Worth the long wait and a brilliant sequel to the first album .  I've spent some days carefully listening. This album is just great! I can only thank Jogeir for all he's put into it.  The songs are so richly layered, the more you listen the more you hear.  This is right up there with the best melodic electronic....so another album to cherish, can't wait for the next! Hope it'll be soon!

Jogeir picked the perfect songs, Nestea and Antiquated, to open and close an exceptional album.   Overall, the music is versatile, upbeat, inspiring, relaxing, and refreshing.  Every time that I listen to the album, it seems like new music.  For some inexplicable reason, my brain has memorized Nestea.  It sounds very familiar although this is the first album of Jogeir's, that I purchased.

When I bought this CD, I wasn't sure what to expect from it, as I am only familiar with Jogeir Liljedahl as a Amiga composer/musician back in the days, and not as a actual musical artist. And I never paid enough attention to his music at the time being. But after putting this CD into the player I can only tell you that I'm not disappointed a bit!. This one has everything that made Jogeir Liljedahl famous back then and much..much more! 

Well polished electronic music is what you will hear, actually a little bit in the same vein as Tangerine Dream & similar artists, but there are also traces of some 'Guido Meyer' guitar moments here and there. And this can be heard on tracks such as 'Nestea' and 'Hidden Past', which are in my opinion the peak of his creativity and makes this CD worth buying for those two tracks alone!. Am I Impressed yet? Oh YES! 

The rest of the tracks are also mindblowing synthesizer extravaganza from start to finish. It is clear to me that Chris Hülsbeck was involved in making this CD come true, as there are many significant sounds that reminds about his earlier works. Listen to the track 'Antiquated' (Turrican II anybody?), and you will instantly have a flashback to the heydays of the Amiga 500. 

This is definetely a CD for those seeking out something new and something old. It delivers it all and contains all the elements that conjures up a well crafted electronic music voyage with the touch of some gorgeous sounding guitars in it aswell. A Lush mix! 

I give it my warmest recommendations to just anybody(!) who is looking for more of what TD produced back around 1988-89, but also for those who like intrumental guitar based music. Top Stuff!! 

Again, Highly Recommended!!

I've also got the physical CD from CDbaby and what can I say - Out of Silence is a splendid CD production with amazing, top-notch tracks, en par and also superior to Jogeir's equally amazing first album. My favorite tracks on Vol. 2 are clearly Nestea (fav part starting at 2:05) and Latenite (fav part 1:07, would fit as an credits song for a hollywood blockbuster, maybe an animation film :). Words really cannot describe what absolute beauty lies in those and in all other tracks on the album.

I congratulate my good and longtime friend Jogeir to an outstanding and paramount achievment, and send huge respect and kudos to Yogi - you're also a true rastaman! :)
