This debut album is a touchstone of alternative hip-hop. Housed in iconic, surrealist artwork, it produced the monster hit “Set Adrift on Memory Bliss,” which sampled Spandau Ballet’s “True.” A 320 Kbps rip of this album reveals the gauzy production in full glory.

Originally featured on the Boomerang soundtrack, this breathtakingly romantic track features Prince Be showcasing his vulnerable, soulful vocal range over a minimalist yet lush beat. In 320 Kbps, the subtle breathiness and emotional inflections in his voice are crisp and clear.

2. The Bliss Album...? (Vibrations of an Cosmic Birth and the Journey Towards Inner Peace) (1993)

PM Dawn, the innovative American hip-hop and R&B duo, redefined the boundaries of 1990s urban music with their atmospheric production, poetic lyrics, and soul-stirring melodies. Comprised of brothers Prince Be (Attrell Cordes) and DJ Minutemenz (Jarrett Cordes), their sound was a breath of fresh air amidst the harder-edged hip-hop landscape, blending dreamy synth landscapes with jazz samples and soulful vocals. For fans looking to experience this sonic tapestry in its highest quality——this guide covers their essential albums and singles. Why 320 Kbps?
