Bless you guys for all the listening pleasure you have given me!

Orlando, Fla. -1994. Best memories ever!! 

Between 1991 and 1995, Hardkiss Music released seven 12" vinyl singles.  The album Delusions of Grandeur, featuring the best of those cuts, was released in 1995.

Delusions was released on vinyl, cassette and CD and quickly sold out and became out of print classic.  Many fans credit Delusions of Grandeur as the album that turned them onto electronic music, EDM or whatever you prefer to call it.

Now, thanks to the support of our fans, we're making the album available for digital download for the first time.

We'd like to thank the entire Hardkiss and Hallucination families for endless support and inspiration.  

And with pride, we hand over our Delusions of Grandeur to you.

08. 3 Nudes In A Purple Garden

“It’s a rare and dangerous sensation to cup an atomic bomb in your hands.” - Terry Matthew 

Originally released on vinyl only, these three tracks were B-sides of singles that appeared on the 1995 classic Hardkiss double album Delusions of Grandeur. If Delusions … was the bomb, then these three moody remixes are some radioactive fallout from that initial blast of electronic dance music creativity. 

“Raincry” by God Within was Scott Hardkiss’ breakthrough single. It began with a tribal chant sample in a small garage in Twin Peaks, San Francisco. Within the year, that chant was being dropped by DJs all around the world. This mix has a slower burn than the A-side, but all the epic emotion and drama. 

“3 Moods in a Gurple Parden” is Robbie Hardkiss’ remix of Gavin Hardkiss’ first single as Hawke. Here, the unique tech / break / house meditation “3 Nudes in a Purple Garden” gets funked up with latin percussion and a stomping bass line added to the ethereal melodies of the original. 

“Steal From The Rich” is also a Robbie remix. This one is a slowed down, funked up reworking of God Within’s “The Phoenix.” Recorded in Nottingham at DIY Studios, this DC Go-Go inspired mix is quite the departure from the big, banging mixes on the original single by Rabbit in the Moon and Scott Hardkiss.
