Music reviews of The Best of Delerium
Music Review: "Best of"... is "Truly (Wise Buddah Edit)" the best...
Rating: 5 Stars
This is definitely the best of Delerium from their work on their 4 major album releases: Semantic Spaces to their most recent, Chimera. A decade of beautiful music.
So unlike most "Best Of" albums out there, this is a very good compilation of their best singles... including a few re-mix singles (though some true Delerium fans would have to disagree because Delerium's earlier work, like Spheres, were not included). Ten years (Semantic Spaces was released in 1994 and Chimera released in 2003, spread over 10 years) of Delerium. So anyone who does not own any Delerium albums, but would like a sample of their greatest, this is the album for you. Good balance of re-mixes and selections from their albums. Trip-hop beats, beautiful instrumental melodies, layers of gothic to electronic to ambient sounds, etheral and moving vocals... Delerium is one of moving artists of it's genre, if you can truly classify what they do as one genre.
I recommend this to anyone who already are fans of Delerium as well. It has 2 un-released original songs by Delerium, available only though this album. "Paris" feat. Aude and "You + I" feat. Zoe Johnston. It also has a re-mix of the classic, "Silence (21st Century Remix" feat. Sarah McLachlan by Above and Beyond. It is another great re-mix, featured on the upcoming updated single of "Silence", Silence 2004. The two new songs and re-mix are worth it... Instead of the original versions, re-mixes of "Truly (Wise Buddah Edit)" and "Underwater (Above and Beyond 21st Century Remix)" are put on this outstanding compilation.
Tracks are as follows (all songs are not truly original, they are all edited for time, original appearence of tracks are listed next to songs):
01. "Flowers Become Screens" feat. Kristy Thirsk [Semantic Spaces]
02. "Silence" feat. Sarah McLachlan [Karma]
03. "Paris" feat. Aude [previously un-released] *
04. "Truly (Wise Buddah Edit)" feat. Nirina Pallot [Truly - Single, original version on Chimera]
05. "Terra Firma" feat. Aude [Poem]
06. "Incantation" feat. Kristy Thirsk [Semantic Spaces]
07. "After All" feat. Jael of Lunik [Chimera]
08. "Underwater" (Above and Beyond 21st Century Remix) feat. Rani [Underwater - Single, Odyssey: The Remix Collection, original version on Poem]
09. "Run For It" feat. Leigh Nash [Chimera]
10. "Remembrance", Instrumental [Karma]
11. "You & I" feat. Zoe Johnston [previously un-released] **
12. "Innocente" feat. Leigh Nash [Poem]
13. "Euphoria" (Firefly) feat. Jacqui Hunt [Karma]
14. "Silence (Above and Beyond 21st Century Remix" feat. Sarah McLachlan [previously un-released] ***
* "Paris" feat. Aude is a song that is reminiscent of Johann Pachelbel's masterpiece, "Canon". Very similar in style and sound of the [Poem] album.
** "You + I" feat. Zoe Johnston, is a unique, amazing track, most likely recorded during the recording of [Chimera] though most likely not used on the album because of its very different sound and mood (I was thinking more of Conjure One when I heard this). Zoe's vocals shine in this track, beautifully done. Beautiful track.
*** "Silence (Above and Beyond 21st Century Remix)" feat. Sarah McLachlan, is a great re-mix of the all-time classic. Similar in fast layered trance beats of Above and Beyond's other remixes, this one is no different in quality of sound and arrangement. Nice new remix.
If the great song playlist isn't enough, the artwork on the album should be able to pull you in. Artwork for Delerium is credited to the wonderful, Carylann Loeppky. Her artwork seen on the Best Of album should not go un-noticed, it is her best. It is strange and beautiful at the same time resulting in a great combination of emotions.
A album highly recommended to all.
Description of The Best of Delerium
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.Delerium was the perfect diamond chipped out of the blasted earth of Front Line Assembly. A collaboration between FLA's Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb, Delerium took them to the opposite pole of their prior industrial electronic sound. Where FLA was a group that would just as soon sledgehammer Pachebel's "Canon in C," Delerium turns it into a dance number of ethereal seduction called "Paris." Drawing from their recordings for Nettwerk Records, this collection focuses on the seductive side of Delerium with chilled electro-dance rhythms and the bevy of ethereal girls they've used to front their project. Of course, Sarah McLachlan's "Silence," a yearning hymn for heaven, is here in it's original and a remixed version. "Silence" remains Delerium's greatest hit, but there are many equally compelling tracks including songs with Leigh Nash of Sixpence None the Richer and early works featuring a little-known singer, Kristy Thirsk. It was Thirsk who established Delerium's penchant for gothic lyricism on "Flowers Become Screens." While their recent CD, Chimera, shows a slick tendency toward the middle of the road, this retrospective highlights Delerium's crafty merger of techno-dance grooves and diva-driven lyricism. --John Diliberto
