I'll give you some feedback, but I'll warn you first that, while I generally don't like to leave negative feedback, this remix is just not good at all.

I've been a HUGE fan of Delerium and all Bill Leep/Rhys Fulber projects (e.g., FLA, Noise Unit, Equinox, Synesthaesia, etc.) for well over a decade now and this remix just made me cringe. First, geez, talk about sucking the soul out of a great song - where's the music? You left out all the beautiful chord changes, rhythmic elements, and organic elements (e.g., guitar, drones/chants) that make Silence, and most Delerium songs, so unique and enjoyable. Now, I have heard some decent remixes of this song done without many of those elements, but without some substantial music to back it up, it just falls flat on its face. Second, the vocal tracks that you used are just bad quality. Not sure where you got them from, but they're not the original and the lyrics aren't even correct. It also sounds like they were not time stretched or pitch-corrected appropriately and it left some bad artifacts. Third, the vocal tracks are waaaayyyyyy out of time in several places - sounds wretched.

So, to sum it up, slapping bad vocal tracks over uninspired drum loops and leaving it completely devoid of any musical elements yields a terrible remix. Sorry, I don't mean to sound cruel, but I have nothing good to say about this remix. Better luck next time.
