Data Insight

Eight of the ten tracks are written by the three of them and five carry nobody else. The other two are covers, a Blancmange song and a Bob Marley song, which is the only time in the catalogue a Faithless album track has no member on the credit at all. Maxi Jazz is on every original here and on nothing after it.

The Dance came out on the band's own Nate's Tunes label in May 2010, reached number 2 in the United Kingdom and is certified gold by the BPI. It was the last album with Maxi Jazz.
