Ear candy for the acoustically peckish

"Euphoria distinguish themselves from the rest of electronica through their incorporation of soulful and tres analog instrumental touches. In this maxi-single, they take the slide Dobro hook from "Delirium" and give it a thorough workout. And while Euphoria might be accused of taking a good idea and beating it to death, the results are actually quite satisfying. The aptly named "Radio Edit" starts things out, establishing a theme which is then reworked with a variety of treatments and grooves to produce a compelling sonic journey.At slightly over 30 minutes, this maxy-single makes a perfect break from whatever you happen to be listening to at the time. Throw it in your CD changer as a wild card amongst a batch of rock, pop, blues, or what have you. It makes a refreshing change of pace from almost any style. Of course, it also works well as ambient music; the slide guitar continuously rising, falling, and re-emerging from a varied stream of synthesizers and percussion. "Delirium Remixes" will certainly appeal to anyone who liked Euphoria's self titled album. Lovers of electronica won't likely be disappointed either. Overall, a nice little CD."

Great single from an up-and-coming artist!

"This is a really great song (you've probably heard it on one of those college stations if at all). The re-mixes are very good, especially the radio-edit, and it changes the whole aspect of the song so it seems like you're getting 5 different ones. I recommend adding it to your collection if you enjoy eclectic, techno-ish music-- think Moby with sitars and chanting thrown in. Highly recommended."
