The Siket Disc is the tenth album by rock legends Phish. It was released in 1999 through the Phish web site and mailordering system, but did not hit stores until November 7, 2000 on Elektra Records. The album is almost completely instrumental ("Quadrophonic Toppling" is a triggered sample of Gordon's voice saying the song's title).
The Siket Disc borders on ambient music at times. Only the songs "My Left Toe" and "What's the Use?" were notably incorporated into setlists on a somewhat regular basis ("Quadrophonic Toppling" and "The Happy Whip and Dung Song" each made one live appearance), although imperceptibly at first, as they are almost always connected to a preceding song or jam.
The studio sessions for The Siket Disc would eventually produce Phish's album The Story of the Ghost as well.
