 [Audiophile Asylum] CD Reviews: Delerium
Karma added more songs with extensive lyrics using guests artists like Sarah McLachlan (in addition to Kristy Thirsk, who sings several of the tracks once again) to sing the vocals and even write the songs lyrics themselves.
In this form, it's one of my favorite albums period (of course listening to both discs of the limited edition version is even better, but my point is if it were a one disc version with those substitutions it would be as good as they could make it).
The vocals on this album are a bit weak for the most part in terms of the mixing and presentation, at least on my main system (they seem more upfront with headphones).

 Karma by Delerium (lyrics & reviews)
The CDs Karma, Semantic Spaces, and Poem all bridge the gap between Enigma and Deep Forest with a similar use of subdued tribal chants and haunting female background vocals.
That's not because this is their best album, it's because this is the type of music mainstream America wants.
The entire album is solid, with no song sticking out as a best or worst.

 Delerium - Karma
Delerium's latest, Karma, is pretty much a direct follow-on from 1994's Semantic Spaces, and offers the same mix of club-friendly rhythms, chants and female vocals.
This track was (deservedly, I feel) the first single from the album, and was released at roughly the same time as the album, back in April.
While I'd imagine many Delerium fans will throw their arms up in dismay at the continuing commercialization of this once obscure side-project, I have to say that I was pretty impressed with the results.

 Into Liquid Sky - Music Reviews
Poem is the follow up to the excellent ambient/techno album Karma, which featured guest female vocal parts on a few of the tracks.
It's a good album that might be what some people are looking for while others will wish Delerium was still more into their ambient style.
Innocente is a great opening to this album and Aria, while slow in the beginning, has a smooth, moving beat that really works with the enchanting vocals.

 DELERIUM MUSIC
After their album KARMA, Delerium co-founders Bill Leebs and Rhys Fuller briefly parted ways to work on individual projects (POEM was produced by Leebs alone while Fuller worked on the CONJURE ONE album).
This greatest hits album offers a taste of evolving sound of Delerium, featuring songs from their last four albums, three new remixes and two new songs.
KARMA is a powerful manifestation of ideas culled from the duo's musical decade together.

 Delerium -- Poem. Nettwerk Records, 2000.    Last Sigh Magazine
The sound on this album is exactly as one would expect from the more recent Delerium releases, with the sort of happy electronics and very breezy instrumentals over a backdrop of world influenced rhythms and Gregorian chants.
The last few albums have changed that formula slightly, adding heavenly female vocals for a slightly more pop edge, their last album, karma, included the song silence with vocals by Sarah McLaughlin, which topped the overseas single charts.
Delerium began in 1987 by Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber as a creative outlet for ideas that they felt didn't truly mix with the hard industrial sound of their band Frontline Assembly.

 Interview: Bill Leeb of Delerium
Whereas claims of sanitizing third world music by western artists for western consumption are often accurate, Delerium delivers a substantive offering and lush presence that many of its sterile brethren lack.
Better known for their work as the industrial-edged group Front Line Assembly, the duo's decade-old alter-ego, Delerium, fashions itself more on the lines of ambient world-beat.
Curiousity-seekers who thrive on the beats of Enigma and Deep Forest would be well served to give the group's latest release, Karma, a spin.

 Amazon.com: Archives, Vol. 1 [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]: Music
Now while most of my favorite Delerium songs are off "Karma" and "Poem", I dug the tribal, orchestral ambient sounds of Delerium's earliest material.
This album has many great songs on it and was Delerium at its best.
The album is an excellent addition to a collector's collection, but may disappoint fans new to the Delerium sound.

 Delerium: Chimera - PopMatters Music Review
In Delerium's case, there was a definite split; while Leeb went on to record another Delerium album, the decidedly Karma-like Poem, Fulber jumped ship and started his own project, the outstanding Conjure One, which greatly expanded the Delerium ethno-dance palette by incorporating stronger world music influences and harder-edged dancefloor beats.
Fulber has returned to the Delerium fold for Chimera, but he brings little of the Conjure One magic with him in what seems to have been a limited role -- he shares songwriting credit on just six of the album's 13 tracks.
In other words, Delerium is pretty much now officially Leeb's baby, and unfortunately, he still really hasn't shaken the "Silence" monkey off his back.

