Music reviews of Delirium
Music Review: the cirque with a dash of pop
Rating: 5 Stars
I am a big fan of Cirque du Soleil. I have attended as many of the shows as possible so there is little that the "Cirque" can do that I would dislike. "Delerium" however exceeds even my expectations. The Cirque music usually is a new age/classical/world(Zumanity is the exception) musical collage with thrilling vocals thrown in to enhance the show. Thsi soundtrack adds another dimension to the cirque sound by incorporating rock sensibilities into the songs.
"Cold flame" would proudly open any arena rock show. "Too high" and "la nova alegria" are great club tracks that would sound great in the mega danceclubs in Miami or New York. "Walk on water" is French trip hop at its best. "Alone" is a new wave tango that would make the Gotan Project proud. "Let me fall" is a power ballad. I could go on and on but you have to listen to it from start to finish...the 30 second sampling just won't give it any justice. And see the show(Delirium)... it is an AUDITORY and VISUAL experience.
Description of Delirium
The music of Cirque du Soleil as you have never heard it. Uplifting Pop/Rock melodies mixed with exciting electronica sounds.
The album DELIRIUM delves into Cirque du Soleil?s music catalogue to present a selection of pieces by René Dupéré (KÀ, Alegria), Benoit Jutras (O, La Nouba) and Violaine Corradi (Varekai). The originals have been transformed by producer Francis Collard into new works that combine percussion with electronics and world music. The result is a striking pop sound, blending percussive rhythms with reincarnated Cirque du Soleil tunes and melodies. The words are primarily in English; Robbie Dillon, who contributed texts to the show ZUMANITY, wrote the new English lyrics. The voices in this eclectic mix include Brazilian Italo-Cuban Dessy Di Lauro and French-Canadian artist Jacynthe.
About the Show: DELIRIUM is a music show currently touring arenas across North America, a spectacle of unprecedented proportions that pushes the limits of arena performance. It recounts an urban fable, recreating a larger-than-life universe where music, dance and theatre blend with gigantic projections on vast surfaces. Larger than life!
Delirium is Cirque du Soleil's idea of a greatest-hits package. Accompanying a show that's more music-driven than usual, the album is based on past Cirque songs--but unlike in Le Best Of, they're updated with new lyrics by Robbie Dillon and retooled by producer Francis Collard. The first song, "Cold Flame," is pretty typical, sounding both modern and traditional, a mix embodied by Elie Haroun's often Sting-like vocals. The most interesting tracks are the one that best embody Cirque's East-meets-West, everything-old-is-new-again ethos: "Too High," with its propulsive dance beat and Middle Eastern accents; "A Walk on Water" with its French-language rap; "La Nova Alegría," layering Brazilian-flavored guitars and a regular, pounding thump. Overall the more thoughtful songs, which often threaten to devolve into sap ("Let Me Fall"), don't work as well as the danciest ones ("One Love" is a real corker that sounds like it'd be a classic in European discothèques). Biggest missed opportunity: Britain's Nitin Sawhney contributes only a brief spoken interlude to "Lifeline." --Elisabeth Vincentelli
