Another of my very favourite psych albums that has barely left my turntable/ipod since it first blew my mind many years ago, 'The Conference of the Birds' is that rare and beautiful thing - an album that has a truly unique sound. Imagine the psychedelic lovechild of Ravi Shankar and Spacemen 3 brought into the world by Ry Cooder and you're somewhere close to the sound of this album. Essentially trance music, droning sitars and metronomic tabla filtered through a late night narcotic haze, it's a beautiful and magical album, brimming with imaginative use of various exotic instruments. One of Delerium's finest releases.
Track listing:
1. Sukoon
2. Arc of Ascent (Part One)
3. Kiff Riff
4. Garden of Essence
5. Sukoon (Reflection)
6. Shamsa (Sunburst)
7. Baraka
8. Arc of Ascent (Part Two)
9. Freedom Rider
10. Neelum Blue
-Update- Link no longer available. A copright infringement has been slapped upon my sharing of it, even though I ripped it from my own long deleted and very rare CD. I guess it's because you can now get this album from itunes and amazon as a download, and my little corner of the internet is...ahem...hurting their business. Sorry.

That's another great one, I agree (I also love the following one, Path of the Rose, both of them got the heavy rotation treatment when they came out!)
Honestly, it's hard for me to differentiate between their two albums, but I care not--I love them both.
cheers for this mate... far out.x
nice one!

Miss you, guy.
