What happened was last spring Rhys left the FLA/Delerium/Intermix/NoiseUnit/Synaesthesia partnership he had with Bill Leeb because he wanted to keep going with the direction of the last FLA album which was lots of heavy death metal type guitars while Bill wanted to return to the FLA/synth dance beat stuff. It has always amazed me that both have always professed metal to be their favorite genre of music and yet they make some of the best idm/industrial dance stuff I've ever heard. Anyway, Bill eventually won over and they are back together and releasing a new FLA album this month. I've even heard rumors that there is a Spheres III album in the coming for Delerium. Ash
