Album lore

Issued in 1990 by Chrysalis Records, The Beloved's *Blissed Out (Bonus Version)* assembles a suite of sixteen tracks steeped in the Madchester milieu, where synthpop’s sheen meets electronic pulse. The album’s signature piece, “The Sun Rising,” here presented as Norty’s Spago Mix, showcases the group’s penchant for melding lush synthesizers with dancefloor sensibilities. Additional mixes such as “Up, Up and Away (Happy Sexy mix)” and “Time After Time (Muffin Mix)” featuring Lezlee Lyrix, further document the era’s remix culture, emphasizing rhythmic variation and layered textures.This release captures a moment when electronic pop was unfolding its lexicon, with The Beloved navigating between accessible melodies and club-ready beats. The inclusion of multiple reinterpretations of core tracks, including “Your Love Takes Me Higher” and “Hello,” offers a window into the period’s production practices and the dialog between artist and remixer. Though it counts fewer than a thousand listeners on Last.fm, the record remains a notable artifact for those tracing the lineage of early ’90s British electronic music.
