Record Store Day 2023

Electronic rock group formed in New York by percussionist Danny Taylor and lead vocalist Simeon. Initially active between 1967 and 1970, they reformed twice between 1996 and 1999, and from 2006 to 2016.
*Silver Apples* is an influential electronic rock group that emerged from the vibrant music scene of New York. Founded by percussionist Danny Taylor and lead vocalist Simeon, their unique sound combines elements of rock with experimental electronic music. Active during the late 1960s, *Silver Apples* gained a cult following for their innovative use of synthesizers and unconventional song structures.
With their groundbreaking self-titled debut album released in 1968, *Silver Apples* captivated audiences with hypnotic rhythms, psychedelic melodies, and mesmerizing vocals. Drawing inspiration from various genres such as krautrock and avant-garde, their music pushed boundaries and challenged traditional notions of what rock could be.

Band started by [a561819] a.k.a. [a97498] after [a83082]. Kember recruited new musicians [a210487], who had previously contributed guitar and keyboards to Sonic Boom's side of the final Spacemen 3 album [m31548] (1990) and [a486895] for the group Spectrum in 1991. Initial Spectrum releases carried on from the sound of late-period Spacemen 3, featuring conventional songs and a regular band. 1991's "How You Satisfy Me" single was an original composition by Kember and Formby reminiscent of 1960s garage bands, based as it was upon the Chip Taylor-penned pop hit "Can't Let Go". 1992's "Soul Kiss (Glide Divine)" debut album was split between songs and longer experimental pieces featuring drones and repetition. Another single from the album, a cover version of Daniel Johnston's "True Love Will Find You In The End" reached number 70 on the UK singles charts. Formby departed the band as soon as the album was released and Stout left not long after. 'Highs, Lows and Heavenly Blows' (1994) featured a new line-up including former Spacemen 3 bass player [a423090] ([a493991]), was also mainly song-oriented. Since 1996 the Spectrum name has been used for Kember's solo work, sometimes with Bain and with recording engineer / musician [a309805]. The music made with Bain and Hardy was often in the same vein as [a90418] (E.A.R.), reflecting an increased interest in vintage analogue synthesizers, especially those made by EMS. After issuing 1997's "Forever Alien" album, there were no further releases of new material under the Spectrum moniker until the [m1716485] collaboration with [a135966] in 2008. Kember has also worked with [a70669]'s [a324158]. During 2008-11, a four-piece Spectrum toured extensively in America and Europe. This included providing main support for the 2008 reformation tour of [a6516], and a performance at the [l251341] festival in May 2011.

Pete Kember (Sonic Boom/Spacemen 3) and Simeon Coxe of legendary '60s electronic innovators Silver Apples came together to create this brilliant EP in 1998. It was released the following year on Space Age recordings.
 The numerous electronic instruments and oscillators used by Pete and Simeon invoke a timelessly purist electronic aesthetic, occasionally augmented by the presence of additional musicians Will Carruthers, Iain Worrall and Alf Hardy, who add bass, drums and yet more layers of electronics to the mix 
 Now, to mark 25 years after its inception, this highly lauded and sought after recording is being repressed in 180g heavyweight silver vinyl.
