More Info Re-issue der CDR von 2005, zu der wir damals bekundeten: 'Unglaublicher one-tracker, der recht konventionell beginnt (metallig-rockig-rhythmisch), sich aber allmählich in einen extremem Drone-Strudel verwandelt, der alles halluzinogen in sich hinabzuziehen zu scheint & wo vielerlei Sounds spiralenförmig verwirbelt werden.... extrem hypnotisch-energetisch und sub-bassig.... was DANIEL MENCHE in Sachen „power-drone“ ist, scheint hier NADJA im Bereich „guitar-doom-drone“ zu erschaffen.. genius stuff !!' Diese neue Version wurde von JAMES PLOTKIN re-mastered und ist etwas länger... eines unser absoluten Lieblings-NADJA-Stücke! "Profound Lore's second collaboration with NADJA comes in the form of the revamped, augmented, and altered Bliss Torn From Emptiness. Given the ultimate facelift from its original CDR release, and now expanded into a massive three-track plunge (with a mastering job via JAMES PLOTKIN), Bliss Torn From Emptiness is a sprawling and meticulously crafted epic where controlled ambience and static crawls through a murk of claustrophobic cerebral chaos. Yet through the sprawling mass of overbearing feedback and noise, Bliss Torn From Emptiness, just like Bodycage (and what has been a characteristic within Nadja's music) also employs a character of pure celestial grace through an elegantly deposited sound picture that brings the cinematic vibe of Nadja to new heights." [label info] "....Unlike the more fluid washed out shimmer of later Nadja, Bliss finds the band lurching and pounding, almost industrial, with plenty of Godflesh going on. The drums, a staggering stuttering staccato, the guitars long streaks of blistering psych blur, gauzy clouds of whir and buzz, the whole song like some massive sonic beast, lumbering into the twilit night. The melody and mood intense and emotional, very cinematic, and very darkly dramatic. As the record progresses (it's a three part suite), the rhythms smooth out a bit, slow down, lurch less and groove more, the atmospherics growing more shimmery and soft focus, with more stretches of tranquility, softly processed vocals, glimmering minimal drones, gauzy glitchery, while remaining really really heavy, the final part, after a looooong stretch of fuzzy warble and sun dappled drift, finishes off with a deafening supernova of sound, the guitars so white hot that they almost drown out the drums completely, a swirling chaotic soundscape, all end of the world psych blow out and bleary eyed solar eclipse shoegaze, a bit like playing ALL your M83 records at the same time and blasting them through loudspeakers mounted on satellites, showering the planet with brilliant blinding shards of glorious buzz."
