There's a Delirium composition called "In Four Dimensions", very little known even among fans. It took me 27 years to discover one of their best pieces. The part from 7 minutes onwards is pure beauty. It takes me to a place that feels like home yet is far removed from planet Earth. And this is why they are my top artist on Last.fm and probably always will be. There are some artists out there that we resonate with so highly despite most people not liking them that it is substantial proof of the variety of human taste. There may be some people out there who would believe me the best poet in the world right now, but they will never read my poems because they aren't good enough to get published or I'm not pushing it hard enough. Delirium's music might fade to dust, or resurrect in the future where it belongs. Because that is where I feel my work belongs, in a future far removed, post AI. Artists like us will transcend time to become fully realized in a world where beauty comes before profit.
