Silver Apples

Silver Apples were an American electronic rock group from New York, active between 1967 and 1970, before reforming in the mid-1990s. It was composed of Simeon, 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. Their work would influence many subsequent artists, presaging acts such as Suicide, Spacemen 3, Stereolab, and Geoff Barrow.
