Electronic Evocations: A Tribute to the Silver Apples [1996]

This tribute to the unique late-'60s electronic duo Silver Apples features 11 space rock and indie pop bands of the '90s who obviously have great empathy for where Silver Apples were coming from. This tribute was originally issued on vinyl. Simeon (half of Silver Apples) was surprised when he came across it in a NY record store. When he took it home and gave it a listen, he "was completely bowled over." And with good cause -- with performers including Windy & Carl and Third Eye Foundation, it's a great listen for those who enjoy the original Silver Apples' music. In 1996, this tribute was reissued on CD and, encouraged by the renewed interest and attention, Simeon revived the Silver Apples and returned to the studios. ~ Joslyn Layne, All Music Guide

SYD BARRETT FIRST TRIP

Silver Apples - Silver Apples & Contact [1994]

Contrasting the flowery psychedelic rock music of the late-1960s, the new york city-based Silver Apples created an avant-garde sound based on little more than a homemade synthesizer (named the Simeon after their lead singer - Simeon) and an extensive drumkit, originally played by Dan Taylor. They reformed in the 1990s, making new records and playing live again.

Silver Apples were one of the first groups to employ electronic music techniques extensively within a rock idiom, and their minimalistic style, with its pulsing, driving beat and frequently discordant modality, anticipated not only the experimental electronic music and krautrock of the 1970s, but underground dance music and indie rock of the 1990s as well.

Grupo formado en Nueva York en 1967 y compuesto por el percusionista Danny Taylor y primera voz Simeón , una extraña figura que desempeñó también un instrumento denominado el Simeón, presente en su primer trabajo homónimo en el año 1968. Este instrumento consistió en «nueve osciladores de audio y ochenta y seis controles manuales… Los bajos y los ritmos osciladores se tocan con las manos, los codos y las rodillas y los osciladores están bajo tocado con los pies «. A pesar de ser un registro totalmente novedoso - un ingenioso cacofonía de pitidos, zumbidos y tiempos - no tiene buena crítica y con muy malas ventas.
