This CD is a compilation of Delerium's earlier CDs with a few new tracks thrown in. In most respects I like it better then the individual CDs they came from. It is essentially a 'best of' the early Delerium. If you like Delerium's Karma CD, you may not like this one since it is mostly ambient, darker, and more gothic. If you like the group Dead Can Dance, this is closer to that style then Karma is. If a Delerium fan, then the few extra songs are well worth the purchase.

I admit this isn't a CD for everyone, but I enjoyed it very much. It brings me back to my Goth days in the 80's and early 90's. The music is richly layered and dark, dark, dark! There are too few artists making this kind of music today. I like the darker themed music that's being produced now, but the subtle, trance-like music in this album is what I really enjoy...and have missed. For those you have similar tastes, this is a CD that belongs in your collection.

This is the first of two parts. This CD is a collection of songs from 1988-1995. Delerium is the brain child of two people, Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber, they excelled themselves in the early Days before they turned Delerium down onto a new direction. The songs in the 1st volume come from the following albums; Stone Tower (Cleopatra), Morpheus and Syrophenikan (Cleopatra). This album is best suited for someone who is just starting out on Delerium and wants to soak in the essence of this delightful music.
"Life is an eternity as evolution but death is a reflection of the past."

If you're big into their early good stuff, this is the perfect album to get. A great way to get some rare songs. I love this album for DJing.

Not very good at all. I didnt realize until i got it that it was from 1988-93. too dark and dreary

If you like their most recent music do not get this CD. It's boring.
