after the great success of the first two „les ambassadeurs“ albums, abstrait music now presents the third album in the series. raphael marionneau aligns with bliss. the danish artists dj steffen aaskoven and classically trained marc-george andersen take the listeners on an outstanding trip from denmark right into the centre of the couch culture. The right protagonist he finally found in Bliss, whose compositions he used on many albums since the very beginning of „le café abstrait“. bliss were delighted to become a part of „les ambassadeurs“ and contribute with their assortment of ballads, vocals and classical songs a new course for the album. although influenced by different cultural aspects the distinctive sound of raphaël marionneau and bliss build a perfect symbiosis and the artists still are autarkic.
