotted time to fit them in, plus how are you to know that they haven't played these songs on tour?

[edit] Hip Hop/Trip Hop

Are they really anything to do with the Hip Hop genre? They have none of this "gangsta" shit they're purely dance/rave that sorta genre.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.45.14 (talk • contribs) 12:35, 11 August 2007

I think you've mis-understood the trip-hop genre. I wouldn't say Teardrop by Massive Attack it anywhere near Hip-Hop but it is Trip-Hop. Chappy TC 16:31, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
