Delerium 'Nuages du Monde' Album Design Contest

All you have to do is design your own version of “Nuages du Monde” (please see contest guidelines below). The winning design will be selected by Vancouver-based duo, Delerium. The winner will receive $550 in prizes and have their design displayed on Delerium’s website!

The fifth full-length release, Nuages du Monde (Clouds of the World) continues the evolution of Delerium from creators of predominately instrumental filmic soundscapes to a fully-fledged vocal group. Featuring an array of renowned singers, Nuages, out now on Nettwerk Records, neatly combines the more overtly commercial pop of previous album Chimera (2005) with the lush sensual ambience and cloistered harmonies of Karma, a meld that bridges the gap between world music, new age electronics and modern classical.
