BLISS 100: "BLISS VOLUME ONE HUNDRED" compilation tape. Indiepop, mostly the homemade variety, plus some impressive glam-disco-pop from Romeo Trading Co, a song from Ben Calvert (one of the few singer/songwriters who has been compared to Nick Drake who actually sounds similar to him), and some quirky instrumental music from The Radiator Experts. Also includes Ian Simpson, The Unspeakable Turks, Junkbunny, B Sizzey, Greg Murray and Fernando (Argentina).

BLISS 101: "BLISS VOLUME ONE HUNDRED AND ONE" compilation tape, mostly various types of indie-rock, indiepop and noisepop, plus an ingenious mix of folk and dance music from The Men-An-Tol Project, and instrumental music from Agustin Criollo & Francisco J Torres (the first track is a mixture of styles, the second is more post-rock). Also includes Holster, The Hamptons, Morose, Mellow Drive, The Ministers, Distant Sun and Baggage.

BLISS 102: "BLISS VOLUME ONE HUNDRED AND TWO" compilation tape with Halftime Oranges, Anna Kashfi, Mind Candy, B Sizzey & V, Timo, Small Town Boredom, The Beaker People, La Pieta, Debaser and Bulldog. Most songs on this tape can be loosely classed as indiepop - there are several different types of indiepop here, ranging from 80s style to country tinged to homemade to instrumental and more.

BLISS 104: KAYE/POLOPOP "Harlequin Collection" 16 track tape. A very talented singer/songwriter who records folky songs under her own name and electronic pop songs under the name of Polopop.

BLISS 107: MOROSE/THE COLOURS SEEN FROM BEHIND "The Worst Of..." 16 track tape of demos, outtakes and rare tracks from these lo-fi pop/noisepop/indierock bands from Italy. Mauro from both bands assures me the title is ironic, and I'm inclined to agree. This is good homemade music, both quiet and noisy.
