![]() ![]() Looking at the BPM of this song, this song might go great with walking. Because of this, we believe that the song has an overall fast tempo.

Faithless disbanded after a 15-year run and 15 million sales. It became one of the band’s biggest hits and, as if to underline its classic status, resurfaced in the charts some ten years later. Insomnia, though, had the sound that Faithless would become known for: big melodies, big production and huge impact. It’s not the out-and-out dance album you might imagine but actually a mixture of material. They started out in 1995 and released Insomnia from their debut album, Reverence.

We’re not, it must be said, encouraging you to copy other people’s ideas, just some of their working practices. We’ll look at the arrangement, production tricks and composition practice of a different piece of music each month to determine what made it a classic in the first place. These articles are about how classic tracks were produced and how you can use elements of their production in your own compositions.
