contact

Contact, the band's second album, appeared in 1969 and such was the Silver Apples recorded popularity that a national tour was quickly organised. Several tracks on Contact feature bass lines provided by Simeons banjo playing, but it is the clever use of the lead oscillator and new-found intensity of the lyrics that sets Contact apart from its predecessor, and such was the level of Simeons growing electronic proficiency that the intro to the albums opening track, You And I, more than successfully recreates the sound of an airplane taking off. Silver Apples all but disappeared from the musical firmament when KAPP folded in 1970. "
