Delusion squared the final delusion album review


delusion squared is a progressive rock band from France. The band was created in 2009 by Steven Francis, Emmanuel de Saint Méen and Lorraine Young, and released its eponymous debut album in September 2010.

Their music can be classified to be close to a female fronted Porcupine Tree. It has received considerable attention from its release, with notable reviews from Ravenheart Music, Strutter'zine, Music Street Journal, and is also "album of the month" at newears.org. These reviews compare Delusion Squared's music to Porcupine Tree but also to Anathema, The Pineapple Thief, Ayreon, Phideaux.

Their debut work is a concept-album unraveling a dark sci-fi story in which a young girl, who was born in a post nuclear techno society, revolts against her condition (and the AI supremacy) and decides to give birth to a natural child. Due to copyright laws which extend to modified genes, she is found guilty of "gene piracy" and abandoned on the polluted outside. There she meets survivors, and becomes a spiritual guide to them, eventually starting a new religion.

The CD release is a dual sleeve digipack sporting a synopsis of the story. A digital release is also available. The album is a self-release, with no evidence that the band tries to get signed to a record label. According to an interview in Music Street Journal the band is busy preparing a sequel to the first album. There is no evidence that the band has ever played live or will be going to.
