Description
Often sampled electronic pop pioneers the Silver Apples released two exceptionally influential, off-kilter records in 1968 and '69, then apparently vanished. The group was formed in New York City in the psychedelic heyday of 1967 by drummer Danny Taylor and proto-synth player Simeon, who quaintly named his hand-built synth instrument the Simeon. Taylor was a powerhouse of polyphony and his looping, loping playing is the engine that drives the Apples' experimental music, characterized by snippets of found sound, weird and warbly high-pitched singing, stray banjos, and--most importantly--the battering, buzzing, bleeping beauty of the Simeon synth. The two albums are a bizarre, sincere mixture of avant-garde sensibilities, pop melodies, folk-psyche song structures, overwrought poetry, and hefty percussion. It is difficult-to-describe, signature music that ranks high alongside the most forward-thinking avant-prog. They were active between 1967-1969. Acid Archives has review. The lead off ‘Oscillations’ is a fantastic slice of minimal electronic pop way before the genre ever took shape. ‘Program’ is another amazing minimal synth gem that was way ahead of its time, wow. ‘Whirly-Bird’ is a fast paced electro freak out.
