Bliss

'Bliss' is an introduction to a more atmospheric and spiritual side of the Real World label. If the tracks selected for 'Bliss' are linked, it is thematically, by the fact that whilst they have been recorded at different times, in different locations, using vastly different instrumentation and styles, they exude a similar atmospheric and peaceful quality. 'Bliss' is chill-out music minus dolphin-squeals and exploitative, bogus ethno-sampled chanting. 'Bliss' features some of the most beautiful sounds you'll hear in '98.

'Bliss' includes exclusive contributions from established and acclaimed Real World artists, including the late, legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Sheila Chandra, The Grid, U Srinivas, and Grammy award-winning Michael Brook (who also produces several tracks ... as does Alex "Propellorhead" Gifford), the Afro Celt Sound System and label boss Peter Gabriel.

'Bliss' unites the most up-to-date recording technology with a myriad of global vocal and instrumental styles and techniques. 'Bliss' includes musical explorations of many diverse origins: Irish, Kenyan, Indian, Pakistani, English and Georgian, plus unique international fusions between Chinese/UK, Indian/Canadian, and multi-national collaborations (on 'Jam Nation' and Peter Gabriel's 'Zaar').
