As a young boy, I fell in love with the music of the Silver Apples. I have an original (vinyl) copy of their first album. I was 15 when it dropped in '68. It's one of my prized musical possessions.
@@InfiniteGrenades Back in the 60s there was a radio station in Philadelphia called WIBG FM. No DJs... just programmed music. They played mostly psychedelic rock featuring bands such as Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Iron Butterfly, Blue Cheer, etc. Silver Apples was in pretty heavy rotation.

I just happened to find both originals of these Silver Apples albums on vinyl in a thrift store record bin yesterday.

This is a cult band that lots of music heads have known about for a while (same with Neu, Cluster, Can, Jean Jacques Perry, pre-Autobahn Kraftwerk). Just seemed to stay within certain circles. This is what I love about RUclips, anybody can stumble upon great shit a lot easier.
The band that Simeon and Danny Taylor left was called The Random Concept, which had been based in the northwest corner of Connecticut, where I was living in the late nineties. Their guitarist was Jake Bell, who was part of a circle of friends with my girlfriend and me at the time. In 1996 one of those friends was in New York and saw a delivery truck that said 'The Random Concept' on the side. She ran up to the driver in the truck and asked, "Are you Simeon?" and he said yes. She told him how huge the Silver Apples had become and then he started his own label, Whirlybird, to release new and old Silver Apples recordings, and music related to the band. He and Jake then met up again after many years, and in 1998 Jake released an album of his own music on the label. I was the coproducer of that album and cowrote and performed on that record, and the whole experience was absolutely surreal. Jake recruited another former bandmate to join us on the record on drums. It was Gary Higgins, who had recorded and released his cult classic, solo album, 'Red Hash' in 1973. What were the chances? It really was a magical time. Thank you Simeon. For all the brilliant music, and art, and connections, and memories.
capitalism is an illness. that illness destroys everything lively and beautiful and in our age we can even see it destroying the planet's climate system.
ironic joke about a recent plane crash? be as thick skinned as you want but come on, of course they got flack for that. it just wasn't a smart move. i would have liked to see an explanation for why they did that though, not much was offered.
@Sarah Wilson Pan-Am is still a registered trademark. So there may still be legal repercussions for using the logo on the cover. Safe idea would be to airbrush Pan-Am out of the pic.
I had the pleasure of opening for SA twice in the last 10 years. Simeon was a lovely, humble bloke and he even told me he loved my stuff which was so much of a compliment for me that i didn't believe it lol. He used to have all these amazing modular synths onstage and I only ever used my shitty little drum machine and an old Yamaha PSR 3 amongst other things. I couldn't believe a guy like Simeon would compliment a young noob like me, but that was just the kind of guy he was. He encouraged people and saw things in their art that they weren't able to see in themselves. I remember the last show I did with them in Stereo in Glasgow, and one of my mates was backstage and managed to get an interview with Simeon for The Wire magazine I believe. They talked for an hour while I got high and drank beer. Simeon seemed really tired. When it came time to leave we walked him up to their transport and said our goodbyes. As they drove off my friend turned to me and said "I bet thats the last time we see him" and he was right. SA were a huge inspiration for me growing up. I remember discovering them in a record store (remember them?!) when i was a teen and the internet was in its infancy. It absolutely melted my melon when i found out it was from the 60s. Ill never forget excitedly throwing the record on for my friends while we sat in the dark smoking hashish. SA moved everyone i showed it to, some people were like "wtf is this?!" and others just melted into the sound. I think in another 50 years we will see just how inspirational Simeon and co were truly. Simeon and SA are the reason I continue to make time for music well into my 30s. The reason I still enjoy the deep diving into experimentation. Not to mention, putting anything from that SA record on a DJ set or my wee radio show always pricks someone who hasn't heard it before's ears up. Long live Simeon, and long live Silver Apples!
Im an old school UK based indie head and these guys actually were kinda big amongst the more "muso" indie types back in the 90s. You'd often hear a DJ spin some Silver Apples tunes in amongst the other psyche stuff in the back room at the end of an indie night.
That sounds so cool, like so authentic, sometimes I wanna be in those eras, when all's well. Indie now is like all that bedroom pop shit, fucking homogenous and boring asf.
@@marcusantonius6683 Indie pop back then was generic shit too. Only the shit that's lowest common denominator gets noticed because that's what's likely to sell.
I saw A24’s movie Civil War today and GASPED as I heard Lovefingers by Silver Apples playing in a scene, really fitting and kinda unnerving. Crazy small world!
I first heard Silver Apples playing over the sound system in a now defunct rock bar and was blown away when the owner told me the album was from the late 60s. Absolutely mental how ahead of their time they were
