Title: Uhm, WOW!
Product review: I'm a huge fan of Delerium but I'm not too familiar with FLA's work. The only other album I own by them is their last release, 'Epitaph', which I was very disappointed in. This, however, is absolutely mind-blowing! Leeb and Fulber must have had some real inspiration while making 'Civilization' because it contains some of the best industrial music I've had the pleasure of hearing. Unlike 'Epitaph' there's not a lot of futuristic sound blips and far less static distortions. The hypnotic rhythms seem to smooth out the unnecessary roughness they've been known to generate in the past. And while some might be chagrined by that fact, I couldn't be more thrilled. This time around they gave the beats a trancier feel with melodic overtones and even some ethereal vocals now and again, yet the overall feel remains somewhat gritty, setting this apart from their Delerium project. This is much more accessible but it's also more experimental... To sum this up in a word, I'd have to say: Brilliant!
