133.0. "The Silencers" by 45384::IBL (an Electric Monk on a bored horse) Thu Jun 30 1988 12:35

    
    All the talk in the Hippy topic about The Bible set me thinking
    about another band that have "come to the fore" at least on national
    radio.  Does anyone have any info on The Silencers?  I understand
    that two albums exist, as well as the current single "Painted Moon".
    I have the CD version of "Painted Moon" which has the 7" single
    release, plus the Blues Mix of same, and two extra tracks "A Letter
    From St. Paul", and "Here Comes The Train", both of which are 
    instrumentals (and very good ones at that).  Are these tracks to
    be found on either of the albums?  Any help would be appreciated.

      I've only just started using Vax -Notes,if you want a ggod album
    buy The Silencers most recent one A Blues For Buddha.
                       I just love the single " Answer Me"

    	Just noticed this topic, sorry for not replying earlier Ian,
    	both versions on 'Painted Moon' are on the 'Letter from St
    	Paul' CD, the title track is mainly instrumental, but with
    	a girl reading the letter in question on top.
    
    	I'll check up on the other track this evening.

         Has anyone come across the release of the third LP from The
    Silencers?  I came upon a CD single w/3 cuts about 4 months back.  It
    contained a 'new' single, reportedly from a forthcoming LP, an
    instrumental piece, and a 'live' rendition of a previously available
    song.  Often there can be as much as a 6 month delay between the UK,
    and US release dates.

    re -1.
    
    The Silencers released their 3rd album "Dance to The Holy Man" over 2
    years ago.Their 4th album called "Seconds of Pleasure" was released
    back in about May of this year,following the release of their only
    single this year "I Can Feel It",which is on the album.As far as I know
    that is the only material that has been released in the last 18 months
    or so.I'm not sure of the tracks that were on "I Can Feel It" single
    cd.
        The albums so far are :
    
  1.  A letter to St Paul
  2.  Blues for Bhudda
  3.  Dance to the Holy Man
  4.  Seconds of Pleasure
    
    
	As for forthcoming concerts,they play Glasgow Barrowlands on Friday
    the 12th of November,and if I find out the other tour dates,I'll pass
    them on.

         Thanks Andy,
    
         The overwhelming complexities of the "new" math have again betrayed me.
    You're quite right, I WAS refering to the fourth LP.  However, as I did
    observe, this music has yet to be released in the States, and these
    arbitrary delays in distribution continue to mystify/frustrate me.
    
         slan,
         Kevin