@@ereristark425 i still have no idea... they refused to tell me why... No warnings ... Just gone one day..... Any songs I used of others for dance or covered on acoustic had the proper credits placed... So it wasnt copyright... Truly... I'm a watcher and commenter of things revealing the gov to be quite evil... Thats what I can only assume they didnt like...
Actually in this case it could be argued that capitalism killed art. It could also be argued that by agreeing to put the PanAm logo on their album...they sold out. No disrespect towards Silver Apples but this wasn’t a clear case of censorship for censorship’s sake.
Nice to see that young generation rediscover Silver Apples... There was also an album of Morton Subotnick “Silver Apples of the Moon” from July 1967 that utilised a very early Buchla 100 synthesiser, which actually Morton Subotnick helped Don Buchla to build. Lot’s of Silver Apples in the 1960’s ;)
1:55 I have that same model of oscillator (signal generator) in my repair shop. I still use it to repair audio amplifiers. Didn't know it was that old!
Jim actually "predicted" music would be more electronic in the future rather than actual traditional voices and instruments. I'm not really a huge fan of it myself I like a classic rock sound still. Just as I would prefer seeing a live gig rather than just dance at a disco with some dj.
Got to meet the Simean in 1998 when he played in Portland. We took a picture and he gave me a copy of his new album, since I was too young to get in to the club. I was 18.
According to Wikipedia, the band the Silver Apples AND the album by Morton Subotnick called "The Silver Apples of the Moon" BOTH took their names from "The Song of Wandering Aengus," an 1897 poem by Irish poet W. B. Yeats. Both the Silver Apples and Subotnick were active in NYC at about the same time. Coincidence or what?
Unreal! You found the Silver Apples. They opened for jethro Tull's first US performance at they Boston Tea Party. A Dayglo dungeon in Boston. I was 17 and my mind was blown forever! Great stuff.
They went into the studio to record an album and the engineer was so afraid of one of their musical instruments? Are you saying actual fear kept this man out of the studio?
Look up Raymond Scott. He was largely considered a jazz musician, and his piece, Powerhouse, is famously sampled by Carl Stalling in the Looney Tunes cartoons. However, his experimental work using early, archaic electronic instruments, is certainly way, way ahead of its time.
Raymond Scott worked with Bob Moog on a synthesizer he called the Clavivox, but Scott never finished it. I believe that synth still exists and is being restored.
A lovely story. You should mention they called themselves Silver Apples after Morton Subotnik’s Silver Apples of The Moon, a classic of early electronic music and in turn lifted from a WB Yeats’ poem The Wandering of Aengus, “...the silver apples of the moon, the golden apples of the sun...”
Saw them (well Simeon) around 1996 in a loft in Montreal. I got to tell him they were years ahead of their time and actually anticipated house and techno. Simeon signed my record and told me if I saw Dan Taylor to tell him he was looking for him!
@@Ryan-wx8of cause they are old... I promise you that when some of the kids that use social media become the powerful they will know how to silence people.
I supported SA last time he was in town a few years ago. He is super old now but is still out there playing shows with his cool AF semi modular setup. Im just a lowly electronic weirdo myself, but simeon was the nicest, most supportive guy of his calibre that ive met in music, next to the dude from Faust, who I also opened for, who gave me a t shirt and smoked some of my weed. It's gonna be a sad day when Simeon leaves us, but I think he's got a lot more left in him yet.
This is slightly off topic, but re: the band Suicide, Bruce Springsteen, who is a contemporary of theirs and most likely saw Suicide perform - has a song or two on his Nebraska album which were heavily influenced by their sound.
RIP Simeon. I watched this video only to discover he passed away 2 weeks ago. A little less than 5 months after this video was posted. This video makes me so sad. Not only are they both gone now, but over 80% of their recordings have also been lost. The bulk of it burned up in 2008.
I highly recommend the Silver Apples music as well as United States of America and Suicide. But I really don't understand how they failed to foresee that Pan Am would object to the picture on the back combined with their logo on the front.
I'm realizing what a different time it was in 1968 vs 1978. The music industry hated controversy. Getting busted with weed was a death sentence. Zappa had his career put on pause because of an obscenity charge. Rick James was blacklisted because of his draft dodger status. But then, a decade later, you get the Sex Pistols and suddenly all press is good press.
@@Bandsplaining It was a different time, sure, but I don't think that kind of thing would fly even now. (pun intended) Can you imagine if the front cover was a Starbucks shop and the back cover was the remains of the same shop blown up by a bomb? They'd have the same reaction and be rightfully pissed. It was a terrible attempt at being edgy and resulted in only cringe.
