The Best of Delerium
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 more

- Very good music
I only found a couple of selections that I liked but that's typical. You pay 20 bucks for two songs. I bought if for "That's price of falling in Love". Love that piece. The rest is OK.

This album was very nice. I would have done it a bit different, but then we all have different tastes. I love "Paris", that is such a fun song. Another great song that I thought was great was "Flowers Become Screens", this sounds like a...

- Great Overview and Collection
I have many of the Delerium CD's but there are songs here that I have never heard before. This is an excellent compliation of the music of Delerium. I'm frankly surprised that they would make it as good as it is since you could buy it...

Silence - There is a reason this is on here three times, but thefirst dreamy and angelic version is my favorite. The only track I listen to on this album...repeatedly. ~The Rebecca Review
