Dealing with the struggle to survive in a surprisingly upbeat and life-affirming fashion, this triumphant disc is the best example yet that in facing death, one can also confront the larger issues of life and ultimately find peace. The result is a masterful album about immortality at once intensely personal, yet broad in its sheer pop appeal. Born from the quote by Friedrich Nietzche, "I would believe only in a god that knew how to dance," the album is a showcase for the considerable talent that has driven the dream career of the L.A. musician. A mix of prayerful, comforting ballads and rockers dealing with tragedy, surrender, rescue and the Great Unknown, A God That Can Dance is a testament to faith in eternal life, a look past suffering, and an embracing of the infinite. Delph has crafted a big pop/rock sound reminiscent of U2 and Tears For Fears, blended with the stirring vocal soul of Sting and Peter Gabriel, with a little Avalon-era Roxy Music thrown into the mix. The production is slick and engaging with vibrant, passionate, melodic tracks performed by a crack backup ensemble. Delph has created some of the most upbeat, positive, life-affirming and spiritual rock music you may ever hear. Songs dealing with anger ("Mad at God," which is punctuated with screaming sax work), sorrow, and finding strength lead to a poetic and otherworldly, new age-style climax with the pensive album closers "Breath of Life" and "Dance at the End of Time." Delph makes death into a beautiful thing by removing the fear and replacing it with faith and hope. It's a remarkable journey for modern ears and hearts. "If you need help/If you need help/Just call," the finally whispers as the album fades into the windy ether. ~ Will Grega |
Manufacturer's Information: Paul Delph jumped into the LA music scene shortly before earning his college degree at the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. The classic story of a phone call, a new band, plane tickets for him and his synthesizer, and a 'never look back' attitude came true for him. Singer, songwriter, producer, engineer, and studio musician, Paul's career blossomed in California, New York and London. Early in the epidemic, Paul contracted HIV; it did not impact his productive life for nearly a decade. After his diagnosis with AIDS, he continued to work on his Music for AIDS projects until failing health forced a return to his family home at Cincinnati early in 1996. Enthusiasm, talent, and an unswerving devotion to his music and his friends returned a wide circle of personal and professional respect. The circle grows through a music scholarship fund established in his name and expanding online connections to his life and times. Highlights of Paul's career include performances on The Tonight Show and opening concerts for The Police, Jimmie Spheeris, Moody Blues, and Iggy Pop. TV and film scores for Universal Studios and Lorimar Pictures were also part of his repertoire. This album was privately released to family and friends in 1996. Growing interest in Paul's legacy has made this reissue possible. digitally remastered, with a package design that features a 'mini-poster' CD insert including all lyrics, new artwork, credits and updated bio information. Through your interest and support, five additional Paul Delph collections are currently slated for release on CD. Visit the News page on our website for more info. A major portion of funds collected from the sale of Paul's work benefits the Paul Lee Delph Memorial Music Scholarship Fund.