Is this the same band that my friend showed me 20 years ago? I thought they were called 'Apple' and could never find any evidence of them existing due to the computer company of the same name. He said they were one of the first to use electronic stuff.... back in the day. At any rate, good vid!
their Drummer Must be the Godfather of Trance Great work from you by spreading the word of the cool band. At least they both survived long enough to be truly appreciated & how one is still at it❤️😃🐢👽
Fortunately someone here in Gothenburg had the good sense to book the remaining Silver Apple for a concert not too long ago and publicize it just enough. It was a real treat, as you'd expect. Never thought I'd get to hear it live.
PLEASE do a video about White Noise! They were doing electronic music around the same time if not earlier and they have a super interesting story. Their album took a couple of years to produce because they put every tiny tape sample together manually. It's CRAZY. It's very of its time but also still ahead of the times. They're one of my favorites, I would love to see you talk about them. Their album is called "An Electric Storm"
Exactly. I literally said "oh my god...🤦♀️" when they showed the back cover. I guess it was a different time back then and they thought it was no big deal lmao.
There's a lot of harsh album covers out there. What made this one controversial was simply the logo being exposed and Pan Am not realizing their intentions of using the back photo. They could of used a pic with no logo. Yeah too bad they didn't talk about the consequences before following through with their choice.
Man you people genuinely disturb me. You have no understanding of what youre actually talking about. Censorship is a disease. You truely see this art as some distasteful edgy trash, then fine, i thinks thats a ridiculous take, but you have your opinions. But acting like it shouldn't be allowed is outrageous.
@@CheshireCad if you honestly think this art was made with the same juvenile, edgy, motivation of just getting a reaction or offending people, as "its just a prank bro", i think you're being naive and ridiculous. First of all i dont think the image is offensive at all, but even if you find it offensive that does not mean thats the only emotional response it can provoke, and just because it holds not emotional or artistic value to you doesnt mean it cant for others. If you dont enjoy it thats fine, but you have no right to invalidate others appreciation for it
when I was a teen I listened to the Contact album and really dug it.....This documentary and it's photo of the album cover allowed me to rediscover this wild sound....now I know what to look for. Thanks for the "blast from the past" that let me spot this album again.
Electronic music. The greatest and most diverse music there is imho. Literally no boundries and the only genre that keeps inventing itself over and over again! 🙂🙏🏼
@@user-rc4re5fo2f Thats true for some styles perhaps.. But the fresh deeper stuff isnt just recycling my man. Boundaries are limitless! And the fact that electronic music keeps better and more advanched, is due computer technique and software whats getting better and way more dynamic etc etc..
@@user-rc4re5fo2f lol, It's the most diverse by definition, hence it takes such a long time to explore all the possibilities. 'Human' means nothing, since everything's a human creation, including the electronic devices themselves. Hypnotism and mechanicality are just another of possible forms of expression. And since the dawn of civilization music was, in 99,99% of the cases, about recycling and replaying existing themes.
Giorgio Moroder took this and mastered it into what we know as electronic music, electronic artists today are still copying bits from his music and making it into their own. Impressive to hear the roots of where it all began!
I love how you described the artwork as "Banksy style" when It has been speculated that one half of the trip-hop duo Massive Attack (3D) is Banksy. It would make perfect sense if he got musical and visual inspiration from Silver Apples to make experimental music and artwork.
Great video. I'm so glad you mentioned United States of America. Such an underrated band. Check out Fifty Foot Hose as well!! Their Cauldron album is fantastic, and recorded in 67' with lots of synths and weird sounds.
Here after Civil War used Lovefingers in the opening. Amazing how both Silver Apples and Suicide were featured in that movie. I wonder if you're video maybe influenced Alex Garland's choice of both of these bands being in the movie.
That would be an incredible ego boost 😅😅. But I reckon the two bands are just commonly linked because Silver Apples was extremely influential to Suicide, and the only “biography” of Silver Apples was a chapter in the Suicide memoir. A man can dream tho…
Kraut Rock Can and still is amazing to this day. Kraftwerk, Radiohead all techno / house hip hop but these guys were 50 years ahead of their time. I used to say the same about CAN when I found them in the 80's. Arcade Fire and other pop/ rock bands sounds like them. What a find. digging it. Literally found these guys 15 minutes ago. They influenced generations of music. As a DJ I'm embarassed I never had heard of them and Im 50 years old.
That "WW2 oscillator" is called a voltage controlled oscillator. VCO's are used to output oscillating electric fields with a frequency dependent on an input DC voltage. They're at the heart of many fundamental electronics designs that make modern telecommunications tech possible.

