Comments

After I bought Karma, I was so taken by Delerium's music that I immediately went out and bought this one. Like Karma, this album is a collection of long instrumental and lyrical tracks (combined over 77 minutes of original music - value for money!) with a style along the lines of Enigma and Deep Forest. In fact, "Metaphor" seems to be an homage to Enigma's work, with the use of the same drum beat and similar melodies.

With a combination of beats, ambient sounds, and poetical lyrics to create long flowing tracks. I think Karma just edges out this album as my favourite of the two - the latter album having a more moody feel.
