    Completely unnecessary and indulgent but at times hits the mark of a soundtrack to surgical, nightmarish madness.

    If you're thinking of buying this CD, you already know whether you'll like it or not. Fantomas fans will like it, others should steer clear. I for one think it kicks ass, but then again, I am a fan of weird music. If you don't like the idea of music scaring you or making you feel strange, don't listen to this.

    Aside from [a] 20-minute stretch, though, Delìrium Còrdia holds up just fine as a suitably unwieldy, adventurous, patched-together series of instrumental bridges with no chorus to reach.

    In essence, it’s an improvisational nightmare that leaves you feeling extremely uncomfortable for an entire hour, while concurrently having you wish you could lie down to listen.

    Patton's latest fantasy-headache is a one-song, 55-minute conceptual misfire that careens from acid-casualty chamber music to high-velocity cartoon metal. [Feb 2004, p.82]