capitalism is an illness. that illness destroys everything lively and beautiful and in our age we can even see it destroying the planet's climate system.

ironic joke about a recent plane crash? be as thick skinned as you want but come on, of course they got flack for that. it just wasn't a smart move. i would have liked to see an explanation for why they did that though, not much was offered.

@Sarah Wilson Pan-Am is still a registered trademark. So there may still be legal repercussions for using the logo on the cover. Safe idea would be to airbrush Pan-Am out of the pic.

CAN - the band CAN they are from the 60s, a German experimental rock band with a Japanese front man. They are awesome and ahead of their time
Rach Rach love CAN
And other German kraut-rock bands like Neu!, Faust and well...Kraftwerk
I'm a huge fan of CAN and so is my 8 year old son. They got him startet on the drums.
Discovered can in an episode of the Preacher, they are so underrated
damo suzuki was only the vocalist for 3 albums (the best 3 tho lol)
I had the pleasure of opening for SA twice in the last 10 years. Simeon was a lovely, humble bloke and he even told me he loved my stuff which was so much of a compliment for me that i didn't believe it lol. He used to have all these amazing modular synths onstage and I only ever used my shitty little drum machine and an old Yamaha PSR 3 amongst other things. I couldn't believe a guy like Simeon would compliment a young noob like me, but that was just the kind of guy he was. He encouraged people and saw things in their art that they weren't able to see in themselves.
I remember the last show I did with them in Stereo in Glasgow, and one of my mates was backstage and managed to get an interview with Simeon for The Wire magazine I believe. They talked for an hour while I got high and drank beer. Simeon seemed really tired. When it came time to leave we walked him up to their transport and said our goodbyes. As they drove off my friend turned to me and said "I bet thats the last time we see him" and he was right.
SA were a huge inspiration for me growing up. I remember discovering them in a record store (remember them?!) when i was a teen and the internet was in its infancy. It absolutely melted my melon when i found out it was from the 60s. Ill never forget excitedly throwing the record on for my friends while we sat in the dark smoking hashish. SA moved everyone i showed it to, some people were like "wtf is this?!" and others just melted into the sound. I think in another 50 years we will see just how inspirational Simeon and co were truly.
Simeon and SA are the reason I continue to make time for music well into my 30s. The reason I still enjoy the deep diving into experimentation. Not to mention, putting anything from that SA record on a DJ set or my wee radio show always pricks someone who hasn't heard it before's ears up. Long live Simeon, and long live Silver Apples!
I spent a nice afternoon in Stereo a few summers ago. Highly recommended if you ever pass through Glasgow!
What a great story, thank you for sharing that
♥️
Do you hae anywhere to listen to any of your music? I'm intrigued
Thanks for sharing ❤
Im an old school UK based indie head and these guys actually were kinda big amongst the more "muso" indie types back in the 90s. You'd often hear a DJ spin some Silver Apples tunes in amongst the other psyche stuff in the back room at the end of an indie night.
And NZ punks in the early 80’s.
Appreciate the info.
That sounds so cool, like so authentic, sometimes I wanna be in those eras, when all's well. Indie now is like all that bedroom pop shit, fucking homogenous and boring asf.
@@marcusantonius6683 Indie pop back then was generic shit too. Only the shit that's lowest common denominator gets noticed because that's what's likely to sell.
@@marcusantonius6683 ye, or boring folk rock like cavetown. I miss the Olivia tremor control and thinking fellers days v_v
can - german band around time of kraftwerk, also ahead of their time. Anything faster than a certain bpm was avant garde.
yessssss
Can’s Tago Mago is, in my opinion, the greatest album of all time.
@@peterlawson777 bring me coffee or tea
and neu!
Faust too!
I saw A24’s movie Civil War today and GASPED as I heard Lovefingers by Silver Apples playing in a scene, really fitting and kinda unnerving. Crazy small world!
I was at one of their shows when my mom was pregnant with me. It was ok. 😂
Cuuuuuute
No side affects?
Dang it Joe!😂😂😂😂
Now we know how you acquired your name, Bim
David Bowie showed up and then you danced for the first time.
The irony is that Pan Am ultimately folded after two of their planes crashed.
Maybe it was a premonition?
Into each other?

