UMUR
"Teachings In Silence" is a compilation album by Norwegian experimental music act Ulver. The compilation was released through Black Apple in March 2002. It´s a compilation featuring all material from the two 2001 EPs "Silence Teaches You How To Sing" (September 2001) and "Silencing The Singing" (December 2001).

Featuring only four tracks and a total playing time of 52:59 minutes, "Teachings In Silence" is a compilation which is rich in quantity. The 24:05 minutes long title track from "Silence Teaches You How To Sing" opens the compilation and it´s a fragmented ambient electronic oriented track, featuring both drone/noise sections and more melancholic atmospheric sections. The three tracks from the "Silencing The Singing" are slighly more easily accessible and predominantly consist of repetion and subtle dark and melancholic melodies, glitches, and other atmosphere enhancing features.

It´s obvious that Ulver at this point in their career experimentet wildly and dipped their toes in a lot of different genres and stylistic elements. It´s certainly bold, but not necessarily their finest hour. A 2.5 star (50%) rating is warranted.
