On this album Radio Citizen indulges in its love for live recorded instruments like never before. When all the previous efforts (with “Warm Canto” as an exception) were heavily based on samples, Radio Citizen's sound gains spontaneity and charisma. Besides the (on the cover illustrated) happy gathering of synthesizers and keyboards there are also exceptionally many wind instruments on the album.

An album floating in musical nowhere land between Krautrock, Free Jazz, Club Culture, Dub and maybe even Pop. Along these lines “Silent Guide” is a masterpiece of deliberate border crossing. The Cool Jazz track “Smoke”, written by Schabel and with Julian Schleiermacher on tenor saxophone, is the appropriate finale of this thrilling journey. We will wax lyrical about this album in years to come.