They were a big company too. Wow. Yeah they definitely had a premonition. Like many young free thinkers.

Came here just to say RIP Simeon Coxe (1938-2020), had the chance to briefly chat with him once. A true pioneer and overall great human!
I first heard Silver Apples playing over the sound system in a now defunct rock bar and was blown away when the owner told me the album was from the late 60s. Absolutely mental how ahead of their time they were
Aww... just goes to show how censorship kills art.
Indeed... And that new killer is RUclips... They deleted my artist portfolio of 10 years....

@@carolina_grace5721 make a video on it
Actually in this case it could be argued that capitalism killed art. It could also be argued that by agreeing to put the PanAm logo on their album...they sold out. No disrespect towards Silver Apples but this wasn’t a clear case of censorship for censorship’s sake.
The 60's was so far ahead we are still trying to catch up.🎯
Right, never before has an era been so far behind and so far ahead at the same time.
@@awesomeferret damn. Never seen it like that. Till now & till now
They should have picked up Syd Barrett
Syd Barrett was way to far gone to continue making and performing music. By 1968 he had pretty much lost his mind.

@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath no
Read “a very irregular head” by rob Chapman if you want to understand a fraction of syd’s mind. Don’t listen to these keyboard biographers
Nice to see that young generation rediscover Silver Apples... There was also an album of Morton Subotnick “Silver Apples of the Moon” from July 1967 that utilised a very early Buchla 100 synthesiser, which actually Morton Subotnick helped Don Buchla to build. Lot’s of Silver Apples in the 1960’s ;)
I think the band actually took their name from that record.
lovely
I wonder if this is where 'Simian Mobile Disco' got its name.
@@VuotoPneumaNN Perhaps but ultimately it comes from this Yeats poem.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Song_of_Wandering_Aengus
Morton Subotnik is great. Also Oskar Sala if you haven’t checked him out - epic modular stuff in a similar vein.
damn this Simeon refuses to jam with anyone else and still jams with his old band mate. Respect that is love
Silver Apples: Still the sound of the future half a century later.
Dude nobody's talking about how you sound like the guy from Jack in the box
Maybe he is Jack? We've never seen who's under that giant head.
Holy Shit! Yur right
Bruh
And Ray Romono
You mean Jack?
He is definitely a real one. Wouldn't replace his band mate and instead kept him alive in spirit. What a friend 💯
“Rather than perform with a new drummer, Simeon decided to sample all of his drum parts.”
I’m not crying,
*Youre crying*
Yeah and then the video just ends 😢
@Denilson Thomas
I was memeing. Sincerely, if I had tears, they were happy ones.
I'm wondering did DJ Premier or some ol famous hip hop producer find their album way way back and used it
Bro these guys basically had a vip connection with every 60s musician that I love 😂
1:55 I have that same model of oscillator (signal generator) in my repair shop. I still use it to repair audio amplifiers. Didn't know it was that old!
I totally see their influence in Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, Iron Butterfly and, yes, Portishead! I absolutely love Portishead.

