For some reason ,this album by Delerium pops up again and again in some of the most memorable moments of my life. I love the ambience that the Canadian duo Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber create in the artfully crafted album.Kirsty Hawkshaw appears in two tracks, Inner Sanctum and Nature’s Kingdom. If you have an average speaker system, you will be amaze how this music comes through: deep bass, airy vocals and crisp instruments. If you love the music of Enigma and This Mortal Coil ,then you will love the music of Delerium.

The Otherworldly Music of Sleepthief

I’ve never heard of Justin Elswick until recently when I listened to Sleepthief at MySpace. I love what I heard…a soundscape of electronic music laced with lush orchestrations and angelic voices.Vocalists like Nicola Hitchcock who worked with Mandalay as well as Kristy Harkshaw are featured.The strength of Justin’s composition is his use of strong melodies and interesting chord progressions that call in mind the works of Delerium and Enya.This kind of music will go to unmeasurable heights if given the right exposure like maybe being featured in films like Narnia, LOTR or even X-Files! Justin is a member of the LDS missionaries before being a practicing lawyer in Utah. He got his B. A . Philosophy at Trinity college , Dublin Ireland. At this time he also concentrated in music which years later spawned Sleepthief.
