Utah Saints are a British dance band from Leeds in West Yorkshire. The music is produced by Jez Willis and Tim Garbutt, who are joined on-stage by other musicians whenever the band plays live. Utah Saints were one of the early pioneers of bringing sampling technology into mainstream dance and pop music, and have also gained a certain notoriety for the long gap between releases - their follow-up, Two, came seven years after their debut.
They were described as the first true stadium house band (by Bill Drummond), though their music is difficult to place into one particular genre and they have been compared to Underworld, Fluke, The KLF, and even Ministry or Nine Inch Nails.
They first had chart success with the singles What Can You Do For Me, Something Good and Believe In Me, which they described as their vocal sample trilogy as those singles sampled Gwen Guthrie, Kate Bush and Human League respectively (What Can You Do For Me also features a sample from Eurythmics). Contrary to one rumour, the band were not sued by Kate Bush over the use of a sample from Bush’s track Cloudbusting in the Utah Saints track Something Good, the sample was legally cleared before use. Utah Saints then moved away from vocal samples with singles such as I Want You and I Still Think Of You (Jez Willis providing original vocals on each).

Something Good 08 fucking sucks, its sickening. The original is so much more superior its quite disheartning, although at least its still more popular on here.

I'd like to be able to give the original mixes of Something Good a chance because I love Katie and this kind of remix really makes sense to me but unfortunately there is some tool screaming "Utah Saints" during the music. It surprises me that with such nonsense the track obtained any popularity at all. How about everybody scream something stupid in otherwise listenable music? That is my number one recommendation for success in the music industry. :^)

I would have assumed the reincarnation of Something Good would help introduce people to Utah Saints' back catalog. The Top Tracks list proves otherwise. :(
