This third full-length recording by Mt. Zion finds the band continuing to work as a six-piece, with various guests on drums & a couple dozen folks on choral duty. The core personnel remains Efrim (guitar, piano, tapes, effects, vocals), Thierry (bass), Sophie (violin), Beckie (cello), Ian (guitar), & Jessica (violin). The amateur choir assembled for the 'fasola' sing-along on the opening track sets the tone for an exuberant community-rallying protest music that constitutes the spiritual foundation of the record.

Wow, this album is pretty amazing. Just like Godspeed, each songs builds slowly and beautifully and packs quite an emotional punch. The extended violin in and guitar work in track 1 is breathtaking, and then the drums kick in! Some parts of a couple tracks drone on a bit, but, hey, when you're willing to experiment like Silver mt zion, some stuff doesn't work for everyone, but these rare lulls are well worth it given the overall beauty of the album.
