Although not the best Delerium CD I have ever heard, Stone Tower is quite effective in creating a dark and sinister ambient mood. In true Delerium style, half-heard voices echo across the speakers and there is the ocassional startling abrupt change in music so you're not lulled into only half-listening. I've found my reaction to Stone Tower different to that of other Delerium albums I have; while albums like Semantic Spaces and Karma are soothing and at times relaxing, Stone Tower is not, somewhat like the beginning of Spheres I, because there's an underlying sense of anxiety. Overall, it's not a great album to relax to, but it is fun, especially if you happen to be in a somewhat darker mood. Recommended for those who are already Delerium fans.

In true "early" Delerium (Euphoric, Syrophrenikan, Stone Tower, Spiritual Archives) "Stone Tower" deals with the subjects of death, and the darker sides of hummanity. Leeb and Fulber never dissapointed me with one of there albums. In tower, like other early Delerium, you feel a common theme, or "story" going on while you listen. In this one, I interpret it as a story of grief and loss (as hinted by the first track) but it is probably deeper than that. Standout tracks are "Lost Passion", "Stone Tower", "Aftermath", "Tundra" and the VERY disturbing (its very VERY creepy) "Spirit".
