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 Similar CDs

CD ReviewsThree and a half stars for the vocalists... eyedea | Chicago, IL | 05/29/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Delerium founder, Rhys Fluber fulfills what he can in his newest project, Conjure One. Although, much of the music is reminiscent of his older works with Delerium he almost manages to make it work. Only two songs really demonstrate Conjure One's ability to keep the listener's attention. Tracks 2 and 3 are both the highlights of the album. Poe's amazingly alluring voice is captured in the song, Center of the Sun. Though, her voice does seem to drag in a few verses, she still manages to give the audience an almost clean performance. The next song, Tears From the Moon, is the other reason for Conjure One's achievement. Many reviewers mention the song's lyrics as corny and plain. In the songs defense I have to say; what song isn't corny or plain? Many songs do not even delve into deep waters when it comes to lyrics as you may hear in this track. Sinead O'Conner's voice is as equal as Poe's, maybe even more powerful. The instrumental tracks are also good but do not present anything new. In all, this album had no real surprises like I thought it would have. Besides the beautiful female voices of Poe, O'Conner and Chemda, this album was a bit of a letdown but still good enough to recommend."
