Legacy
Adam Bunch of Crawdaddy! wrote in 2007: "Silver Apples is a record that reached far ahead of its time. It's not surprising then, in a year when the airwaves were still dominated by Motown and the Beatles (whose experimentation was tame by comparison), that it failed to garner much of an audience. Even now, nearly forty years later, the record sounds fresh and unconventional – in 1968 there simply wasn't anything else like it."[1] The Vinyl Factory included the record as one of the best electronic albums of the 1950s and 1960s, calling the album "a stunning collection of rickety electronic grooves and hydraulic wheezes," noting that "the compositions are often harmonically static, giving the record a driving, hypnotic quality. There’s not a bum track on it."[2]
The track "Oscillations" placed at number 119 on Pitchfork's list of "The 200 Greatest Songs of the 1960s",[7] while it placed 48th on a similar list by NME.[8] The album itself would later be ranked by Pitchfork as the 77th best of the decade,[9] while Spin ranked it 25th on their list of "The Top 100 Alternative Albums of the 1960s".[10]
John Lennon was a fan of the album.[11Silver Apples were an American electronic rock group[2] from New York, active between 1967 and 1970, before reforming in the mid-1990s. It was composed of Simeon (born Simeon Oliver Coxe III,[4] June 4, 1938 – September 8, 2020),[5] who performed on a primitive synthesizer of his own devising; and, until his death in 2005, drummer Danny Taylor. The duo were among the first to employ electronic music techniques outside of academia, applying them to 1960s rock and pop styles.[6]

The Anthology of Experimental Music From Canada is the latest in a series of regional or country-specific collections from Unexplained Sounds Group. Each ‘Anthology’ is an audio adventure in its own right. As with other USG anthologies and local experimental music collections from the past, the styles represented here are numerous: from the drones of Clinker and Mark Hjorthoy, to cinematic pieces by Richard Begin and Kuma; from cinematic pieces with interspersed field recordings from Michael Trommer and Au Vol, to outright noisy romps delivered by Sound Is Energy, John Oliver, Brandon Auger, Dan Potter, and Jacob Audrey Taves. Whether you’re a community radio programmer or not, the Anthology of Experimental Music From Canada is a great introduction to some of the most challenging and left-field music being made in Canada today.
