The Best of Delerium

For: $12.97

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

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 01, 2007 Type: User Review 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...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 05, 2007 Type: User Review 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 and have...

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 02, 2006 Type: User Review Nice Blend

This album is a nice blend of 14 really good tracks by Delerium. There is not a single song that I skip on this CD. From what I have read and listened to, if you are going to buy only one Delerium album, make it this one. There are some...

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 20, 2006 Type: User Review Angelic and Dreamy

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

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 15, 2005 Type: User Review Didn't flow

The album didn't flow for me. I know greatest hits albums aren't supposed to, but this was what I enjoyed about their previous albums. Evanescence's Origin album flows as well, much better than Fallen.

Even though it had two good...

This is an amazing compilation of hits and remixes from the 'new Delerium. Tracks such as truly, flowers become stairs, underwater and silence are all included. For the Delerium fan that started liking them after semantic spaces, karma, poem, and...

From: Amazon Posted: May 11, 2005 Type: User Review Couldn't ask for a better intro to this studio team

If you're a fan of electronica, dance, trance, chill-out, Best Of is the mother load. I have pretty much all of Delerium's albums and this collection is an excellent distillation of many of their most memorable tracks. I'd describe their music...
