The Best Of is a compilation album by Delerium, released on Nettwerk in 2004. The album collects most of the band's singles up to this point. In addition, it contains the album tracks "Terra Firma", "Run for It" (never released as a single, but included as a radio edit), and "Remembrance", as well as the previously unreleased songs "Paris" and "You & I".

A new remix of "Silence" served as the new single released from the album.

Delerium was the perfect diamond chipped out of the blasted earth of Front Line Assembly. A collaboration between FLA's Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb, Delerium took them to the opposite pole of their prior industrial electronic sound. Where FLA was a group that would just as soon sledgehammer Pachebel's "Canon in C," Delerium turns it into a dance number of ethereal seduction called "Paris." Drawing from their recordings for Nettwerk Records, this collection focuses on the seductive side of Delerium with chilled electro-dance rhythms and the bevy of ethereal girls they've used to front their project. Of course, Sarah McLachlan's "Silence," a yearning hymn for heaven, is here in it's original and a remixed version. "Silence" remains Delerium's greatest hit, but there are many equally compelling tracks including songs with Leigh Nash of Sixpence None the Richer and early works featuring a little-known singer, Kristy Thirsk. It was Thirsk who established Delerium's penchant for gothic lyricism on "Flowers Become Screens." While their recent CD, Chimera, shows a slick tendency toward the middle of the road, this retrospective highlights Delerium's crafty merger of techno-dance grooves and diva-driven lyricism. --John Diliberto