Jim actually "predicted" music would be more electronic in the future rather than actual traditional voices and instruments. I'm not really a huge fan of it myself I like a classic rock sound still. Just as I would prefer seeing a live gig rather than just dance at a disco with some dj.
Got to meet the Simean in 1998 when he played in Portland. We took a picture and he gave me a copy of his new album, since I was too young to get in to the club. I was 18.
And then there's Morton Subotnick's Silver Apples of the Moon. Now that's unreal sounds in album form. Love it.
Yeah, Subotnick's Silver Apples of the Moon came out the year before. Hard to think that it wasn't an influence.
And that's the BEST version of Jimi's star spangled banner, wow , I had no idea that silver apples were in on that.
Magic.
I actually almost teared up once that clip came on
7:50 WTF the dude even wears a Spy vs Spy shirt..... wow!
YES I noticed that! VERY COOL!
According to Wikipedia, the band the Silver Apples AND the album by Morton Subotnick called "The Silver Apples of the Moon" BOTH took their names from "The Song of Wandering Aengus," an 1897 poem by Irish poet W. B. Yeats.
Both the Silver Apples and Subotnick were active in NYC at about the same time.
Coincidence or what?
That album cover and back is really funny and rather clever.
Sean Tulien It’s hilarious.
Reminds me of the prophetic album cover of the twin towers. I think it was a rap band who had a cover of a plane flying into them!
Highway 1 wait what that’s kinda scary 😳
My RUclips account we already been thru this conspiracy dont act too shocked.
MrSpencerMcIntosh ohhhh. Listen up children, the teacher is getting upset.
I’m honestly really glad I got this recommended because this was actually entertaining and I feel educated now
Carry on our wayward son!
Smoke one, then listen to SA!
Unreal! You found the Silver Apples. They opened for jethro Tull's first US performance at they Boston Tea Party. A Dayglo dungeon in Boston. I was 17 and my mind was blown forever! Great stuff.
That's amazing you caught it. I take it they were pretty memorable?
They went into the studio to record an album and the engineer was so afraid of one of their musical instruments? Are you saying actual fear kept this man out of the studio?
Look up Raymond Scott. He was largely considered a jazz musician, and his piece, Powerhouse, is famously sampled by Carl Stalling in the Looney Tunes cartoons. However, his experimental work using early, archaic electronic instruments, is certainly way, way ahead of its time.
DJCHAV0 - Rush also used part of Powerhouse in "La Villa Strangiato". Fantastic song!
I first learned about Raymond Scott thru Jay Dilla's sampling of his work. He did amazing shit with his self made instruments!
Raymond Scott worked with Bob Moog on a synthesizer he called the Clavivox, but Scott never finished it. I believe that synth still exists and is being restored.
I've also heard "The Toy Trumpet" in a few cartoons.
R.I.P Simeon Coxe, thank you for bringing electronic music and defying the norm. Big respect forever.
A lovely story. You should mention they called themselves Silver Apples after Morton Subotnik’s Silver Apples of The Moon, a classic of early electronic music and in turn lifted from a WB Yeats’ poem The Wandering of Aengus, “...the silver apples of the moon, the golden apples of the sun...”
Yes! Was waiting for this
One of a kind group. I envy anyone who can say they've seen them live
Saw them live but 2011
Saw them (well Simeon) around 1996 in a loft in Montreal. I got to tell him they were years ahead of their time and actually anticipated house and techno. Simeon signed my record and told me if I saw Dan Taylor to tell him he was looking for him!
Simeon Coxe just passed away a few days ago. It was strange to see this pop up in my feed today.
When you are censored today, you are propelled to new heights..but back then you were actually silenced.

@@Ryan-wx8of cause they are old...
I promise you that when some of the kids that use social media become the powerful they will know how to silence people.
except you notice after they were threatened there was no interest in bringing them back - until 2009 when that granpa did a solo tour of their music.
@@truthnfreedomseeker you mean social media, the home if cancel culture?

