Data Insight

Nine of the ten tracks carry nobody outside the band, the highest share of any Faithless record. Most of them run on a blanket credit to the three of them, with Jamie Catto joining on two. It is a first album written entirely in house and it stayed on the chart long after the singles did.

Reverence came out on Cheeky in April 1996 and is certified platinum by the BPI. "Insomnia", "Salva Mea" and "Don't Leave" all came off it, and the album reached number 26 in the United Kingdom.
