I found a copy at Mod Lang in Berkeley (for all the bay folks).
I think I mentioned here before that I didn't like Silence 2 much at all.
It doesn't have any sort of an edge to it and seems like an extended drone.

The children are speaking Persian and not German. This comes from Atmo's
Persian background. On Silence 1 there is also some Persian music sampled
on the tracks Santur and Omid.

I don't think World Ambient lable is from Rising High, I think it's another
Namlook thing. I say this since the "Artist's Cut..." release was put out
by Namlook as a kind of protest to Rising High putting out "Defenitive Ambient
Collection 2" without his involvement or some other disagreement. I think
there was a law suit of some sort between Namlook and Rising High.
