5.0 out of 5 stars Another Delerium Masterpiece, May 14, 2001

By 

"zacharym87" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Euphoric (Audio CD)

This Ep is half industrial and half ambient, the first two tracks being more or less straight up industrial, and the last two being spectacular ambient music. The opening track is a crazed tune with psychotic samples and erratic beats suggesting the ravings of a drug addict (rather interesting sample involving cocaine in there). "Decade" is a much more steady tune, an even, regular, six-minute procession of industrial beats. "Grave Mentor" is the album's gem, a 15-minute ambient piece that may be Delerium's single finest ambient tune, opening with five minutes of slow electronic humming interspersed with samples of Gregorian chanting, followed by several minutes of a lively, uplifting melody, then back to chanting and droning at the end. "Sorrow" follows a similar pattern, a slow, dark, and lushly beautiful ambient piece. Highly recommended for all able to appreciate the dark side of ambient.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delerium's Grey Symphony, August 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Euphoric (Audio CD)

"Euphoric" is perhaps the darkest album Delerium has put together. Essentially one of the first dark-tech projects to really put forth a work that is at once haunting and mesmerizing. "Euphoric" drips with the madness of a stalker. The title-track introduces the listener into the adrendalized mind of some twisted raver. The music then proceeds to take the listener into a psychotic voyage of madness, murder, and repentence. All this is done without the use of vocals, simply by allowing the music to suggest (if not invoke) the mood of insanity and despair. "Euphoric" is a brilliant work unto itself. This album creates the back ground for another dark-tech opus, NIN's "The Downward Spiral". With "Euphoric" Delerium presents one of the crown jewels of dark-tech and dark ambient.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, dark, Delerium., January 22, 2000

By

This review is from: Euphoric (Audio CD)

Bill Leeb and the (now, unfortunately absent) Rhys Fulber have created some of my all time favorite songs, from the upbeat "Flowers Become Screens" to the dark melodies of "Euphoric." I beleive this is possibly there best album. It's dark, and skitzy, and seems to be telling a story. While it only contains four tracks, its about 40 minutes of mind-altering music about insantiy, death, love, hate...the list goes on. Brilliant. Can be interpreted on so many levels, unlike music with lyrics, which just has "face value." I hope Leeb can come up with equally brilliant work for the new Delerium album (minus Fulber).
