| Silence's Albums You Need Pt.2
Hope you've listened to the first ten because here's ten more. Again, comment if this list is
helpful or not so I'll know to make more.. or not. K thanks. | | 1 |  | World's End Girlfriend
Ending Story
Sample filled post rock meets ambient laced trip hop. The third and second track are sooo bad, but
otherwise hella good. | | 2 |  | Wonderland Falling Yesterday
Enchanted Landscape Escape
Another Katsuhiko Maeda project. A more minimalist version of Worlds End Girlfriend. | | 3 |  | Matryoshka
Zatracenie
Sleepingdog meets Worlds End Girlfriend. Sooo effing good. | | 4 |  | Azure Ray
Burn and Shiver
A must listen if your a fan of Sleepingdog. | | 5 |  | Motohiro Nakashima
We Hum On The Way Home
Alot of instrumental music suffers from being too cute. Artists like The Album Leaf, Explosions In The
Sky etc. attempt to make "pretty" music but more times then not instead of pulling on your
heartstrokes they bring the zzz's and sometimes even bring up your lunch. But with We Hum On The
Way Home Japanese composer Motohiro Nakashima manages to stay on the right side of cute. Mainly
consisting of just piano, trumpet and acoustic guitar, this Jap manages to make some of best neo
classical music I've heard since Max Richter, and music thats perfect for that picnic in park with your,
probably unfaithful, lover. | | 6 |  | Nick Cave & Warren Ellis
The Road
Minimalist but epic, dark but glorious, dreary but organic the soundtrack to the Road conveys exactly
what the film presented; a glimmering hope in complete turmoil. Not only that but it could possibly
the best work from both of the artists involved, referring to their work with The Assassination of Jesse
James by the Coward Robert Ford, Cave?s award winning score to The Proposition, Ellis? band Dirty
Three, and whatever else they have been a part of. The Road soundtrack completes maybe one of the
decade?s most prevailing trilogies, while standing on its own as a modern classical masterpiece,
taking its place beside Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Lustmord as creating a perfect soundtrack
for the apocalypse. | | 7 |  | Rachel Grimes
Book Of Leaves
A gorgeous solo piano record. | | 8 |  | Stars of the Lid
Carte-De-Visite
Carte-De-Visite features outtakes and unreleased work of the Stars of the Lid from 1997 - 2007.
While containing their trade marked ambient beauty, it also holds some of the minimalist legends'
most straight forward and gorgeous material. With stunning piano melodies, and samples that add so
much to the atmosphere, SOTL prove that they don't need stick completly to drone to be
breathetaking. | | 9 |  | Sigur Ros
Untitled 1
Don't get me wrong, ( ) is one of my favourite records of all time, but it would actually be better if it
had all of the material from this. Yeah, it's that good. | | 10 |  | Rachel's
Music for Egon Schiele
Breathtaking neo classical meets beautiful post rock. If it wasn't for the even better The Sea and the
Bells it just might be classic material. | |

06.08.10 | Any feedback would be great. Thanks. | Athom
06.08.10 | anything else? because I've already got all these. | YouAreMySilence
06.08.10 | Ahah umm go to part 1. | Disconnected
06.08.10 | I should probably get 1. That split between them and Mono was awesome. Only problem is that it's expensive. I should probably get 9 as well; I liked ( ). | smokescreens
06.08.10 | 10 is great. | YouAreMySilence
06.08.10 | Yeah, the Mono/ Worlds End Girlfriend split is amazing. Get Hurtbreak Wonderland first though, it's their best.
And yeah 10 is amazing!
| Jash
06.09.10 | That's awesome that you put the Untitled 1 EP in there. Soooooooo good! | YouAreMySilence
06.10.10 | Dude I know. Like if they put at least 9A on ( ) it would be even more classic than it is. |
