"A very fine record. This combines techno beats, instrumental passages, lengthy club tracks and rap vocals with sophisticated and modern instrumental sounds to rate as one of the best recent albums (it dates from 1998). I agree with the other reviewers about Bring My Family Back - this is an exceptionally well written and performed track that features the voice of Maxi Jazz. The other brilliant tracks are God Is A DJ , which has an awesome, exciting sound and a great rhythm , and Take The Long Way Home. Why Go features Boy George on vocals and is a mid-paced song, while Dido appears on the tune Hem Of His Garment. I also like opening track The Garden , an organic slow techno instrumental. Faithless are one of the best bands around , as they have many talents . Get a copy of Sunday 8 PM , and also of their follow-up Outrospective (2001), which is nearly as good."

Alot better then I expected

"I used to think of Faithless as an average artist with some good songs. That totally changed when I got this album, this is beyond my dreams. It takes you up and never lets you go. The Garden is a beautiful mix of sounds, an exellent opening track. Bring My Family Back is one of the most touching, beautiful and emotinal songs I know, Maxi Jazz overdone himself on this one. I shiver and nearly cry when I hear this track, it's the best Faithless has to offer. Killer's Lullaby is pretty much the same, it's also a magnificent track. The dancetracks on this album aren't disappointing either, God Is A Dj and Take The Long Way Home are both the best dance-music has to offer. Dido did a good job on Postcards and not a bad one on Hem Of His Garment. Why Go? is also emotinal and a great track. This is an album you have to own, either you like dance or not. I also recommend this for trip-hop-fanatics; Bring My Family Back and Killer's Lullaby are both outstanding trip-hop-tracks. You won't waste your money if you buy this."

Faithless second coming

"Faithless second album "Sunday 8PM" is another great effort, it has a bit of everything. Trip Hop, World Music, Dance and Hip Hop. Just as their first album it's very diverse, but at the same time they stick with their dance influents on most tracks. The beautiful instrumental "The Garden" is am good kick off track to a great album, the title song "Sunday 8 PM" is simular to it. It continues with the dark, depressive trip hop song "Bring My Family Back" with Maxi Jazz. "Postcards" sound the same almost. "Hours of Need" is a great soulish song with background choirs and good hook. "Take the long way home" is a dance track, just like "Why Go" with Boy George. "God is a Dj" is defenitely the highlight of this album, it was a massive hit the same year and still works on the dancefloor. It reminds me a bit of "Insomnia" with Maxi Jazz lyrics and then the catchy dance sound hook. In the video he made "signs" when singing to send out his message to everyone. Dido also appaears on a few songs like "Hem of his garmant" but she's not in the spotlight on this album. "Sunday 8 PM" has alot of variation and it's a classic album from the great Faithless. Go and get it, if you haven't."