@@jrh11254 yes

This has to be the craziest true story of an album cover I’ve ever heard.
It was a great cover, too.
I supported SA last time he was in town a few years ago. He is super old now but is still out there playing shows with his cool AF semi modular setup. Im just a lowly electronic weirdo myself, but simeon was the nicest, most supportive guy of his calibre that ive met in music, next to the dude from Faust, who I also opened for, who gave me a t shirt and smoked some of my weed. It's gonna be a sad day when Simeon leaves us, but I think he's got a lot more left in him yet.
This is slightly off topic, but re: the band Suicide, Bruce Springsteen, who is a contemporary of theirs and most likely saw Suicide perform - has a song or two on his Nebraska album which were heavily influenced by their sound.
Aubrey Adams The Boss rules and knows good music when he hears it 🙌🏻
Nebraska is his only good album
GHOST RIDER MOTORCYCLE HERO
Suicide were not contemporaries of Silver Apples... They were influenced, separated by a full decade.
Springsteen covered a Suicide song, Dream Baby Dream. He definitely saw and met them and the royalties gave Alan Vega some money.
RIP Simeon. I watched this video only to discover he passed away 2 weeks ago. A little less than 5 months after this video was posted.
This video makes me so sad. Not only are they both gone now, but over 80% of their recordings have also been lost. The bulk of it burned up in 2008.
omg this guy couldn’t catch a break
I highly recommend the Silver Apples music as well as United States of America and Suicide. But I really don't understand how they failed to foresee that Pan Am would object to the picture on the back combined with their logo on the front.
Clifford Hodge USA is a masterpiece of an album!
I'm realizing what a different time it was in 1968 vs 1978. The music industry hated controversy. Getting busted with weed was a death sentence. Zappa had his career put on pause because of an obscenity charge. Rick James was blacklisted because of his draft dodger status. But then, a decade later, you get the Sex Pistols and suddenly all press is good press.
@@Bandsplaining It was a different time, sure, but I don't think that kind of thing would fly even now. (pun intended) Can you imagine if the front cover was a Starbucks shop and the back cover was the remains of the same shop blown up by a bomb? They'd have the same reaction and be rightfully pissed. It was a terrible attempt at being edgy and resulted in only cringe.
Suicide is amazing. Discovered them and Silver Apples around the same time and it honestly changed my life and the way I approach making my own music.
@@HotStrange springsteen LOVED Suicide. I love certain versions of a few of their songs, in particular. They stand the test of time, somehow.
For anyone trying to find the music from 3:11 it's Hugh Le Caine: Dripsody (1955)
R.I.P. Simeon Coxe. The legend of the Silver Apples comes to a close. Thank you for the music!
The rest of the band quit,
and were immediately replaced with kittens.
Yay
This adorable comment made my day 😂
They were into kittens before it was cool.
😹😸😻

Brilliant, fucking brilliant!
Is this the same band that my friend showed me 20 years ago? I thought they were called 'Apple' and could never find any evidence of them existing due to the computer company of the same name. He said they were one of the first to use electronic stuff.... back in the day. At any rate, good vid!
How is anyone expected to answer that first question? It's unfair, we just dont know.

Fortunately someone here in Gothenburg had the good sense to book the remaining Silver Apple for a concert not too long ago and publicize it just enough. It was a real treat, as you'd expect. Never thought I'd get to hear it live.
Whaaat in my hometown!! I had No idea!! Thanks for sharing
That’s so heartwarming that he’s still performing omg
PLEASE do a video about White Noise! They were doing electronic music around the same time if not earlier and they have a super interesting story. Their album took a couple of years to produce because they put every tiny tape sample together manually. It's CRAZY. It's very of its time but also still ahead of the times. They're one of my favorites, I would love to see you talk about them. Their album is called "An Electric Storm"
why does the narrator sound like a prepubescent ray romano
Dam... now I can't un hear it.
Bruhhhh
I thought he sounded like Ray Romano after having his wisdom teeth out, so we're right on it there.
Cheers for that. Can't unhear this now.
This was before the frog expansion pack In his throat was done growing
That back cover... HOW IS IT no one said “hey, can we talk about this?”
Exactly. I literally said "oh my god...🤦♀️" when they showed the back cover. I guess it was a different time back then and they thought it was no big deal lmao.
Sometimes, "artistic expression" is just another version of "It's just a prank, bro!"
There's a lot of harsh album covers out there. What made this one controversial was simply the logo being exposed and Pan Am not realizing their intentions of using the back photo. They could of used a pic with no logo. Yeah too bad they didn't talk about the consequences before following through with their choice.
Man you people genuinely disturb me. You have no understanding of what youre actually talking about. Censorship is a disease. You truely see this art as some distasteful edgy trash, then fine, i thinks thats a ridiculous take, but you have your opinions. But acting like it shouldn't be allowed is outrageous.
@@CheshireCad if you honestly think this art was made with the same juvenile, edgy, motivation of just getting a reaction or offending people, as "its just a prank bro", i think you're being naive and ridiculous. First of all i dont think the image is offensive at all, but even if you find it offensive that does not mean thats the only emotional response it can provoke, and just because it holds not emotional or artistic value to you doesnt mean it cant for others. If you dont enjoy it thats fine, but you have no right to invalidate others appreciation for it
RIP Simeon. June 4, 1938 - September 8, 2020.
Imagine hearing this at the moon landing watch party :0
when I was a teen I listened to the Contact album and really dug it.....This documentary and it's photo of the album cover allowed me to rediscover this wild sound....now I know what to look for. Thanks for the "blast from the past" that let me spot this album again.

