  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.
