Teachings in Silence (2002)
Collects Silence Teaches You How to Sing (2001) and Silencing the Singing (2001)
Ulver continued to erode their musical barriers with two minimalist/ambient EPs that were collected together the following year due to their exploring similar themes. The new release was renamed Teachings In Silence.It's a dark and strangely compelling work that teases a listener with some beautiful haunting melodies beneath the pops, crackles and ambient glitch. The sounds have a very definite sense of timing and purpose; there's nothing random about their occurrences.
If you're a fan of ambient, you'll know that sifting through the sheer volume of crap that's available can sometimes unearth a gem. Teachings sparkles.
