Silver Monk Time is a tribute album inspired by the German-American beat band the Monks. It also serves as the soundtrack to Monks: The Transatlantic Feedback, a 2006 documentary film about the band. The record was produced and compiled by the filmmakers, Dietmar Post and Lucia Palacios, and released in October 2006 on the Play Loud! Productions label.
The official record release was part of a major event at Volksbühne theater in Berlin, Germany. In conjunction with the film's premiere, the Monks performed their first live show in Germany for almost 40 years. They were joined on stage by some of the musicians featured on the album, including The Raincoats, Mark E. Smith of The Fall, Peter Hein of Fehlfarben, and Schorsch Kamerun of Goldene Zitronen.
