The Silver label is still in existence. They did 
have a lull in their releases but they have a
batch of new releases coming soon including
a new Starfish Pool cd called Rituals for the
Dying, albums from new producers Okayama
& Global Systems Moving Silently, and vol
2 of the Real Music for Abstract People
compilations series.

Starfish Pool & Silver label owner Koen 
Lybaert has also recently started his own 
music distribution/mail order outlet. I've 
been getting his mailouts for about a 
month now. I dont have one handy here
at the office but i could post that info
when i get home if anybody is interested
in it.

I agree with S Alva about the Silver label's 
abstract techno brilliance. Their Lowground, 
Starfish Pool, Unit Moebius, & Minion releases 
as well as their Real Music for Abstract People 
comp still get a lot of listening rotation by me.
I personally dont have the RA-X, Rude 66 or 
the Holon albums but i've heard they are all 
excellent too. 

Just last month Silver Records revamped
there website. Check it out at:
http://www.silverrec.com/

Hope this helps.
