Review

"Key Silence" is a 2CD Set containing a selection of pivotal SILENCE tracks (all digitally re-mastered), alongside NINE previously unreleased older tracks and one brand new song too. The record is the band's first release since signing to Accession Records in November 2005. The first disc, "Anthology", features Benko's and Hladnik's selection of 13 quintessential SILENCE songs. Tracing the band's evolution from its 1997 debut album, "Ma Non Troppo", to last year's critically acclaimed "Veronika" soundtrack, the record focuses on what Benko lovingly describes as the band's "less faulty tracks and most interesting failures". The first CD also features Ernst Horn's (DEINE LAKAIEN, HELIUM VOLA) remarkable remix of "Scream, Greeneyes" and the compelling, previously unreleased live version of "The Fifth Elephant", recorded during one of the band's most memorable performances - the 2004 'Vain Tribute' concert in Ljubljana.

The second CD, entitled "Rarities", is a true collector's item. Apart from 9 previously unreleased tracks (including archival recordings, experimental tracks and theatre pieces) the disc also contains one brand new track, "Talkshow" comprised exclusively of vocals. "Rarities" also contains a new, instrumental version of "God Forsaken Country", performed by the Rozmarinke String Quartet. The new version was originally released on Rozmarinke's homonymous 2004 debut album and was, until now, available only in Slovenia.

Ranging from the immaculate electro-pop of Kraljestvo Macjih Oci to the ethnic sounds of Lagrimae, from the playful, cabaret-like "The Last Dance" to the orchestral grandeur of "Der Untergang", "Key Silence" represents the ultimate testament to the band's stylistic eclecticism and artistic potential. Whether you are trying to complete your SILENCE collection or looking for a comprehensive introduction to the band's extensive body of work, "Key Silence" is the perfect choice.
