Rotorelief present a reissue of
Silver Apples
' self-titled debut, originally released in 1968. First album of the '60s NY duo Silver Apples, remastered and boosted with the texture and feeling of 1968 original.
Simeon
sailing heavily treated oscillator sounds over drummer
Danny Taylor
's unrelenting beats. homemade synthesizer consisting of 12 oscillators (and an assortment of sound filters, telegraph keys, radio parts, lab gear and a variety of second-hand electronic junk), Silver Apples quickly gained a reputation as New York's leading underground musical expression. Their pulsating rhythmic beats with the use of electronics laid the groundwork for what would become "Krautrock" silver.
"
By 1967, the
Overland Stage Electric Band
was teetering on its last legs. The New York City five-piece had found some success playing covers of straight-ahead rock 'n' roll at gigs in the East Village, but tensions within the group were steadily tearing them apart. The lead singer,
Simeon Coxe III
, had gotten his hands on a vintage '40s audio oscillator and was insisting that it become a part of the show. The rest of the band was understandably upset - this was more than a decade before electronic music would become an accepted practice. Before long, the band was down to two members, Simeon, and drummer
Danny Taylor
. Now with full control, the two members re-christened themselves the Silver Apples and set about releasing one of history's great forgotten albums, their self-titled debut.
Silver Apples
is a record that reached far ahead of its time. It's not surprising then, in a year when the airwaves were still dominated by Motown and the
Beatles
(whose experimentation was tame by comparison), that it failed to garner much of an audience. Even now, nearly 40 years later, the record sounds fresh and unconventional - in 1968 there simply wasn't anything else like it.
