@ Germansherlockfan
Wow!.Kristallnaach by BAP, what a brillant choice!

@ eurydike
I don't think that Faithless split. They already had longer breaks before.

**Posted by Germansherlockfan** August 3, 2014 9:32 pm

@gently69: I had to think about this category quite a bit, I wanted to choose a really meaningful song and then suddenly Kristallnaach came to my mind, it's still such a moving and important song.

**Posted by gently69** August 3, 2014 9:37 pm

It definitely is. Especially because BAP also managed it to show a connection to the presence ... mentioning a dark occasion of the past.

Breaks, yes. But this time they called it the end and they gave final concerts, so...

There's still hope, of course, but for now they no longer exist as a band.

**Posted by gently69** August 4, 2014 6:41 am

They really did? Oh sh ... Didn't know that.

Yeah, back in 2011. I was quite devastated, their live performances are one of a kind and it broke my heart that I wouldn't get to see them play live ever again. Well, too bad.
