Pete Namlook Listened to the new Silence today over and over again.
V is simply a good match to the other parts of the series.
Neither better nor worse, in my opinion, just a good sequel that should please everybody who liked one of the former releases. The only obvious slight conceptual differences from previous Silence parts are the soprano vocals from Jenny Gibbert whose voice already appeared on Virtual Vices II and The Fires of Ork II, and the guitar showing up in the second half of the last track. The opening track is a very static, beautiful piece of sustained melodic ambience, with subtle string textures and a soprano vocal. All this praise from a self-confessed jaded FAX cynic as myself must mean that it is worth a purchase.
