To bad there aren't very positive replies on Silk. It is actually pretty 
easy-listening music. Rhythms in part 1 and 2 do hit the spot much
more than in 'a day in the live' plus they are more in balance with 
the sphere. I think the tough thing about Silk is probably the arabic 
theme. You must like the guitar playing, deep and glittering 
environment, electronic xylophone, etc. 
Although it is pretty evolving from track 2 on (track 1 differs imho) 
the environment is very versatile structured. And hey! It is ambient ;-) 
 
Next to that i recommend listening this one on a good stereo or dts
set, cause of the high tones.
