英文介绍：

Fauxliage is the first full length collaboration between former Sixpence None the Richer singer, Lei

gh Nash, and Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber of Delerium and Front Line Assembly.

Nash's voice will be instantly recognizable to Delerium fans, having sung on their hit single "Innoc

ente (Falling In Love)" from the album Poem and contributed two songs, "Run For It" and "Orbit of Me

" to the band's subsequent Chimera.

A subtle slice of dream pop that's far removed from Delerium's darker roots, like their esoteric nam

e suggests, Fauxliage are a hidden gem, waiting to be discovered.

If there's one thing that Delerium has historically done very well, it has been picking out female v

ocalists and collaborators. A quick run through of their work shows the likes of Sarah McLachlan, Le

igh Nash, Kirsty Hawkshaw, Zoe Johnston, and

longtime contributor Kristy Thirsk. But this focus on female vocalists also brought about a stylisti

c shift in the band. Where some of their earlier work relied more on either gothic industrial or ins

trumental soundscapes with more through-composed

output, the vocals eventually led them down the path of doing music that was much more rooted in the

Enigma vein of pop.

Fauxliage is their new guise (and is added to their growing list of alter-egos), and finds them fina

lly "settling down" with just one vocalist and making a proper pop album. Leigh Nash has become a mo

re consistent collaborator for the duo, having

contributed to two prior Delerium albums. And this trio now becomes Fauxliage. Those familiar with D

elerium's recent output, and in particular Leigh's contributions, should know what to expect. They a

ren't breaking any new ground here, just rounding it

out into a full length.

Leigh Nash seems both an unlikely and perfect addition to the mix. Although a regular contributor in

the past, she was no more regular than several other vocalists that could have been picked. However

, she has a beautiful, frail, and otherworldly voice

that adds a much-needed texture to the songs. On their own, they could just be more of the light-ele

ctronica pop fare. But with her voice, they become something much more unique.

The album opens with "All The World", and starts an interesting thread for the kind of record it hel

ps to shape. It's lyrically pretty dark. Most of the songs are about strained or dying love. The ope

ning chorus sings "I'm having a hard time / I'm

making you do the hard time too / I'm stuck in a bad way / And I'm gonna make you pay for it." But i

n general the music is so much prettier and more delicate than the lyrics it surrounds that you migh

t not even notice the dark undertones until much

later.

The tempo for the record stays very mid-tempo, while dipping into a couple of slower tunes. "Draw My

Life" and the album closer "All Alone" are both down-tempo without becoming overly slow and sentime

ntal. Highlights include "All The World", "Without

You" and "Let It Go". Also in standard Delerium fashion, there are a couple of instrumental tracks i

ncluded. "Magic" and "Vibing" help fill out the offering into a full album. Musically, they stick to

the style of the other tracks and are a nice

break/addition.

But it's the overall quality of the album that impresses the most. Instead of collaborations forced

together through market pressures, this has a very natural and inspired vibe throughout. It's a real

album from start to finish, and sheds any thoughts

of experiment or trial run.

Some of Delerium's prime exposure in the past has come through club remixes of their tracks, fatteni

ng them up to a dance floor thump. We'll see if Fauxliage breaks into the same waters. If so, "Let I

t Go" could lend itself to some prime peak-time hand

raising. In the interim, the release is padded with a couple remixes of "Rafe." The Gabe remix is ve

ry Fatboy Slim-ish, and is a jaunty summer mix. The Pacha mix is a slower lounge-house mix, in the v

ein of Thievery Corporation, and neither bothers nor

excites.

Fauxliage seems much better than perhaps the idea would on paper. Leigh's voice has never sounded be

tter than it does here, and the Delerium guys show they're not at a loss for constructing nice elect

ronic-pop songs. It remains to be seen whether

Fauxliage is a one-off project or if the pairing has some legs. I'm sure record sales will play into

that decision, so a word to the masses is sufficient. ~
