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

Lush electronic soundscaping with soaring, ethereal female vocals, emotive beats and colourful world elements. Delerium's unique style blossoms once again here in full opulent glory - the undulating synth arrangements, multi-layered and constantly varying are at their richest; strings, pianos and all manner of the global waves and samples fill the air with an exotic scent, the percussive structures inhabit that twilight space somewhere between live and digital, organic ethnic loops deftly entwined. Deep flutes and eastern wires frequently thicken the atmosphere and spacious interludes allow the synths room to evolve and shine - cycling, morphing arpeggios, doleful drones, beautiful shifting melodies. Many of the songs are wordless or sultry, moody affairs that work in smooth conjunction with the sumptuous programming, quirky, catchy themes that hit angelic highs and wistful lows brimming with emotion

Remixed: The Definitive Collection is a career encompassing compilation of the music that led the legendary Canadian alt-pop duo to over a million albums sold in North America alone. The collection includes hit songs like "Silence" featuring multi-Platinum recording artist Sarah McLachlan, "Innocente" featuring Sixpence None The Richer lead vocalist Leigh Nash, and "Angelicus" featuring the highly esteemed Armenian-Canadian soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian. Now, these memorable singles have been remixed by some of today's top electronic producers, including Tiësto, Niels Van Gogh, Deep Dish, Above & Beyond and DJ Dan. The 12 brilliant tracks are presented as a continuous mix and also include two new songs: "Send Me An Angel" featuring Miranda Lee Richards, and "Dust In Gravity" featuring Canadian R'n'B sensation Kreesha Turner.

2010 release, the first-ever acoustic album from the legendary and influential Canadian Electronic duo. Voice: An Acoustic Collection is comprised of previously unreleased versions of Delerium's most memorable tracks, which are beautifully transformed into stripped down, acoustic renditions that serve justice to their ambient, Electronic Pop originals. Voice: An Acoustic Collection features serene interpretations of Delerium's most successful singles, including 'Silence' (featuring Sarah McLachlan), 'Lost And Found' (featuring Jael), 'Innocente' (featuring Leigh Nash), and 'Flowers Become Screens' (featuring Kristy Thirsk). The album also includes three brand new songs in the acoustic style: 'Too Late Farewell' (featuring Butterfly Boucher), 'Send Me An Angel' (featuring Miranda Lee Richards) and 'Vienna' (featuring Elsiane).

Delerium’s Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb lighten up their sound on Chimera, as the darker fixations of early records like Morpheus retreat yet further into the background. After Sarah McLachlan’s lovely turn on the single "Silence," and the massive success of 1997’s Karma, the duo have dutifully embraced their winning combination of ethereal female vocalists and ambient dance-pop. On Chimera, the formula yields a few worthy singles, such as the limber and catchy "Love" and "Run For It" (featuring Sixpence None The Richer’s Leigh Nash). And while the record too often settles for disposable, bland pop ("Touched" and "Magic," for instance), it also delivers potent hooks and moments of inspiration that will keep the band’s fan base happy. --Matthew Cooke
