Editorial Review:
The novelty was stripmined from ethnobeat pop long ago, and this skin-deep confection is surprising only in its lack of edge and invention. On the plus side, the melodies are textured and lush, the beats entrancing, and a parade of gifted singers--Kristy Thirsk, Jacqui Hunt, and Sarah McLachlan included--bill and coo impressively. Lead single "Euphoria (Firefly)" has spark and spirit, while "Enchanted" and "Duende" are strong vehicles for Thirsk and Camille Henderson respectively. --Jeff Bateman
Recorded for the recent reissue of the best known Delerium album, Karma, this new mix of their 2000 hit single collaboration with Sarah McLachlan has already been no 1 in the German Dance Charts and once again looks set to take Ibiza by storm this summer. Promoted to UK clubs in late July and August, it will be given a 12" release in its own right in September. The older mixes of Silence sold 13K on download in 2007, and over 11K already in 2008. The track has been selling 500+ downloads per week consistently since April. Delerium albums for Nettwerk include Semantic Spaces (1995), their breakthrough album Karma (1997), Poem (2001), Chimera (2003) and Nuages Du Monde (2006). The band have sold over a million albums in North America alone, but are also known for a string of successful singles, including the worldwide dance smash Silence (featuring the vocal talents of Canadian superstar Sarah McLachlan), which has sold close to 400,000 copies in the UK alone. Other hits have included After All, Innocente (Falling In Love), Underwater and Heaven's Earth.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - new world karma
I am not a music expert, but I've heard similar music under the New Age or New World category. If it is part of it, I have to say this group has a very spiritual and flowing feeling. Great combination of soft trance with vocalized sounds. I love this CD and Nuages de Monde-incredible type of music I haven't been exposed to yet and I love its mysterious feeling!
Rating: - Among the best along with early Enigma, not a single weak track
Yes, it's true most of the tracks stretch far beyond the 3-4 min. length of a typical radio hit, but every single one takes the early Enigma/Deep Forest formula and branches it off (imagine this not unlike an open source fork) to form a unique identity: jubilant tribes chants rest comfortably above propulsive drumming, providing good music for mostly meditation -- at times, the mood gets rather soaring, but it ebbs & flows deliciously.

Rating:  - Delerious
This was Delerium's move towards the pop mainstream. Having tasted some success with Semantic Spaces, Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb polished out the chill/electronic dance to a slick shine, recruited Sarah McLachlan and recorded "Silence." It became their best known song and - once remixed - a dance club smash.
However, this album loses some of the more ethereal qualities that made the previous Delerium CD's stand out. The Enigma chant/old-world hybrid had already been played out by now; some ten ... Read More
Rating:  - mystically delicious
very musical trance/ethereal style. 2nd CD gives multiple mixes of the same 2-3 tunes; it could seem boring to hear the same song on those cds, but it's quite nice to see the different ways they could release the same song and make it sound good.
Rating:  - Good album for your average listener. But to the ears of an electronic musician. It gets poor at times.
Ive always wanted to like Delerium. And on this album, there are a few songs that i think deserve alot of credit. But I have to criticize what these guys are actually doing to produce the music they do. These guys get way, way too carried away with sampling. I feel like albums like this honestly do give electronic music the bad reputation that it has of only being a venue for people to rip off other peoples music, alter it and call it their own.
Now there is alot of vocal talent being used here. ... Read More
