Karma 姻缘

艺人: Delerium
风格: Electronic/Gothic
发行: Nettwerk Records
日期: April 22, 1997

早期的Delerium是和Front Line Assembly(这个乐队也是由 Delerium 的创建者 Bill Leeb 和 Rhys Fulber 组建)相去不远的冷硬工业电子风格。Delerium的名字开始响亮，甚至压过FLA，是从1997年的专辑Karma开始。

这张以空灵美声为主要风格的专辑，虽然本身就是制作十分精良优美的作品，但得到商业成功的理由，却是其中嘉宾歌手Sarah McLachlan演唱的单曲Silence被重新混音成trance舞曲版本，意外红遍全球。Silence成为电音舞曲国歌之一，连带炒热了Karma和Delerium乐队。

由此可见，无论对于 Delerium 乐队，还是 New Age 爱好者和电音舞曲的狂热Fans来说，《Karma 因缘》都是一张相当重要的专辑。自此之后，Delerium 乐队的音乐开始有所改变，实验性成分越来越少，而更被广大乐迷接受并喜爱。

The novelty was stripmined from ethnobeat pop long ago, and this skin-deep confection is surprising only in its lack of edge and invention. On the plus side, the melodies are textured and lush, the beats entrancing, and a parade of gifted singers--Kristy Thirsk, Jacqui Hunt, and Sarah McLachlan included--bill and coo impressively. Lead single "Euphoria (Firefly)" has spark and spirit, while "Enchanted" and "Duende" are strong vehicles for Thirsk and Camille Henderson respectively. --Jeff Bateman
