Since 2001, this multicultural chill-out group has released material on famed Danish label Music for Dreams and has appeared on more than 200 compilations, including the soundtrack from the hit feature film <i>Sex & The City</i>. The members of the group hail from Denmark, Sweden and West Africa, and their music reflects this diversity. Indeed, they have quickly become one of the go-to groups for shows like <I>CSI: Crime Scene Investigation</I> and are often tapped to provide music for television ads by Mercedes and DKNY. Their music was also featured in the feature-length films <i>Passion of the Christ</i> and Steven Spielberg's <i>Munich</i>. Bliss' chilled compositions have been compared to those of artists including Sade, Norah Jones and Ennio Morricone. But where those artists stick to the tried-and-true pop formula, Bliss' music aims toward the New Age compositional form. Their U.S. debut album, <i>Quiet Letters</i>, featured gentle ethnic percussion and mysterious orchestration with guest vocalist Sophie Barker from famed downtempo heroes Zero 7. Bliss take the quiet road and invite us on a journey through a lush netherworld of calming soundscapes. - Nicholas BakerDowntempoen720Wed, 9 Dec 2009 13:33:11 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7485007&rws=%2Fbliss-3%2Fmusic-videos.rss Close your eyes and float amongst the dreamy music that is Bliss.