Thanks for sharing I would have never heard of Silver Apples otherwise.
same here, and i am a great fan of electronic music.
Electronic music. The greatest and most diverse music there is imho. Literally no boundries and the only genre that keeps inventing itself over and over again! 🙂🙏🏼
@@user-rc4re5fo2f Thats true for some styles perhaps.. But the fresh deeper stuff isnt just recycling my man. Boundaries are limitless! And the fact that electronic music keeps better and more advanched, is due computer technique and software whats getting better and way more dynamic etc etc..
@@user-rc4re5fo2f lol, It's the most diverse by definition, hence it takes such a long time to explore all the possibilities. 'Human' means nothing, since everything's a human creation, including the electronic devices themselves. Hypnotism and mechanicality are just another of possible forms of expression. And since the dawn of civilization music was, in 99,99% of the cases, about recycling and replaying existing themes.
Giorgio Moroder took this and mastered it into what we know as electronic music, electronic artists today are still copying bits from his music and making it into their own. Impressive to hear the roots of where it all began!
"The most important band you've never heard of..."
I love how you described the artwork as "Banksy style" when It has been speculated that one half of the trip-hop duo Massive Attack (3D) is Banksy. It would make perfect sense if he got musical and visual inspiration from Silver Apples to make experimental music and artwork.
That thing about him not finding a New drummer and sampling his buddy really made me feel sum type of way
Great video. I'm so glad you mentioned United States of America. Such an underrated band. Check out Fifty Foot Hose as well!! Their Cauldron album is fantastic, and recorded in 67' with lots of synths and weird sounds.
Cosmic Amphetamine Brain so good!!
by far my favorite cover of God Save The Child was done by Fifty Foot Hose
@@3v3n5t4r yeahh it's cosmic hahah
I saw Silver Apples live. It was incredible...supremely psychedelic.
They also were said to have invented their own instruments.
Once upon a time in 1967 on a sunny day in middle England in a large shed did Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Cream and many more play their gifted sounds.
A whole area of musical experimentation that I never heard of..I can see why it influenced so many later bands.
Here after Civil War used Lovefingers in the opening. Amazing how both Silver Apples and Suicide were featured in that movie. I wonder if you're video maybe influenced Alex Garland's choice of both of these bands being in the movie.
That would be an incredible ego boost 😅😅. But I reckon the two bands are just commonly linked because Silver Apples was extremely influential to Suicide, and the only “biography” of Silver Apples was a chapter in the Suicide memoir. A man can dream tho…
Kraut Rock Can and still is amazing to this day. Kraftwerk, Radiohead all techno / house hip hop but these guys were 50 years ahead of their time. I used to say the same about CAN when I found them in the 80's. Arcade Fire and other pop/ rock bands sounds like them. What a find. digging it. Literally found these guys 15 minutes ago. They influenced generations of music. As a DJ I'm embarassed I never had heard of them and Im 50 years old.
That "WW2 oscillator" is called a voltage controlled oscillator. VCO's are used to output oscillating electric fields with a frequency dependent on an input DC voltage. They're at the heart of many fundamental electronics designs that make modern telecommunications tech possible.
I saw these guys play a free outdoor show in the San Francisco Civic Center in 1968.
