Sylver's U.S debut., August 1, 2006
It surprises me that it took an American label so long to release a Sylver Album domestically. Sylver is the better band in their genre. they are already on their fourth album in Europe. Their latest, Crossroads" was just released last month in Europe, so I'm a little confused as to why this album, which is almost two years old, was released in the USA instead of their most recent.
never the less, this is Sylver's strongest album. It is full of the trance-pop songs they are known for, as well as some gorgeous ballads and housey-dance songs. their is a variety of styles here. And they pull it off. one of my favorite songs here is "sympathy", which is the "i will survive" of the trance world. "make it", which was a single in Belgium, is very catchy, while different to their past singles.
here's hoping that something off this album makes a splash in America just as "turn the tide" did five years ago.

third time's the charm, December 27, 2004
This review is from: Nighttime Calls (Audio CD)
first things first. i beleive sylver, lasgo and milk inc are the best in their genre. it amazes me that sylver's releases are not released domestically. there are other euro trance bands that do have u.s labels but sylver is the best and they dont. what separates this album from others in this dance category is that it is so original. the combination of euro trance, ballads,pop and r&b vibe is just amazing.
i did prefer their second album, little things, to their first, chances. but i didnt think anything was a strong as "turn the tide",until now.
"take me back" and "sympathy" make you forget about anything you've heard before. just the most perfect vocal trance you can imagine. "sympathy" is the "i will survive" of the trance world.
their next single is "make it", which is kind of trippy, housey, electronic sounding. sounds like nothing sylver has recorded before.
another thing that makes this album shine is sylvie's vocals. she can sing anything. the proof is here. electronic dance music can be very cold. but sylie's vocals warm every track. i dont think i've ever heard a more beautiful ballad than "who am i". this is aband and cd that can take dance music to the top where it belongs, if given the chance to in america.
