Silur

Silur is the second full-length release by Tarwater, an electronic music group from Berlin, Germany. The album debuted on September 28, 1998. The album combines spartan spoken-word narration with ambient, electronic music. The music mainly consists of looped samples layered with live instruments. The instruments used were not those commonly found in pop-rock music. For example, the flute is used throughout the album.

The album received some criticism for failing to maintain a consistent tone. The first five songs feature a slow, deliberate, almost ethereal tone. The mood is interrupted by the sixth song, "No More Extra Time," an up-tempo synth-pop song. The album's seventh song reverts to the mood of the first five; however, subsequent songs are progressively more pop-like than ambient.
