With Delirious? taking a break at the end of 2009 this is the last project from one of the
pioneers of the modern worship movement. Since 1997's Cutting Edge I have greatly
enjoyed the Brit-Rock music and lyrical worshipfulness of Delirious?. "I Could Sing Of
Your Love Forever", "My Glorious", and "Majesty" have become staples in church
services, and as a long-time fan of fellow British rockers U2, Coldplay, Radiohead and
worship leader Matt Redman, I have eagerly anticipated every album by Delirious?.
The final chapter in the Delirious? story closes with this – the release of a truly limited-
edition and utterly spectacular compilation, History Makers: Greatest Hits. There are
single and double disc options.
If you are like me and have been collecting every album by this amazing band over the
past decade, then you have probably heard all of these songs, however the older tracks
originally from Cutting Edge like “Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble?”, “Shout To
The North”, “The Happy Song”, “Lord You Have My Heart”, “Obsession”, “Find Me In
The River”, “I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever” and “What A Friend I’ve Found” have
a digitally enhanced sound quality that really brings out the amazing musicianship of
Delirious?. Stu G’s guitar playing has a place in the history of Christian music similar to
how The Edge from U2 has influenced mainstream music. The guitar licks in “Rain
Down”, “History Maker”, “My Glorious” and “My Soul Sings” are among the most
powerful and signature-sounding in the history of the modern worship genre. Many past
and current modern worship artists including SonicFlood, Matt Redman, David Crowder,
MercyMe, Jeremy Riddle and The Glorious Unseen have built on the “Solid Rock”
foundation set by Delirious?. Speaking of “Solid Rock”, that track is only available on
the expanded limited edition 2 disc collection and is one of the stand-out songs originally
from The Mission Bell.
From the single disc collection, “Deeper” and “History Maker” represent the break-out
album King of Fools, and are great examples of how Delirious? has a blend of both
contemporary and worship anthems. My favorite overall studio album Kingdom of
Comfort is represented by “My Soul Sings” and “We Give You Praise” and all-time
worship classics “Majesty” and “My Glorious” round out this amazing and spot-on
representation of the greatest ‘hits’ by Delirious?. If you like the ‘deeper’ album cuts
by Delirious? (and I do) then you need to pick up the double disc limited edition which
includes “Inside Outside”, “Love Will Find A Way”, “Investigate”, “Stronger” and “Paint
The Town Red”.
Closing Thoughts:
It’s the end of an era. In this digital download age, I don’t often recommend
compilations, however this is easily the best ‘greatest hits’ anthology I’ve ever heard by
one of the premier bands in the history of Christian music.
