Bliss - A Hundred Thousand Angels

Fast becoming a spiritual classic, this album and its title song are finding their way all around the world. Recently covered by Sinead 0'Connor the title track is a haunting affirmation that there are a hundred thousand angels by your side. Put this album on and prepare for the hairs on the hack of your neck to stand up.

 

Five stars does not do this album justice. This is not an album to play as background music. To get its full effect, one needs to just sit quietly, and listen. There are subtle nuances to these songs that one will not hear at low volume or on a cheap stereo, so turn it up a little. Very few musicans today can put silence into their songs, but Bliss has mastered the silence. The female vocals are truly angelic. After 4 years of Vipasana meditation, the artist's voice as you hear it here just appeared and this album was the first effort. If you look for beauty in music, you must add this to your collection. You will not be disappointed. I have been in tears numerous times listening, and although you will be touched by the first song, for me the album gets even better and after the third time sitting quietly, I was ecstatic. People always like to say that an album is like this one, or this voice is like that one, but refrain from that and just be with this music.
