1997; Born for Bliss, existing since 1994, awakes with the overwhelming "Flowing with the Flue". The roots of this fact are placed over a decade ago. In those times the dutch Born for Bliss-members Frank Weyzig and Willem van Antwerpen created thrilling sounds together
with the still cultic (Clan of) Xymox.
During the most exiting period of this electronic-wave legend (mid till end of the 80s), Frank and Wim have been involved in this band. From this period result the first two Xymox albums which are still classic highlights.
Since 1995 the third member of Born for Bliss is Remco Helbers. He found his way to Born for Bliss via the Dreamside and Love Like Blood on stage. With his very own style of playing the Chapman Stick, Remco adds a special dimension to the Born for Bliss-sound.
Together, this trio guarantees an ultimate seductive soundoutput which was proved impressively by their prereleased cd-single "Arabia" (for 'Nuclear Blast - Deathwish Office') in 1996.
In the same year this single became an addicting clubhit and made it's way high into the german alternative charts. Those of you who have seen the band that year on their german tour know that Born for Bliss stands for an impressive live-show!
We're back in 1997. Now 'Flowing with the Flue'
marks Born for Bliss long desired longplay-debut.
"With Impressive elegance
the band produced a couple of fascenating pearls. The
prickling melodic changes
between melancholy
and dynamic along with 80s
charme and 90s-scenery
will not only electrify all
wave fans!"
"The sounding potpourri impresses with original songwriting, interesting arrangements and
charismatic vocals.
Already
in the first week
after its release 'Flowing
with the Flue' entered high into the german alternative album-charts!"
In 1999, They finished the final recordings for their latest album "Between Living and Dreaming", mixed at the famous Impulse Tonstudio in Hamburg by J.P. Genkel, known for his work with 'Lacrimosa' and 'Cradle of Filth'.

I can hear you think..... What's all this fuzz about
Born For Bliss? The band doesn't even exist anymore!
Well, let me explain......
We share this space with you to keep the memory alive
and to give our fans who supported us during the late 90's
a chance to listen to the songs of our never before released
album; "Between Living and Dreaming".
After recording this album in 1999, the band split up due
to all kinds of problems with our management and record-
company. At that time, frustrated as we were, we somehow
never found the energy to do a final effort to release the
album....
Since then, the three of us have been working individually
on different music-projects. However, the past few years
me and Remco started to work together again and this
renewed partnership resulted in the StarGazing Project......
(see the link in our top-8 friends list...)
One night, while we were thinking about how to release
the StarGazing Project, we recalled the painful ending of
Born For Bliss, and our never released final album.
After playing these long forgotten songs (...I had to strip-
search my complete studio before I finally found the original recordings!..), we both were stunned by the freshness and
the dynamic of the songs.
Yes, we immediately agreed..........
This album deserves a second chance!.........
And that's were we are now. The album is edited and
remastered and ready to see life after all!
On this page, four songs of the album are available for
listening. If you are interested in the complete album and
want to find out how to order a copy, then please visit our
official homepage (click on the link below). Here you find
all the new songs and our previous releases together with
interviews, reviews, clips and more interesting info
about the band's history.....
Thanks for visitng our space and showing interest in
Born For Bliss!
Let's keep the memory alive...........

You can now directly purchase many of our songs via our MySpace page for $.79 each, including rare tracks not available anywhere else.
Our only wish is that when you purchased a song, your computer would produce one of our hand-made covers to match. Sadly, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t make this happen. But you do get instant gratification for $.79.

During next two months before we finish and release our projects , we will place many of the songs from these albums so that you can get full view on it.
All the girls out there are totally lying when they tell you that size does not matter. Want proof?
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that Joey has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow pills from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them. JATCE.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with pill bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from JATCE.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his prick and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at JATCE.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the pills will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing. JATCE.COM
holy fucking shit i just tried one of those ringtone sites advertised on myspace and they really do work...i got some crystal clear ringtones for my phone instantly. i am talking about some cadillac shit here! you just gotta see for yourself, just copy and paste this site in your browser: http://www.mobefwerg.com
