I've got quite a few silent digests, and realized that I really missed the audio aspect of film. So, I started getting mostly sound, and also full features.
Well, one of the features was Cabinet of Dr Caligari. Since it was silent, but had live accompaniment when projected, I thought I'd find a Caligari soundtrack I could play as I project it. This led me to all of the people who have tried OTHER music, sort of like Dark Side of the Moon with Wizard of Oz. Now all of the sudden, I see a huge opportunity with the silent digests.
Does anyone have any unique combinations that are interesting or work really well? I've got a nice recording made specifically for Caligari that I'm going to try, as well as trying Radiohead's Kid A.

Jeff - Although I cannot give you any specific suggestions, I recently transferred,fairly crudely, my silent home movies to Dvd. Once they were in the computer, I got the running time, picked a number of tracks with the same running time and saw which one was the best, then used that over the film. Hey presto! It actually works out much better than you think it would, and it looks quite professional that the sound and vision starts and finishes together. Give it a try and see what you think.
