"After purchasing their U.S. released album "Quiet Letters", i cannot help searching for their other albums. Afterlife is their another masterpiece i could find. This album is their debut album released only in Denmark, is out of print for a long time. It is a good introduction of Bliss for any chill-out lover and contains several peaceful and beautiful songs. The most impressive features of bliss music is their use of orchestra accompaniment, which makes its ambience much closer to the movie soundtrack. So there is no surprise for someone compare it with Ennio Morricone. Anyway, I really love it and will continue to enjoy it time and time again!"

""Afterlife" is the Bliss collection before "Quiet Letters," which became an international sensation and introduced the masses to the lush beauty of their music. Two of the tracks on "Afterlife" appeared later on "Quiet Letters," and you can tell a slight difference in the mix; much of the production on "Afterlife" is more uneven than "Quiet Letters," though it does nothing to devalue the songs, which are of the same tone and pace. You can hear the evolution of their sound between the two collections, so it's a nice companion piece as well. Bliss adheres to the same aesthetic in their music without repeating themselves song to song, the mark of any accomplished artist. My only complaint? I bought "Afterlife" because it's been five years since "Quiet Letters," and I was thirsting for more of their music. Taking your time to get it right is admirable, but the lapse between collections may soon take on Axl Rose proportions if they're not careful. Bliss: New music please!"
