Silenced is the sixth full-length studio album by The Black Dog released in 2005 on CD.

It harks back to Black Dog's debut Bytes, a record that remains a landmark album in electronic music's development.

My idea was to create something that you could come home to after you'd just been to a club or gig, that would start at the right pace and then just wind down into a great album and just chill out.

The main connection is that we both had an interest in internet bulletin board systems and punk.

I used to run a bulletin board with an old style modem and communication and information file exchange and hacking and stuff, so right from the beginning I've always been talking to Ken, about that, about music, about everything really.
