北欧音乐的典范

很有北欧提琴曲子的感觉，开始还以为Epilogue是secret garden的作品，现在才知道是bliss的，典型的北欧式伤感，和以前听的专辑风格不一样，没有那样Lounge,没有太多的人声混入（我朋友说Enigma是和尚念经加大鼓，所以我每次听到人声就想到这个）。在bliss的3张专辑里我现在喜欢这个多一点，不过也是看心情了，我觉得这个专辑更体现了bliss的艺术功力之深后，特别是they made history，很古典。

这个专辑是一个电视节目的ost，大概是采访历史人物的。转一个外文资料


A Danish television series, ‘They made History’ sees journalist Steffen Kretz interview some of the worlds most influential figures (Madeleine Albright, Benazir Bhutto, Frederik de Klerk, Shimon Peres, Desmond Tutu and Viktor Yushchenko) about the world changing decisions they made and how they came to make them. Accompanying this series is a stunning soundtrack produced by Danish music collective ‘Bliss’.

Around an hour in length, ‘They Made History’ is not the type of album that can be picked apart track by track, rather, it works as a complete piece that gently unfolds scene by scene. Moving at a slow, calm, but highly engaging pace, Bliss effectively meld jazz, classical, Arabic, African and Asian sounds with evocative vocals and intricate layers of electronica. From serene and seductive to uncertain and sombre, there is an overwhelming level of depth and emotion here, all of which reflects the seriousness of the subject matter that it is accompanying.

Hailing from Denmark (Steffen Aaaskoven, Marc George), Sweden (Alexandra Hamnede) and Guinea-Bissau, West Africa (Salvador “Tchando” Embalo), Bliss have truly set the pace for original, sensitive and very cool, underground chill-out. ‘They Made History’ is pure indulgence deserving of some private time and space.
