SILVER APPLES Oscillations & Seagreen Serenades

[mobyboy]

thanks god there is a legal drug ! in shape of an apple

[gnowave]

any band able to tune into playing on psychedelix can be called "ahead of their time", but in that "zone" there IS no time, repetative trance has been with us since we learned we had voices and could bang two rocks together... if anything these guys were part of the doorway into re-opening that trance dance vine... and like the guys above i am actually SHOCKED i have never heard of them before either... brilliant, simple honest psychedelia

[LanceHelmut]

silver apples + tangerine dream = radiohead...try out "hear come the warm jets". by eno...david bowie "low"..and joy division...all you fans of "post this" and "post that" .

[spherical23]

@LanceHelmut silver apples = stereolab ;)

[fretboardyoda]

I's never heard of them, until about 1999? but I am sure glad I finally did, incredible, so far out it staggers belief, but still with strong melodies!

[daboe0909]

Sounds a little bit like Cream...

[dvanbeever]

Sounds like Portishead ripped this one completely!....check out "We Carry On" from Portishead 3

[xinjinbei]

@dvanbeever

Yes, it's a tribute which was apparently approved by Silver Apples, since they played a cover of "We Carry On" live.

[raceyboy]

@dvanbeever Check out the United States Of America as well, if you dig that 60's electronic Portishead sound.

[afrikablize]

cewl, tracklist?

[fendertaylor101]

So Joy Division

[beatrixkiddofof]

@fendertaylor101 first check out album realese dates

[Countrychiddler]

Apples gave birth to Yellow Magic Orchestra and T. Dream. They opened a show for Hendrix that I went to in '69.

[mobile513]

@Countrychiddler

Really? Could you tell me more about it? I'd love to know what it was like to be there.

[Countrychiddler]

@Countrychiddler I was about 20 and got my first taste of synths with Apples. Mesmerizing throbbing electronic rythyms. Hendrix was ripping notes outa the sky and doing incredible acrobatic shit with his strat.

[charlenesoraia]

KA BLARRRRRR..... YES SILVER APPLES... YEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX­XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[kevtyrrell]

You know...if you told me some techno producer like Joey Beltram or Dave Clarke had produced this...I'd have totally believed you!!! Just amazing production and all totally analogue and real time performed too...no sequencers or electronic filters. Just breath taking really, :o)

[GuyGonzo]

I knew when I bought my waterbed in the early '70s that the salesman's name (Danny Taylor) was the same as SA's drummer but I had never seen a picture of him and didn't mention it. Then I got the "Contact" lp and I said (to myself) "That's the guy that sold me my waterbed!".

[igadoatemporal]

3 people went trippysick

._.

[sortabli]

what a wonder...

[BathoryRequiem]

What the hell is that ?

[ElectricMusicNeed]

there was a time when record companies put out experimental music that kicked ass. now it all sucks because of supposedly hip ceo's that are know-nothing yuppies.

[sydfan526]

can't get enough of Oscillations! I especially like that oscillating wave-sound that kicks in around 01:58. Also like the non-boring drum beat.  awesome.

[radioheadkids2]

Mind blowing!

[taigaro8]

THIS SOUNDS BETTER

[kishbot]

I hear a bit of tool in here for sure, well rather the other way around of course.

[TheCyberbedouin]

electro rock,electro house dubstep or shitstep...

listen this text from Oscillations!

[clumpft]

Silver apples > Suicide > no-wave artists from NYC. Funny how music progresses.

[portabletiger]

@clumpft As much as I love and respect Suicide and most No Wave bands, I'm with you 100% on this!

[animula88]

@clumpft I think Suicide and Silver Apples are equals- Suicide had more emotional depth than Silver Apples even if they weren't as innovative musically. This is easy listening compared to Rocket USA or Frankie Teardrop.

[NymphZoic68]

@kosmischesynth, ..East coast man! ...Spacemaaaan!

[raphaelalmeida]

Great dig in the earth!!!

[kosmischesynth]

wow, west coast maaaan, and yet it's tight as hell and obviously thinks it was made in a 90s home-studio.

[floralwaters]

My first thought was PRINCE must have been inspired by them.

[bobgreen623]

I just heard Silver Apples for the first time today, thanks to Spotify mainly. Utterly fantastic, all those old oscillators and stuff. Totally hypnotic, ancient futurism, planet tribalism

[keesvangelis]

good good good !!!!

[hashiepashi]

I've gone from Suicide to Silver Apples.. Coool. haha

[mobile513]

@hashiepashi

UP-GRAAAADE!!

[Smeerlappen]

Play loud as it suppose to

[motherbrain86]

am i the only who notcies that seagreen serenades kind of goes down a key at very end from f sharp to f natural

[lasfinisimas]

Cant believe this band sooo ahead of its time, sooo underated. I love em

[natnic1]

Ohhhh my braaaaiiin

[shweetshtuff21]

I am surprised I have never heard of Silver Apples. I just checked out a couple of their songs and can see that they were ahead of their time. I can see how they influenced a lot of music.

[spacepatrolman]

@shweetshtuff21 good beat for dancing or mind expanding

[Weirdsville13]

i feel some fchemical brother's groove in the song "seagreen serenades",particulary in the beginning , its strange...

[DieSchwartzmann]

I suppose his voice is similar to Jim Morrison, but the rest is 100% original for its time. I can't believe this band is so little known. So timeless.

[homonculus9]

Dynamic Duo.

[djsmithy]

spine tingling.

[tristianity4u]

Way ahead of it's time...

[sonicjay007]

Always Spellbinding

[mobyboy]

so fresh and bald, even for today.

they actually invented the groove

[maruzha]

great, great, great!!

[robodoll]

i bought 2 copies of this in 1970 for the grand some of 3 for $1.00 at Woolworths in Long Beach. whatever became of great cut out bins???

[waylo4526]

very nice indeed

[d3p3ch3mod3]

reminds me a lot of portishead.. hell this could definitely be a portishead song if it was a female singer

[roblegit1212]

Put two and two together my friend.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

it's a cover?

[poppyallgood]

"We Carry On," off Portishead's (excellent) 'Third' record sounds like a direct homage to this classic group--with a touch of Joy Division thrown in for good measure.

[xtopper235]

I thought the very same thing first time I heard that song off the newest Portishead! Always nice to see others have the same idea.

[bump1bump2]

These two songs are my favorites on the CD!

[butheadVSbevus]

I love the silver apples thanks for posting !
