Delerium began their career recording strictly instrumental music in a highly atmospheric, soundscape vein. That musical penchant hasn’t changed, but over the years the duo has utilized ever more vocalists to further enhance its sound, culminating in Nuages du Monde (”Clouds of the World”). This set boasts seven different female vocalists across its 11 tracks, and a mere two instrumentals. Opera star Isabel Baryakdarian powerfully opens the album with the evocative “Angelicus,” her soaring vocals and the number’s textured atmospheres a revelation that echoes the song’s religious underpinnings. Her “Lumenis,” later in the set, is an equal standout, here her delivery pinioned between East and West, further accentuating Nuages du Monde’s most haunting track. The equally feted Punjabi singer Kiran Arwuhalia is Baryakdarian’s equal, her wondrously keening vocals across “Indoctrination” echoing around the swooping synth. These two performers are of such quality that their light virtually outshines all the rest. Filled with rich atmospheres and myriad moods, ranging from shadowed to bright, “Nuages du Monde” embraces a surprising variety of musical styles that shimmer and shift with great suppleness throughout the set. ~ Jo-Ann Greene
