ORIGINAL 1968 LP STILL SEALED
Kapp Records KS-3562
*********************************************************
Silver Apples are an American psychedelic electronic music duo from New York, composed of Simeon Coxe III, who performs as Simeon, on a primitive synthesizer of his own devising (also named The Simeon), and until his death in 2005, drummer Danny Taylor. The group was active between 1967 and 1969, before reforming in the mid 1990s. They 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 also underground dance music and indie rock of the 1990s.
They were signed to Kapp Records and released their first record, Silver Apples, in 1968, and from that released a single, " Oscillations," a song that Simeon has cited as the first song he had written. On the debut album, seven of the nine songs had lyrics by Stanley Warren (not Warren Stanley as incorrectly credited on the re-release of the 1997 MCA CD), including the group's signature song, " Oscillations." Warren, who subsequently became a published poet, met Simeon and Taylor at the Third Annual Avant Garde Arts Festival in 1968 in New York City, organized by Charlotte Moorman, who was famous as the "topless cellist". Soon after, Simeon became acquainted with Warren's early work, and set a poem, " MJ", to music as " Seagreen Serenades." Inspired by Simeon's interest, in the next few months Warren wrote the remaining six songs used on the " Silver Apples" album. Another song, " Gypsy Love," was used in the second album, " Contact." In recent performances, Simeon still plays some of his and Warren's works from the early days of Silver Apples.
