The River is a set of six original tracks by Silver with digital download versions of the record containing four remixes of songs from the EP by acts such as Jacques Renault, Coyote, and Games. The River was released by label RVNG Intl. on October 12, 2010, to generally positive reviews from critics, some reviewers calling its more modern-sounding cuts to be the best of the entire record.
