Music reviews of Silver Apples / Contact
Music Review: Way up on my list of favorite albums.
Rating: 5 Stars
It's easy to miss the unique, and intellegent nature behind this music the first couple times you listen to these albums. As soon as you listen to it several times, and become more attentive to all the noises, improvisation, and beats you begin to really appreciate what these guys created.
Contact is by far my favorite album by Silver Apples, it's also the cd that has an edgier sound to it.
With songs like the beautiful "I Have Known Love", the tastefully different "Confusion", and "Ruby" which both have a Banjo part that is light and complimentary to their signature sound. Then there's my favorite song "Fantasies". I am a complete sucker for great drumming, which is one of the reasons I love this entire cd so much, but the drumming in the song "Fantasies" makes for a very powerful, intense, and infectious song. Plus with Simeon guiding Danny, and the random lyrics it somehow tops everything off and makes this song pop out to me the most.
The Self titled part of this album is also so wonderful. Still holds great drumming, but the songs have a lighter vibe to them. Both cds in this album balance each other out very nicely, without one having more of a "Silver Apples" sound than the other.
"Dancing Gods" is another song that has that intense drumming. Although the drumming has a more tribal style to it, which sounds amazing, Cause Danny is great at pulling off so many different drumming styles.
The ocsillation part in "Lovefingers" are very fun, with great drumming styles lightly playing in the background with the bass ocsillators.
Overall I would recommend this album to any open minded music fan/musician/ect. Any creative drummers need to own this album. Silver Apples has such an amazing sound and style that, today, sounds ahead of time.
Description of Silver Apples / Contact
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.Oft-sampled electronic pop pioneers the Silver Apples released two exceptionally influential, off-kilter records in 1968 and '69, then apparently vanished. The group was formed in New York City in the psychedelic heyday of 1967 by drummer Danny Taylor and protosynth player Simeon, who quaintly named his hand-built instrument the Simeon. Taylor was a powerhouse of polyphony and his looping, loping playing is the engine that drives the Apples' experimental music, characterized by snippets of found sound, weird and warbly high-pitched singing, stray banjos, and--most importantly--the battering, buzzing, bleeping beauty of the Simeon synth. The two albums are a bizarre, sincere mixture of avant-garde sensibilities, pop melodies, folk-psyche song structures, overwrought poetry, and hefty percussion. It is difficult-to-describe, signature music that ranks high alongside the most forward-thinking avant-prog. The group got back together in the mid-'90s, spurred on by the enthusiasm that many acts showed for their music (the group has been name-checked and more by Spacemen 3, Low, and Stereolab). But as is often the case, the reunion records just don't quite cut it--this one CD has everything you need. Lazy electronic musicians are encouraged to sample the heck out of this band; you won't be the first. --Mike McGonigal
