The music of Delusional Mind is hard to put into a single category. It runs the spectrum from heavy metal, to southern rock, to music with a jazz and blues feel. Delusional Mind is not about a type of music, but more an idea of music. Our music is all original.

Below are the songs we currently have available. Some are demos meant as a sample of what we do, others are some of our songs recorded live at our first show. Sound quality varies wildly with live versions being the worst, but hey, they were recorded live with a camcorder!

If you wish to access our old recordings from before Delusional Mind was complete, you may access them in the archive.

We support Vorbis (ogg) and FLAC audio compression technologies for their open and free philosophy and superior sound quality for a given file size. We provide our songs in the inferior and closed mp3 format as well.

If you are running Windows and want to play OGG Vorbis and FLAC files in Windows Media Player, you can download the Windows codecs, provided by Illiminable, absolutely free, by clicking this link.

Our first production will be a double album release. The 2 albums will be released at the same time. The first album will be titled "Insanity's Realm" and the second will be titled "Manic". They are both currently in production.

The album "Insanity's Realm" will be released for free on this web site for all to download and enjoy.

The album "Manic" will be released on this web site for a nominal charge to cover production costs. When you purchase "Manic" you will receive a higher quality version of "Insanity's Realm" as a bonus.

Once the albums are completed, we will offer the standard edition of "Insanity's Realm" here for free in OGG Vorbis and mp3 formats. If you decide you like it and would like to purchase the album "Manic", we will include the entire special edition version of "Insanity's Realm" which includes an acoustic version of "All Alone", in flac format, or burn a cd set and ship them to you (your choice).

We will provide printable album covers, inserts with lyrics, and CD labels so you can make your own official CD's. We're currently working on the artwork for the albums. You can take a peek at what we're looking at by clicking the Album Art link below.

Explanation of file types:

FLAC
FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. FLAC files are quite large since they're lossless. If you want a perfect copy or are going to burn it to cd and want a cd quality source then flac is what you're after. If you just want something to listen to that is good, but not cd quality, then the ogg and mp3 files are what you want (and are MUCH smaller). FLAC is an open standard and is not covered by any patents. Release status FLAC files for purchase from Delusional Mind are roughly 50-60% of the size of the uncompressed CD audio and will produce a perfect copy. There is no better version of the music in existance.

OGG
OGG is a media container format and can contain virtually any kind of media incuding both audio and video. The most common type of payload when you see this extension is going to be audio encoded using the Vorbis audio codec. This combination is typically called "OGG Vorbis". The Vorbis codec is equal to or superior to most other audio codecs. It also is freely available, documented, and patent and royalty free, which sets it in a class by itself as all other comparable codecs are closed and require payment of excessive royalties to legally use. Release status OGG Vorbis files released for free by Delusional Mind are encoded at quality level 3. OGG Vorbis tracks purchased from Delusional Mind will be available at quality level 8, 9, or 10 selectable by the purchaser.

MP3
MP3 is the extension used for audio encoded using the MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 codec. This is by far the most commonly found format on the internet for audio. It is a closed format and requires the payment of very high royalties to encode files due to patents on the algorithms. Because of the legal and financial issues surrounding the mp3 codec, Delusional Mind will only release free files using it. Any tracks purchased from Delusional Mind will be provided in your choice of OGG Vorbis, FLAC, or, providing a full album is purchased, a physical CD. Release status mp3 files released by Delusional Mind are encoded using the lame encoder using the radio preset, which yields a variable bit-rate file which tends to average around 112kbps.
