The Bliss Album...?

Performer: P.M. Dawn
Artist: Cathy Dennis; Boy George
Engineer: Tyrell; Michael Fossenkemper
Producer: P.M. Dawn
Distributor: Alternative Dis. Alliance

Notes: P.M. Dawn: Prince Be (vocals, keyboards); Tyrell (keyboards, piano, guitar, acoustic guitar, Rhodes). Additional personnel: Tony Love (acoustic guitar); Herbie Tribino, Robert Musso (guitar); Max Ellen, Gene Orloff, Elliott Rosoff, Marti Sweet, Regis Iandioro, Sandra Park, Abe Appleman (violin); Alfred Brown, Mitsue Takayama (viola); Fred Zlotkin, Susan Poliacik (cello); Cheryl Cordes (background vocals); Cathy Dennis, Boy George. Recorded at Gee Studios and Strongroom, London, England; Soundtrack Studio and Clinton Studio, New York. Two years after the acclaimed Jersey City duo hit the scene with their enormously successful debut, OF THE HEART, OF THE SOUL, AND OF THE CROSS, the brothers Cordes return with another work of positivistic peaceful hip-hop. Featuring a handful of unlikely collaborations (including Boy George and Brit-pop diva Cathy Dennis), pop-influenced samples (George Michael's "Father Figure"), and covers (The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood"), THE BLISS ALBUM sees Prince Be at his most lyrically uplifting and is widely considered to be P.M. Dawn's most well-rounded effort.

Rolling Stone (4/15/93, pp.60-61) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Prince Be and DJ Minutemix weave singular tunes out of everything that turns them on or bums them out....the esoteric turns downright earthy in the supple hands of P.M. Dawn..." Entertainment Weekly (4/2/93, p.50) - "...the duo effortlessly blend disparate elements--balladeering and rapping, samples and live orchestration--into gorgeous, wide-screen tableaux of sound..." - Rating: A- Entertainment Weekly (12/31/93, p.115) - Ranked #2 in Entertainment Weekly's list of `The Best & Worst Records Of 1993' - "...Hammer gave the concept of pop rap a bad name, but this duo takes the idea and does more than run with it--they've perfected it...." Q (4/93, p.80) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...[P.M. Dawn] continue their romantic quest for happiness and the meaning of life in their own cerebral psychedelic style of seductive, melodic hip hop...those who found [their first album's] yearning images, appealing melodies and psychedelic touches so emotive will not be disappointed..." Village Voice (3/1/94, p.5) - Ranked #12 in the Village Voice's 1993 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll.
