Nuages du Monde

From: $12.97

There aren't a lot of musicians who actually start a trend, but as Delerium, Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb can take credit for the ethereal-girl genre of dream-pop electronica. From early releases like Karma, which included singer Sarah McLachlan, they've specialized in a mixture of lush, almost romantic electronica coupled with female singers that tend toward the ecstatic. Their latest album, Nuages du Monde, is no exception. Fulber and Leeb bring in a host of singers, from the operatic soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian to Punjabi Bollywood singer Kiran Ahluwalia. Also on board are old favorites the Medi?val B?bes, whose "Blow Northern Wind" is sampled and adapted with new vocals on "Extoller." Kristy Thrisk, who goes back to the earliest vocal works of Delerium on Semantic Spaces, returns, joined by Kirsty Hawkshaw--a singer who's already been a favorite foil for artists like BT, Orbital, and DJ Ti?sto. Along with Jael's "Lost and Found," Hawkshaw's "Fleeting Instant" is among the most likely pop singles from the disc. Like their previous album, Chimera, Nuages du Monde ("Clouds of the World") flirts dangerously with soporifically shlocky arrangements, but they've pulled back considerably, thickening the beats and trading synth strings for real on many tracks. The tribal "Sister Sojourn Ghost," the B?bes' second appearance on the disc, is one of the few tracks that play with the formula, as an uncharacteristically primal chant from the B?bes treads a dark, percussive groove. A bit more of that would have lifted Nuages du Monde beyond what seems to be a business-as-usual approach by Delerium. --John Diliberto

dream pop electronica

A longtime Delerium and Enigma fan since their first albums.

Each repeat listen brings up something new that I hadn't heard before and I feel as if I'm hearing a slightly different album every time.

Richly layered,...

Clasic Delerium

The group Delerium have matched their usuall high standard with this celtic middle eastern sound with a bulgarian folk feel blended in most original and very satisfying.

Delrium just simply amazes me with their music

I bought this CD. And it is very good. I like all the different things delerium has put out. This time around I am glad that they went back to the roots. I would highly recommend Delerium's music to everyone.

So nice, bought it twice

I wore out my copy of Karma (which needs to be replaced)this brings some of the same magic yet more evolved. I bought the last copy in town of this album & a friend loved Angelicus so much i had to turn to Amazon for a copy to send to her ASAP....
