Delirium

Not to be confused with 1970s Italian band, Delirium is a Canadian ambient electronica music group founded by Bill Leeb and Michael Balch and was a side project to "Front Line Assembly". Their first single was medlodic "Flowers become screens" (with vocalist Kristy Thirsk) from an album called "Semantic Spaces". But they had to wait until 1999 before they got some international recognition, when "Silence" their collaboration with Sarah McLachlan reached the top 10 in Australia and #1 in Ireland of all places.

90 Selected Songs (Discography):
Date	Song
1994	Flowers become screens
1994	Incantation
1997	Euphoria (Firefly)
1997	Duende
1999	Silence

What happened next?
"Silence" surprisingly failed to chart in the UK in 1999. But persistent paid of when a remix of "Silence" reached #3 in October 2000. In January 2005, Delirium performed at the One World benefit concert in Vancouver for the 2004 Asian tsunami, where "Silence" was performed live for the first time with Sarah McLachlan.
