The word 'legend' is handed out a little too easy these days, but if you look up "Faithless" in one of those dictionaries with the pictures in (yeah we've never actually seen one either), dance giants Faithless would be there top, centre.

20 years on, the 'Insomnia' hit makers are back with a special remix album, Faithless 2.0, calling on the likes Avicii, Tiësto, High Contrast and more to tinker with their hits AND they're back on tour, currently doing the festival circuits including London's epic SW4 before they play four exclusive UK dates later this year.

We normally get our guests to pick around 10 tracks for these but they've absolutely outdone themselves and picked out 26 tracks (!) for you to school yourself with. Kiss your afternoon goodbye!

Faithless 2.0 – 'Insomnia (Avicii Remix)'

"This is the first time we have allowed an official remix of 'Insomnia' since its original release, so it was only fitting that we invited the world's biggest artist and DJ to re-work it in style."

View the lyrics
I only smoke ... when I need to
And I need to get some rest
Yo where's my ...
I confess, I burnt a hole in your mattress
Yes, yes, it was me, I plead guilty
And at the count of three I pull back my duvet
And make my way to the refrigerator
One dry potato inside, no lie
Not even bread, jam
When the light above my head went bam!
...
I can't get no sleep
...
I can't sleep, something's all over me
Greasy, insomnia please release me
And let me dream about making mad love on the heath
Tearing off tights with my teeth
But there's no relief
I'm wide awake in my kitchen
It's black and I'm lonely

Oh, if I could only get some sleep

Creeky noises make my skin creep
I need to get some sleep
I can't get no sleep
...
No sleep
...
I can't get no sleep
...
No sleep
...
I can't get no sleep

Faithless - 'Mass Destruction (Original)' 

"Maxi's highly charged lyrics are as relevant and poignant today as they were at the time of release - dance music with a consicence, and is one of my favourite tunes to play live. 'Inaction is a weapon of Mass Destruction!'"

View the lyrics
My Dad came into my room
Holding his hat
I knew he was leavin'
He sat on my bed
Told me some facts
"Son,
I have a duty
Calling on me
You and your sister
Be brave
My little soldier"

"And don't forget all I told ya
You're the mister of the house now
Remember this
And when you wake up in the mornin'
Give ya Momma a kiss"
Then I had to say goodbye

In the mornin' woke Momma with
A kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid
Certain things can't be hid

Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was
Made of gold
But left her
Inner stories untold
I said
"Momma it'll be alright
When Daddy comes home

Tonight"

Whether long range weapon
Or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon
Of mass destruction
Whether you're Soaraway Sun
Or BBC One
Misinformation is a weapon
Of mass destruc
You coulda Caucasian
Or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon
Of mass destruction
Whether inflation
Or globalization
Fear is a weapon
Of mass destruction
Whether Halliburton,
Enron or anyone
Greed
Is a weapon
Of mass destruction
We need to
Find courage
Overcome
Inaction is a weapon
Of mass destruction
Inact

The skin under my chin
Is exploding again
I'm getting stress
From some other children
I'm holding it in
We takin' sides like a politician
And if I get friction
We get to fightin'
I'll defend my Dad
He's the best of all men
And whatever he's doin'
He's doin' the right thing
It's frightening
But it makes me mad
Why do all of these people
Seem to hate my dad?
And if that ain't enough
Now I get these spots
I go to sleep every night
With my stomach in knots
And what's more
I can hear Momma next door
Explore the radio
For reports of war
And all we ever seem to do
Is hide the tears
Seems like Daddy been gone
For years
But he was right
Now I'm geared up
For the fight
And he would be
Proud of me
When daddy came home, tonight

Listen here kid:

Whether long range weapon
Or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon
Of mass destruction
Whether you're Soaraway Sun
Or BBC One
Misinformation is a weapon
Of mass destruc
You coulda Caucasian
Or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon
Of mass destruction
Whether inflation
Or globalization
Fear
Is a weapon
Of mass destruction
Whether Halliburton,
Enron or anyone
Greed
Is a weapon
Of mass destruction
We need to
Find courage
Overcome
Inaction is a weapon
Of mass destruction

My story stops here
Let's be clear
This scenario is
Happening everywhere
And you ain't going to nirvana
Or far-vana
You're coming right
Back here
To live out your karma
With even more drama
Than previously

Seriously

Just how many centuries
Have we been waitin'
For someone else
To make us free?

And we refuse to see
That people overseas suffer
Just like we:
Bad leadership and egos
Unfettered and free
Who feed on the people
They're supposed to lead
I don't need good people
To pray and wait
For the Lord to
Make it all straight

There's only now
Do it right
'Cause I don't want your daddy
Leavin' home tonight
Leavin' home tonight
