    Silver Wilkinson is a more streamlined yet enjoyably disparate record.

    Even with some of its more unpredictable moments, Silver Wilkinson offers a scenic route through Bibio's music that showcases its depth as well as its breadth.

    His music appears to be the stuff of mid-morning TV interludes and inconsequential memories, yet it ends up plumbing great depths.

    The gentle kisses on Silver are preferable to its contemporary teeth; the thumpy, funky aphasia of “You” harks back to days when Bibio could have been mistaken for a Prefuse 73 knockoff--it just sounds dated.

    If Silver Wilkinson is supposed to be a journey, it sounds like Mr. Wilkinson got a little lost along the way.

    Silver Wilkinson is a solid return to (mostly) familiar, territory.

    Going organic may have its advantages, but for Stephen Wilkinson it's a move that doesn't come naturally. [Jun-Jul 2013, p.86]
