==Members and history== Delerium has traditionally been a two-person project, but the only constant member throughout its history has been [[Bill Leeb]]. Leeb was an early member of industrial music pioneers [[Skinny Puppy]], but after he left in 1986 he went on to create his own project, [[Front Line Assembly]], with collaborator Michael Balch. Later, the two worked on the side project Delerium and released their first album, ''[[Faces, Forms & Illusions]]''. After Balch left both Front Line Assembly and Delerium, Leeb worked with [[Rhys Fulber]], and the two released several albums under the Delerium moniker; these years saw a gradual stylistic change from darker ambient to a more danceable sound. After the release of ''[[Karma (Delerium album)|Karma]]'', Fulber left to pursue other interests, and Leeb teamed up with producer [[Chris Peterson (producer)|Chris Peterson]] to release ''[[Poem (album)|Poem]]''. 2003, however, saw the reunion of Leeb and Fulber for the release of ''[[Chimera (Delerium album)|Chimera]]'', followed by ''[[Nuages du Monde (album)|Nuages du Monde]]'' in 2006. In contrast to Leeb and collaborators' other projects, Delerium has included several guest [[vocalists]] since the release of ''[[Semantic Spaces]]''. These have included mostly women, such as [[Kristy Thirsk]] (of [[Rose Chronicles]]), [[Sarah McLachlan]], [[Leigh Nash]] (of [[Sixpence None the Richer]]), Elsieanne Caplette (of Elsiane), [[Lisa Gerrard]] (sampled only), [[Jaël]] (of Swiss band [[Lunik]]), [[Camille Henderson]], [[Nerina Pallot]], [[Emily Haines]] (of [[Metric (band)|Metric]]), [[Jacqui Hunt]] (of [[Single Gun Theory]]), [[Isabel Bayrakdarian]] and [[Shelley Harland]]. Other than Leeb, only three males have contributed vocals to a Delerium album: [[Matthew Sweet]] ("Daylight", on ''Poem''), Greg Froese ("Apparition", on ''Nuages du Monde''), and Michael Logen ("Days Turn into Nights", on ''Music Box Opera''); in addition, the noted [[griot]] [[Baaba Maal]] was sampled ("Awakenings, on "[[Spiritual Archives]]"). The [[Mediæval Bæbes]] provided the vocal track for, and starred in the video of, ''Aria''; the vocals are an adapted version of the vocals from "All Turns to Yesterday" on the Bæbes' ''[[Worldes Blysse]]'' album. They are also featured on two tracks from Delerium's 2006 album, ''Nuages du Monde''. In addition to these two mainstays, related collaborations between Leeb and Fulber, Peterson, and/or Balch include [[Equinox (electro-industrial band)|Equinox]], [[Intermix (band)|Intermix]], [[Noise Unit]], [[Pro-Tech]], and [[Synæsthesia (Canadian band)|Synæsthesia]], among others. In addition, in 2007 Leeb and Fulber collaborated with Leigh Nash under the name [[Fauxliage]]. Rhys Fulber has also maintained a solo project [[Conjure One]] since his temporary exit from Delerium.
