5.0 out of 5 stars Dark matter, Colony's, Delerium., January 22, 2000

This is the first of what I like to consider "mid" Delerium. That is, when the started to move away from the really dark sounds of the earlier work (like the frightening "Spiritual Archives" which has given me nightmares). This is first of two "Spheres" albums, that seem to be striving (and definately acheiving) a "space" sound. Tracks like "Monolith" and "Dark Matter" show that they are paying tribute to Sci-fi films, and the "sound" in general. To me, the standout tracks are "Transmitter", with its nice hypey beet, "Wavelenght" with its dark synth, "Colony" with its twangy sounds, and opera-esque feel, "Dark Matters" "endless space" feel, and "Cloud Barriers" feeling of immeninet discovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars The real Delerium album, October 12, 2001

O man and woman, hold your breath for an hour long flight through the outer regions of space with this terrific album. Obviously recorded on Rhys @ Bills's darkest hours, but still very relaxing and peaceful. At he end of the record you feel cleansed and this special warmth. It comes very close to the true essence of music and life itself. Minimal but fantastic soundscapes for the real ambient lovers, not for the people who jumped in at Karma and/or Silence and believe to find some songs sounding like Enigma. I have been listening to FLA, Intermix, Noise Unit, Delerium, etc. for a long time, and from the 26 albums i own of those two guys i think it's one of the greatest. Absolute darkness while playing the record recommendend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delerium - 'Spheres' (Cleopatra), June 8, 2005

What drew me to this CD was the track "Dark Matter" that I first heard on the various artists 'Space Daze' 2-CD(see my review).This is the ONLY Delerium disc I have.I consider this project that includes players Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber to be 'dark ambient'.Key tunes are the twelve-minute "Colony","Cloud Barrier" and the previously mentioned "Dark Matter"(disc's best cut).Might appeal to fans of Front Line Assembly,Dead Can Dance,Breathless and Front 242.Give it a listen.
