Description
Silver Apples
Contact
Format: LP
Record Label: Rotorelief
Condition: New (this is a brand new copy, but I removed the plastic, took pictures, which you can see above, put it in a plastic sleeve and separated the record to prevent seam splits during shipping)
- Reissue of their great 2nd album - numbered edition on silver and black swirl vinyl (this copy is #299 of 1000) - silver gatefold sleeve - originally released in 1969
- Formed in 1967 as a psychedelic electronic duo featuring Dan Taylor on drums and Simeon on a 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."
- Aside from Simeon's use of a banjo on a couple of tracks, the music on Contact does not differ from that of their debut. One aspect improved upon was the lyrics; many possess the same "cosmic" element found on Silver Apples, but others are full of bitterness, pain, paranoia, and confusion. In turn, the lead oscillator is used to greater effect, reflecting this newfound intensity. Simeon, who composed the text for five of Contact's ten songs (he framed one song on Silver Apples, "Dancing Gods"), was largely responsible for this change. (Bart Bealmear)
