Presenting ... Silas and Friends | vi | part iii (waag_rel103)


Cousin Silas' sixth compilation of collaborations with his friends completes with the third and final part.

Over the thirty tracks featured in part iii, the variation in sound that started in the first part and is maintained with the second part just keeps on rolling: we have so many different flavours of electronic and ambient music that ensures the mixtape feel continues ... with tracks that stand on their own and really work as part of the album.

As stated before, I would encourage you to compile all the parts of Silas and Friends | vi into a playlist on your listening device of choice ... and have included a cover for the playlist along with the artwork for part iii.

All monies raised from the sale of this album will be donated to Hospice UK. I am both fortunate and grateful to work for an employer who actively matches all donations made ... so everyone purchase will be doubled for the benefit of a very worthy cause.

I really do hope you will enjoy this album as much as I have.

Please Note: due to the fundraising aspect of this album, it will not be added to our collection over at archive.org.

Presenting ... Silas and Friends | vi | part ii (waag_rel102)


Cousin Silas' sixth compilation of collaborations with his friends moves forward with the second of three parts.

As before, it would be unfair to single out any one of the tracks featured ... but it is fair to say the variation in sound that started in the first part continues unabashed: we have Har's vision of sonic punk through to Stephen Briggs' long form ambience with multiple flavours of electronic and ambient music in-between. Part ii sounds like a very best of mixtapes ... a real variety that keeps the listener engaged ... with tracks that stand on their own and work as part of the greater whole.

I would encourage you to compile all the parts of Silas and Friends | vi into a playlist on your listening device of choice ... bring all the tracks together and dive deep into the most wonderful ocean of sound.

All monies raised from the sale of this album will be donated to Hospice UK. I am both fortunate and grateful to work for an employer who actively matches all donations made ... so everyone purchase will be doubled for the benefit of a very worthy cause.

I really do hope you will enjoy this album as much as I have.
