‘These are great tunes. They really take me where i wanna be’
The Delta Waves started in late 95 as a series of recording projects created by Greg Naumann. Starting off as very experimental music recorded on minimal equipment (an early Fostex 4-track), Greg decided to expand the sound by collaborating and recording with musicians also of the then pinned 'Detroit Space Rock Scene'. The Delta Waves began playing live shows with a constant rotation of musicians like Eric Morrison (Fuxa), Mike Eberline (Unexplained Transmissions), and Rob Moon (Gravity Wax). In late 99 Anton Abramov also joined in and then became a member with Greg Naumann. After recording the material for their first full length c.d. "the Delta Waves dream in real time", Ryan Anderson (x-Fuxa) joined to complete the band.
Sound on "the Delta Waves dream in real time"
The Delta Waves music tends to come from a dream perspective with reverb drenched guitars and ambient soundscapes. The percussion delivers many different styles from techno to breakbeat to addictive acoustic beats. The Delta Waves like to make instrumental music as well as songs with vocals. Vocals are usually subtle and although they add a strong presence to the song they are almost hauntingly used as an instrument.
The Delta Waves explain their music as soundtracks to dreams or daydreams. The music is sometimes trancy and hypnotising. They achieve a wide and dynamic sound through soft distortion and analog synth. Each song usually holds some form of contrast that slips into the listener’s ears almost subconsciously. It is escapist music that is original and refreshing.

wow more music from space rock capitol (5/5 stars)
‘The Detroit/Dearborn area has the greatest space rocker family tree. Lets see you have Windy and Carl, Fuxa, Gravity Wax, and here the Delta Waves! These are great tunes. They really take me where i wanna be. This is a more simplistic sound for Delta Waves but ear candy just the same.’ - Review of Under Clouds Over Ground on The Internet archive
