History

Euphoria was formed in Toronto in 1993 by Ken Ramm. Their 1999 self-titled effort featured guest appearances by Geddy Lee (Rush), Roy Babbington (Soft Machine), Anne Dudley (Art of Noise), and gospel singer Juliette Roberts.[2][3] In 1999 the track "Delirium" from the self-titled debut release broke onto North American radio charts.[4] "Delirium" was also used in The Ongoing History of New Music episode "Alt-Rock's Greatest Instrumentals" from 2003.

The album Beautiful My Child was released in early 2001. In 2006, Euphoria released their third album, Precious Time, which featured full-length vocal tracks from singers Tracy Bonham and Tina Dico.[5][4] A two album set, E4 Vocal and Instrumental, was released in 2013.

Euphoria's music has been used on several television shows, including CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Malcolm In The Middle, Roswell, Luck, Witchblade and Oprah. Films include The Expendables 3, The Center Of The World and international trailers for the films Vanilla Sky and Hidalgo. Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs used Euphoria's songs Sweet Rain and Delirium in his Keynotes presentations.
