Twenty or thirty years ago, if anyone had tried to imagine what worship would sound like in the 21st century, he or she probably would have been way off. What Delirious has brought to life with its 2000 release Glo is n... more »othing less than a perfect depiction of worshipful expression in a new millennium, something no forecast could have predicted. Blending the most celebrated aspects of their previous records, Glo combines the electronic space-rock of Mezzamorphis with the euphoric worship anthems of King of Fools and Cutting Edge. The exotic songcraft and production together fashion this otherworldly journey, and crest with Martin Smith's divinely awestruck and heaven-desperate temperament. Although Delirious has been in the worshipping business since the early 1990s, each member has retained a focused passion that clearly is unfeigned and likely to cause an internal double take within those who attempt a causal listen. Even the floaty electronic textures of Glo's ballads carry an energy that will not let one drift from the path that the songs are taking. This extravagant response of worship to an infinite God is unmatched by any other worship artist. Delirious fans already will hold a high opinion of the band, but this disc exceeds even lofty expectations. --Israel Button« less

CD Reviews
An incredible worship experience!

"When you hear the Delirious is releasing another worship cd, then you immediately know it's going to be good. All that's left to ask now is: "How good?" The answer is simple: "Incredible!" This cd is unique in that there are 4 "Glo" cuts that are spontaneous worship times when the band was finished with a song but felt led to continue playing and flowing afterward. Definitely not your usual studio album! Several great songs on here, as well as an updated "Jesus' Blood" from the "Mezzamorphis" cd. "Awaken the Dawn" is great, and the first song "God You are my God" is fabulous! No doubt you'll be hearing these songs rotate through worship services of churches everywhere before long! I know they'll be in our youth services very soon!"
From the UK - and proud of it!

"You know being from the UK can sometimes be really annoying. Over there in the US you get stuff cheaper and faster than us, but this time the UK wins! Not only can I be proud that such a top quality ablum came from a band from Littlehampton, England, but also it was released over in England first too! [With a better cover :-) ]. Having bought this album on day of relese in July in the UK [at least 2 months before you lot :-p ], I can say with confidence that it really does exceed expectations incredibly. If you're looking for another "Mezzamorphis" then this isn't it - this is a worship album, a sort of cross between "Mezzamorphis" and "King of Fools". But don't let this put you off - it still rocks bigtime. This is Delirious' heart, pure and simple, and the focus and glory (as usual) goes to God. The way in which Delirious achieve this is something truly special. This CD will rock my sound system for a long time......and then a bit longer."
GLOriously Stratospheric.

"Now that Delirious is big-time mainstream in America (you've all seen Martin "Smiff" singing live at Wembley on the Weather Channel commercials), with sold-out concerts in Nashville and Houston, you'd expect the boys from Britain to blend into the rest of the Christian music scene and get predictable on us. WRONGO!! Glo is an amazingly unpredictable, surprising, creative-to-the-max work of art. They've got singing monks on here, for heaven's sake! (no pun intended). They've got bagpipes, choirs, string quartets, and oh yeah, screaching guitars that will send smoke through your speakers. GLO is short for Glorious, and this CD will lift you into the glorious heights of the majesty of God. As others have noted, some of the best stuff on here can be found on the spontaneous "Glo In The Dark" tracks which are extensions of the previous songs (my favorite part of the whole CD is when Martin says "Here we go, boys!" on "Glo In The Dark Part 3). "God's Romance" is a great rock-n-roll worship party song with a hint of Achtung Baby-esque production tricks. "My Glorious" is another, well, "glorious" power-worship tune, and the songs "Everything" (with a cool video; rain, wind, fire: kind of reminds you of the Holy Spirit, eh?), "Hang On To You", "Awaken The Dawn", and "The Years Go By" are magnificent. And those are just the loud songs! The quiet, introspective songs are excellent, too. "God You Are My God" is a classic. The d: boys have done it again."
3 Words___THE BEST EVER

"This is album is quite simply put, the greatest creation to ever grace a CD player. Delirious rocks on this album, and re-invents the category that they almost singlehandedly created, which is rock praise and worship. Every song on this CD is phenomenol. There are absolutely no filler tracks on this CD. This band uses their great 5 set band to produce a variety of incredible sounds for the CD.Highlights include (oh wait, there all highlights!). Well, the highlights I'm going to mention are, God You are My God, Investigate, Awaken the Dawn, Intimate Stranger, and My Glorious.My Glorious....simply the best song ever created. The band starts this out as a hard rock song, then go into singing the chorus of My Glorious over and over again. They did this in front of a crowd of 150 people, and when they get about 4:30 into the song, the music eventually grows louder, till the crowd and band erupt into a moment of absolute worship. It's so great! You can hear the crowd going bonkers in the background. Martin Smith and the D:boys just sing and play their hearts out to God not only on this song, but all of them, and it truly shows.This album is perhaps the best music I've ever heard. Being a musician I know how great these guys are, and how tight they are. It's phenomal to hear 5 guys that are extremely talented, humbly pouring themselves out to God in humble worship. These guys rock!In a few years, Delirious? will have broken through into the mainstream. As good as they are now, and if they continue to improve, they'll be one of the greatest bands of all time. One things for sure though, being rock stars will never change these guys, they'll always be worshippers of GodEven if you don't own much Christian music, this is a great album to buy. Get it todayJonny DP.S.---I agree with the guy's comment below. If the worhsip band of angels in heaven ever get tired, I'm sure Delirious? will be the first people God asks to fill in. LOL"
