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

 Very good music September 1, 2007
V. Devries (Omaha, NE)
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.
 Another "must have". June 14, 2007

Great compilation. Even though I own a lot of their stuff, I still bought this CD.

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 gothic/angelic piece. This is a great album, you will have fun with the many different moods it creates.
Great Overview and Collection January 5, 2007
Justarasta (Coral Gables, FL United States)
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 much of their best music. On the other hand the music is so good it could also inspire you to buy all of their other CD's. If you like Delirium in the least this is a can't miss purchase.
Nice Blend November 1, 2006

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 Gregorian monks chanting, Indian sound clips, good special effects and synth use, beautiful sounding female vocalists, poppy upbeat songs, and more introspective tracks as well. If you like this album I can also recommend Amethystium, Mythos, Blue Stone, Balligomingo, and Sleepthief. I am happy to have them all in my collection. Really exquisite stuff.
