Enjoy Eternal Bliss
Encyclopedia
Enjoy Eternal Bliss was a debut EP
recorded by the instrumental
band Yndi Halda
and released on the Big Scary Monsters Recording Company
in the UK; Burnt Toast Vinyl
in the USA and XTAL Records in Japan. It was first made available online on November 13, 2006 before being released in shops in February 2007. The EP was previously self-released as a 3-track demo
through the band's website and live performances. This version of the EP did not include the track "A Song For Starlit Beaches".
The title "EP" is often called into question due to the record's length. Indeed, only the UK edition of "Enjoy Eternal Bliss" was titled as such - in all other territories it was renamed as an LP
or full-length album on behalf of the band.
Ranked second in The Silent Ballet's Top 50 Instrumental Releases of 2005.
