Delirium Tremens is the only studio album by the American experimental music ensemble Sulfur, released on June 16, 1998, by Goldenfly Records. With French composer and vocalist Michele Amar acting as bandleader, the album includes performances by members of Firewater, Motherhead Bug, Soul Coughing and Swans.
Reception In writing for Ink 19, critic Kurt Channing criticized Delirium Tremens unclear tonal direction but claimed "Sulfur's distinguishing characteristics are its solid use of unusual instruments and Michele Amar’s vocal approach." A critic at babysue criticized the busy nature of some of the compositions but comparing the complex music somewhat favorably to early eighties progressive rock music.
