Synopsis

Amazon.com
When it comes to popular music, a proven formula is a safer bet than chancing something new. Apparently, such is the wisdom behind Conjure One, the new project spearheaded by Delerium and Front Line Assembly architect Rhys Fulber. As he did with Delerium, Fulber pairs guest vocalists of the mostly ethereal variety with gauzy ambient-tribal pop full of Eastern shadings and just enough chanting to maintain the spooky quotient. And when Fulber nails a vibe--as he does twice with singer Poe on the dreamy, goose-fleshy "Center of the Sun" and the downright chilling "Make a Wish," and with Tea Party belter Jeff Martin on the widescreen "Premonition"--he nails it, creating a haunted landscape best described as New Age-worldbeat. There are some clunkers here, too. Sinead O'Connor is thwarted by the leaden clichés littering "Tears from the Moon," and Israeli vocalist Chemda shamelessly borrows from the late, great Ofra Haza to negligible effect. But anyone who dug the Delerium project--or kindred spirits such as Dead Can Dance--will declare Conjure One a success. --Kim Hughes

CD Reviews

BEWARE of the misleading music credits
Obsidian | Burning in a desert , Az USA | 06/13/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I purchased this Cd due to being a fan of Jeff Martin - vocalist formerly of the Tea Party. He is credited with doing vocals on the song titled Premonition Reprise. He isn't on this cut.



There is a song called Premonition in which he does the main vocal track but it is only available on long out of print Canadian import. This CD does not contain that track.



Read the other reviews for music reviews. I'm not a fan of this style typically but am a fan of the contributing artists so I gave this a chance. I did not regret it... Hauntingly beautiful melodies with huge amounts of textures."
