Reception

One reviewer stated "There’s an overall mood of passiveness to Silverwater that stands in direct contrast to the more aggressive Chemist. This is The Necks at their most reflective, utilising their key tools of minimalism and repetition to create a gently trance-inducing piece of music. Though occasional bursts of intensity serve to stave off monotony, Silverwater remains a largely subdued affair. That it’s so utterly engaging, and so amenable to repeat listens is testament to the undeniable skill of the musicians involved".[4]

Personnel
gollark: "Borrow" a cutting-edge silicon fab and make your design on 5nm, for maximum good.
gollark: Again, computers are fast, so it can probably be optimized.
gollark: That's quite slow. I get bored if a program takes more than 5 minutes.
gollark: Please prepare for universe destruction in 60 seconds.
gollark: It is not. I am destroying this universe so that, via the anthropic principle, I will never be wrong.