 Amazon.com: Karma: Music
But this album 'Karma' paved the way for Delerium to change from the dark sounds to a lighter, more mainstream contemporary sound and this album heralded that change moreso than the albums 'Poem' or 'Semantic Spaces'.
This album released in 1997 by the two boys of Delerium (Bill Leeb/Rhys Fulber) still sounds as innovative, inspiring and amazing as it did when I first heard it 8 years ago.
Sarah McLachlan, Kristy Thirsk, Camille Henderson and Jacqui Hunt definitely contribute to this celestial album which is close to becoming a masterpiece for the ages with ethereal sounscapes of sensual new age/trance beats; not to mention Gregorian style chantings of actual monks, made infamous on songs like the Egyptian "Rememberance" and the Middle Eastern "Lamentation".

 DELERIUM in 'this swirling sphere'
The original version appears on Karma - the second album by Leeb's 'sometimes' project Delerium - first released in Canada by Nettwerk Records in 1995, then made available in Australia in 1997 with little or no fuss and only limited stock.
On both albums Delerium seduce with a rare understanding of world fusion distilled in pristine ambience, melded to insouciant melodies and soaring, ethereal female vocals that kiss the belly of the god, any god, with their pure unsullied beauty.
Delerium is a similarly long-running affair with Leeb's collaborator of more than a decade, Rhys Fulber - their relationship only splintering last year.

Although a new Delerium album is only a few months away from release, the electronic artist will first need to enlist the help of one talented fan.
Delerium has been around since the late ‘80s when Bill Leeb and collaborator Rhys Fulber, partners in the more aggressive band Front Line Assembly, decided to create a side project as an outlet for their softer sides.

Their first album was released in 1987, a debut which was followed by seven similar sounding records.
Having said that, the album is still reasonably enjoyable, if you can get your head around the fact that Bill Leeb and his trusty sidekick Rhys Fulber have actually re-united to produce such a poppy album in the first place.

Mention must also be made of the album's two instrumentals, on which the hand of Rhys Fulber is most evident but which also, it must be said, sound like sleepy retreads of his and Leeb's Semantic Spaces and Karma heyday.

Karma took about a year to piece together, and Bill Leeb found it was a lot more work than a Front Line album: "We put so many different elements into Karma...
The addition of strong female vocalists Sarah McLachlan, Kristy Thirsk (ex-Rose Chronicles), Jacqui Hunt (Single Gun Theory) and Camille Henderson complements the duo's clever sampling and electronic landscapes perfectly to make for an album that simply doesn't sound like it's right off the world-beat factory floor.

Synaesthesia sounds more like an experimental version of Delerium mixed together with doses of Enigma and FLA. Embody is a very well produced album that can be listen to on various occasions and can be used as background music for coctail parties.
I also own Delerium's Karma and Semantic Spaces and to me there may be similarities in the 2 groups' styles but they definitely put me in different headspaces.
Synaesthesia being one of Leebs and Fulbers many side projects to FLA, the others being Delerium, Conjure One, Cyberaktif, Intermix and Noise Unit to mention a few.

Karma was the last joined effort between Leeb and Fulber, as the latter decided to leave the formation and concentrate on his own work.
"This is a drastic departure from all the previous works of Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber, although it has some references to older material, like older Delerium and some Intermix, though it has very little to do with their main project Front Line Assembly.
Having said that, the album is still reasonably enjoyable, if you can get your head around the fact that Bill Leeb and his trusty sidekick Rhys Fulber have actually re-united to produce such a poppy album in the first place.

 Blogcritics.org: Front Line Assembled
In '97 Leeb and Fulber created their most fully-realized album (in any genre) to date, in the form of Delerium's Karma: a wondrous album sampling exotic cultures and the recesses of time.
Bill Leeb and ofttime partner Rhys Fulber have been remarkably consistent innovators with electronic music of every hue: from tribal ambient music in the guise of Delerium, to the traditional techno of Intermix, to the bone-crunching industrial of Front Line Assembly and Noise Unit, Leeb and Fulber have pushed barriers and created excellent music.
Leeb and Fulber continue to deliver the goods as they roll through various permutations of electronic music; from the early pre-sampler days with primitive drum machines and analog synths, to the cutting-edge digital present, they have made music for the love of creating it.

A higher-profile, guest-heavy Delerium album, Karma, was released in 1997 and produced an international hit single in "Silence," which followed in the vein of ethnic-fusion artists like Dead Can Dance, Enigma, and Deep Forest.
Known for his work in the aggressive industrial outfit Front Line Assembly and the ethnic/ambient project Delerium, Bill Leeb was born in Austria and emigrated to Vancouver, Canada with his family around age 12.
In the meantime, Leeb and Fulber started a quieter, more meditative side project called Delerium, which made some recordings for a small German label during the late ‘80s and early ‘90s.
