Rafe (Pacha Remix)英文介紹：Fauxliage is the first full length collaboration between former Sixpence None the Richer singer, Leigh Nash, and Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber of Delerium and Front Line Assembly.Nashs voice will be instantly recognizable to Delerium fans, having sung on their hit single Innocente (Falling In Love) from the album Poem and contributed two songs, Run For It and Orbit of Me to the bands subsequent Chimera.A subtle slice of dream pop thats far removed from Deleriums darker roots, like their esoteric name suggests, Fauxliage are a hidden gem, waiting to be discovered.If theres one thing that Delerium has historically done very well, it has been picking out female vocalists and collaborators. A quick run through of their work shows the likes of Sarah McLachlan, Leigh Nash, Kirsty Hawkshaw, Zoe Johnston, andlongtime contributor Kristy Thirsk. But this focus on female vocalists also brought about a stylistic shift in the band. Where some of their earlier work relied more on either gothic industrial or instrumental soundscapes with more through-composedoutput, the vocals eventually led them down the path of doing music that was much more rooted in theEnigma vein of pop.Fauxliage is their new guise (and is added to their growing list of alter-egos), and finds them finally settling down with just one vocalist and making a proper pop album. Leigh Nash has become a more consistent collaborator for the duo, havingcontributed to two prior Delerium albums. And this trio now becomes Fauxliage. Those familiar with Deleriums recent output, and in particular Leighs contributions, should know what to expect. They arent breaking any new ground here, just rounding itout into a full length.Leigh Nash seems both an unlikely and perfect addition to the mix. Although a regular contributor inthe past, she was no more regular than several other vocalists that could have been picked. However, she has a beautiful, frail, and otherworldly voicethat adds a much-needed texture to the songs. On their own, they could just be more of the light-electronica 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 helps to shape. Its lyrically pretty dark. Most of the songs are about strained or dying love. The opening chorus sings Im having a hard time / Immaking you do the hard time too / Im stuck in a bad way / And Im gonna make you pay for it. But in general the music is so much prettier and more delicate than the lyrics it surrounds that you might not even notice the dark undertones until muchlater.The tempo for the record stays very mid-tempo, while dipping into a couple of slower tunes. Draw MyLife and the album closer All Alone are both down-tempo without becoming overly slow and sentimental. Highlights include All The World, WithoutYou and Let It Go. Also in standard Delerium fashion, there are a couple of instrumental tracks included. Magic and Vibing help fill out the offering into a full album. Musically, they stick tothe style of the other tracks and are a nicebreak/addition.But its the overall quality of the album that impresses the most. Instead of collaborations forcedtogether through market pressures, this has a very natural and inspired vibe throughout. Its a realalbum from start to finish, and sheds any thoughtsof experiment or trial run.Some of Deleriums prime exposure in the past has come through club remixes of their tracks, fattening them up to a dance floor thump. Well see if Fauxliage breaks into the same waters. If so, Let It Go could lend itself to some prime peak-time handraising. In the interim, the release is padded with a couple remixes of Rafe. The Gabe remix is very Fatboy Slim-ish, and is a jaunty summer mix. The Pacha mix is a slower lounge-house mix, in the vein of Thievery Corporation, and neither bothers norexcites.Fauxliage seems much better than perhaps the idea would on paper. Leighs voice has never sounded better than it does here, and the Delerium guys show theyre not at a loss for constructing nice electronic-pop songs. It remains to be seen whetherFauxliage is a one-off project or if the pairing has some legs. Im sure record sales will play intothat decision, so a word to the masses is sufficient. ~
