Delirious?
My Soul Sings
Sparrow Records
Grade – A
Not too long ago Delirious? announced their intentions to “take a break” from touring and recording. The scheduled break comes at the end of 2009 as the band makes its final rounds of a multi-country tour. The current release, My Soul Sings, is a live compilation of the history of the band including hits from 1997 – 2008. The new project is also being packaged as a CD/DVD combo.
I have always agreed that Delirious? is one of the best live bands – period – and therefore the new project is a nice addition to my collection of CD’s. However, I would imagine that as they wrap up the year they would be making a live recording of their farewell tour. I’m not sure then if My Soul Sings is it and as they play the last show, they will just wrap it up and put it all away in storage.
From what I can tell the current DVD is only of the concert and does not include any extras. I think that any farewell project deserves more than that and I have to believe that there will be another DVD with a few more behind the scene extras.
It’s a toss up really, is it worth the purchase now or would it be better to wait and see if there is a “final” live recording. Either way, there is no denying the fact that the current project is meaningful for Delirious? fans, but it seems to be out of time or order. Keep an eye on their official website for updates and final tour dates.
