It's hard to imagine exactly where the Silver Apples took their influence from or the number of electronic bands they've influenced. The duo's combination of tribal rhythms, primitive synthesis and incantatory melodies is both catchy and hypnotic, calling to mind early Genesis, Joy Division and a slew of electronica artists including Moby and the Chemical Brothers. Silver Apples formed in 1967 out of the ashes of New York's Overland Stage Electric Band, which featured Dan Taylor on drums, Simeon on vocals and three guitarists. Regularly playing four sets a night at Cafe Wha? with a limited repertoire, the members of Overland often indulged themselves with extended guitar jams. One night Simeon plugged in an oscillator he'd borrowed from a friend and started filling the room with swooping, electronic sounds. The guitarists hated it, but Simeon was so thrilled he began a collection of oscillators and tape loop machines. One by one the guitarists quit, leaving just Simeon and Taylor. The two kept on playing together and soon Simeon gave birth to a homemade synthesizer which consisted of nine audio oscillators and 86 control switches. The one-of-a-kind instrument created everything from burbling bass tones to intergalactic bleeps and theremin-esque sweeps. In 1968 and 1969 Kapp Records released Silver Apples and Contact, both of which sold only minimally. Soon thereafter the band disappeared, but their cult following endured.

Ik ken oscilations van ze, best grappig maar zo denderend vind ik het niet.

Dat is van Laika, ook een leuke band, maar wat jaren en een oceaan verder.

(En Laika hebben ook eens een album gemaakt met dezelfde titel, blijkbaar.)
