Beth Quist's best selling album to date, Silver blends traditional Middle Eastern music with Quist's own sensibilites to fantastic and sometimes startlingly beautiful effect. Unlike many world influenced artists who tend to bury their own personal point of view while exploring (and some would say, exploiting) other cultures' music, Quist includes her own perspective as a modern, Western woman and brings an exciting sense of tension and drama to the work. "Liquid Silver," is utterly gorgeous, subtle, lilting, unique—with Quist's lithe, four octave voice and a ney (a Middle Eastern flute) perfectly playing off one another, and "Grace" is a must hear: a goosebump-making track of cosmic scope and surreally beautiful vocals. "Stars" is the perfect example of Quist's ability to blend modern and ancient sounds within her own viewpoint, as is "Phoenix"—the echo-song of some nomadic tribe on another planet.
