Best Delirium album IMOI was first introduced to Delirium by my boyfriend (now husband) with Semantic Spaces and was blown away. He latter introduced me to the `old school' Delirium (which I absolutely loved) and some of the newer Delirium after Semantic Spaces (which I am not a huge fan of). In my opinion, no previous or following Delirium album is able to match this one. This is the best.
I love this album because it incorporates a melancholy tone, yet it's sexy and strong at the same time. The album takes you on a journey from the start to finish, meshing one song into another. It just all flows really well, not to mention the vocals are unique and captivating. I know people of all walks of life who have enjoyed this album when I played it for them; from the depressed gothic girl to the chipper sports fanatic. It's not as dark, hard and depressing as the `old school' stuff, yet not as mainstream as the newer stuff. It's a happy medium in my opinion, not too dark, not too poppy.
Semantic Spaces ~ DeleriumSemantic Spaces can be seen as transitional album between the old and new delerium. It sounds nothing like the old delerium which was albums like Stone Tower, Euphoric and the like and sounds more like their later releases such as Karma, Poem and Chimera whilst not being nearly as light or dance friendly. The biggest difference between the old and new delerium is the fact that they asked Kristy Thirsk to write some lyrics and to sing with her "angelic vocals" (yes that is the term used in the book-let) and the end result is nothing short of being stupendous and astounding. I love the selection of sounds and one can tell that their equipment is much better and the keyboards used have better sounds then on previous recordings. I love the book-let and the pictures seem to have been chosen with greater care then on previous records. sexy music!From the moment I first heard this CD I loved it. Sends me into a beautiful trancelike mindspace. I've got other albums from Delerium, Enigma and Amethystium but none of them transport me where this CD does. Simply sexy music! |
