I saw Delirium live and enjoyed it and CD is faithful to the live show. It is my favorite Cirque CD.

This CD is fun to listen to and even better if you see the show first. A great remix of different genres... definitely not boring. And if you like to dance it will appeal to you even more. Very unique!

I have to admit that the music was a lot more impressive with the visuals at the actual show. The music, I thought, would evoke those visuals but instead fell flat.
It's nice enough music if you just want some noise in the background.

First of all, DELIRIUM is not a typical Cirque du Soleil show - in fact, it is a concert, celebrating their wonderful music and use of visual imagery.

This show is inspirational, moving and touching. You leave the experience feeling better about life, about yourself.

Walk on Water's lyrics (snippit): Walk on water, walk on air. Scratch the surface if you dare, You'll go further if you learn to skim. It'll all be so much clearer. Don't look in the mirror. Lay back, just let yourself slide.

Other great songs include Let Me Fall (amazing job with this song), and Time to Go, Bridge of Sorrow is great as is Alone and Too High. This soundtrack rocks! Its all of the music from the DELIRIUM show on CD!

I saw the show in Albany, NY and have tickets for both nights in Atlantic City NJ...wooh! Just a heads up that once again, this is not a typical cirque du soleil show - this is a live music event centered around music and dancing, not so much of acrobatic feats, etc.

Peace all...

This is one of the best soundtracks ! I sing along with over half of it, also good for working out or dancing! Lots of up beat songs :)

First of all, if you've come to Cirque du Soleil looking for a soothing and relaxing musical retreat, you're not going to find it with this particular album. You should try Dralion, Varekai (my favorite!), or Mystere first, but don't limit yourself to just those.

This Album is a look at classic Cirque du Soleil through a new light. It is compiled of remixes of several familiar songs from previous albums. Usually, the word "remix" means dance, but this isn't really dance at all. I'd classify it more as a mixture of Cirque du Soleil, pop, and a little bit of rock.

At first, the new twist on classic Cirque was really exciting, but then the excitement began to dwindle. Some of the new remixes are very interesting, and sound great, but others... not so much. "Too High," the remix of "Siritual Spiral" out of Dralion worked out quite well, but the new "Alegria" was just annoying.

Overall, the sound and compositon are very solid and well done. When it comes right down to it, this album would have gotten five stars had it not been for the female singer; she's too seductive. However, it also would have gotten negative two stars if it weren't for the opening song, "Cold Flame." The entire purchase price of the album (shipping and all) was well worth it just for that song.

I love Cirque, and when I saw Delirium I thought that it was an innovative concept. This CD has songs from other shows, but many now sung in English. This contains some of the best songs from all of the production shows.

The Delirium cd of the Cirque du Soleil series has in many parts a very good time putting together the components that many fans are crazy for. Some of it is iffy, it is not traditional but it is cute and overall it was not a bad buy. It is great background music and shouldn't really be taken for anything more serious than that.

Delirium is not a "bad" CD or show, but it is not up to the usual awe inspiring standards of Cirque du Soleil. I am a huge fan, and love their regular shows. This arena show was designed for the masses and the unique essence that is Cirque has been compromised. The standards I expect Cirque to live up to start at "Awesome" and work up to "That's Impossible!". This music is good by any other standard, but by Cirque's standard, it is mediocre. I attended the show in Dallas and was very disappointed. Don't waste your money on this CD or show; it is better spent on ANY other Cirque show, DVD, or CD.

I am a big fan of Cirque du Soleil. I have attended as many of the shows as possible so there is little that the "Cirque" can do that I would dislike. "Delerium" however exceeds even my expectations. The Cirque music usually is a new age/classical/world(Zumanity is the exception) musical collage with thrilling vocals thrown in to enhance the show. Thsi soundtrack adds another dimension to the cirque sound by incorporating rock sensibilities into the songs.
"Cold flame" would proudly open any arena rock show. "Too high" and "la nova alegria" are great club tracks that would sound great in the mega danceclubs in Miami or New York. "Walk on water" is French trip hop at its best. "Alone" is a new wave tango that would make the Gotan Project proud. "Let me fall" is a power ballad. I could go on and on but you have to listen to it from start to finish...the 30 second sampling just won't give it any justice. And see the show(Delirium)... it is an AUDITORY and VISUAL experience.
