Customer Reviews

All you'll ever need
All so very occasionally you listen to something that really measures up to the hype that is afforded it. Silent Village's debut Silent Movie does just that.
This is an imperious mix of smokey cinema seascapes - check out the calm, languid opener Victoria's secret and addictive, funky bounce of Pacific rhythm. The opener burns into the intrepid bass of Circus of Horror's - it's the soundtrack to a cop series with a soul. "Free Rider" is again so calm, poised, every beat in the right place.
"Broken Promises" has you gently swaying from side to side, lost in a dream. So many ideas, so many possibilities - the record branches into psych rock with "Pillow Talk" and "Gold Rush." And it all works - the breathing sounds on "Singing Sand," the delicate, twisting string sounds on "Utopia."
Three years plus in it's execution - this has all the hallmarks of a real masterwork, the kind of record that burns, maturing slightly with every listen, never past its peak. Indispensable for anyone who claims to like music.

A perfect album
Quiet simply the best album I have bought this year ! Very easy to listen to , but a varied mix of musical influences that all come together , all slighly different but with a common thread running through them !! Highly recommend !

disco with narrative
had to review this due to being disappointed with the negative review. This is a well crafted album using samples to create a film like narrative. the start is particularly strong and it does fade out a bit towards the last few tunes. This is an album you can listen to relax to or when you feel the need for a deep and layered experience. It feels like an adult avalanches and that is a fine thing for me.
