Huge Disappointment

"I am such a HUGE fan of this Denmark group and willingly pay a higher price for their imports (**be careful--several groups, for some wacky reason, all have this same name. "Bliss UK" is NOT this group!).



It seems it took forever for this album to be released, and I was practically drooling all over myself when it finally appeared. Long story short: that Sophie chick from Zero 7 must have financially backed it or something, for although I usually like her voice "here and there," this entire thing is like a demo for her. Frankly, and I never thought I would ever say this, I find some of her vocals here quite grating. And amateurishly experimental sounding, which she is not. The fabulous arrangements and the outstanding abilities of the musicians are still here, but on the whole, I am sadly disappointed. That said, my fav track is "American Heart" with Boy George et al. I guess I'm just going to sit back and wait another five years or so for their next one and hope it will be as good as their previous three (Afterlife, Quiet Letters, They Made History) that I have."

Sublime music for the soul
