SILVER APPLES
Silver Apples
1997 U.S. Remastered CD reissue
I usually don’t buy too many CDs nowadays, but when you see something this cool, you gotta grab it.
This CD compilation combines BOTH of the first two Silver Apples albums: the self-titled debut, and the equally as great Contact.
Awesome and weird late-60s electronic music that was WAY ahead of its time.
Pulsing, droning tones made entirely from oscillators made by Simeon Coxe himself.
NO KEYBOARDS.
Minimal, repetitive, hypnotic… long before every Kraut and his mother were doing it. It’s a bit of a cold, interstellar kind of psych music, and it set the table for a lot of genres; #synthpop , #industrial music, #electronica … all of it.
The band SUICIDE gets a lot of credit, but maybe it’s Silver Apples that should have gotten the same flowers and parades.
If you don’t know it, do these visionaries a favor and lend them your ears.
Great little set.
