5 out of 5 stars Hilarious .......2006-12-10

This is not just one more baroque potpurie. The hart of this CD however, is the organ in various pieces and arrangements. It is fresh in Haendl's Royal Fireworks, authoritative in Haydn's Deutschland Hymn and true in Beethoven's Ode to Joy. On the other hand a group of Anthony's solo master performances are breathtaking, but the most impressive is Julianne Baird and her fortepiano accompany. After two measure intro to aria of Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice I am plunged in to a depth of emotions. That's fine singing and accompany that I couldn't find even in the best Orfeo ed Euridice, one of the Jean Claude Malgoire and James Bowman interpretation.
This CD is awesome throughout. I definitely have a crush on it. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars The first Chapter in the Doom/Death Bible........2007-05-08

MY DYING BRIDE, PARADISE LOST, CATHEDRAL, WINTER, disEMBOWELMENT, and lastly ANATHEMA are the god-fathers of the "Doom/Death" movement... Silent Enigma is what I like to consider the last truely original "Doom/Death" record... scores of bands count them as influence...
I have always nicknamed this release as the "Into the Pandemonium" of this era of "Doom/Death" metal... Vincent's "clean" vocals are very similiar to what Tom G. Warrior refered to as his "mournful vocal"... and the guitar work is simply brilliant, and crushingly heavy. This album is a very important release of this era and for those who dont own it, that's unfortunate.

4 out of 5 stars A good sampling of the ARTE NOVA catalogue..........2005-12-25

I usually don't go for compilations such as this, but this 78+min. disc spans the centuries. We go from Bach to Mahler and everywhere inbetween. ADAGIO(ital. slow, gentle), sit back relax
with a good book or just gaze into space. The underated Arte Nova artists will make this sensual feast for the ears worthwhile. You'll want to go out and get more from this source
if you can still find them!

4 out of 5 stars Good Bach.......2001-07-17

Well, this is what I call good Bach, a well played Bach. Very relax music for people that like barok music. Not a must, but a good item for a good colection.

        4 out of 5 stars A Fine Doom album.......2007-04-23

        Anathema are an excellent band. I can't understand some of these nasty reviews. If you don't like the music fine, but damn relax. Anyway, this is a strong Doom album. The lyrics and the "Floydian" vibe make this very cohesive. If you really want to know about the Doom metal genre, "The Silent Enigma" is/was a very important statement. Take the time, appreciate what this is and you will be rewarded. If you have to force yourself, then you don't understand "early" Doom.

        4 out of 5 stars Good stuff!.......2006-02-05

        I just pulled this out of my music library the other day. This is not bad...I always used to compare this to Serenades (Essential doom/death) and Pentecost III, and toss it aside. But, after all these years, I recognize that I may have overlooked the gems on this album. And there are quite a few. For all those fans who like the doom genre or My Dying Bride or Paradise Lost, this is an essential addon to your library. This album has Anathema starting to move away from Doom/Death with many songs actually sung. But, I have to say, the ones which I like the best are NOT. Restless Oblivion, Cerulean Twilight and A Dying Wish are classics. ....Alone is a great track with so much emotion. In fact, this Doom/Death genre or whatever it is, overflows with emotion. Brilliant. A definite buy. And please don't compare A Fine Day to Exit to this or anything before it. Its two completely different genres. Though, I have to say that Serenades, Pentecost III, and The Silent Enigma albums definitely stand out from the crowd...Fine Day to Exit blah blah don't compare....

        5 out of 5 stars One of the best British doom albums.......2004-12-19

        This is one of those albums people tend to either love or hate, without much middle ground existing between the two. I happen to be among the former catagory. To me, The Silent Enigma is a quintessential Doom album. Sure, Vincent hadn't quite reached the peak of his vocal abilities when this was first released but he sings with more emotion on this than any other album. Kinda remiscent of the clean vox of My Dying Bride in some ways. the music is dark and brooding with influences ranging from Pink Floyd to Bathory. They also experiment with innovative reverb techniques that add an extra dimension to the overall ambience. When it comes to an ever evolving band like Anathema it is difficult to say which is the best album because all of them sound so different. Personally, I consider this, Judgement, A Fine Day To Exit and Eternity to be their best, however I know there's quite a few people who would disagree. So in conclusion I'd just like to point out that it wouldn't be a bad idea to just listen to the sound samples and figure out what you like from Anathema because the opinions differ so much.

        1 out of 5 stars snore!.......2003-09-22

        Jesus, how incredibly boring can a band get? Well, self loathing, pretentious metalheads Anathema have no competition here. This album can put you to sleep in under 15 minutes with its repetitive, stoic, cardboard tunes.

        5 out of 5 stars the most emotional doom album ever.......2003-08-25

        imagine what comes out combining pure doom metal melancholy with the atmosphere of pink floyd,yes pink floyd.i was/am amazed by this album,vincent's vocals(though i was afraid after darren left).it's divine dark and melancholic atmosphere are so beautiful given.start listening it from the begining, without stoping and you will realise that this is not just music but true melancholic emotions flowing from the deepest of anathema right into your heart.the lyrics can stand as a poetry anthology themselves,while anathema seem not to play music but create a dark world, a lost heaven.anathema are blessed by the nocturnal muse, and make history with the silent enigma.buy it with no second thought,i'd die for it.
