Danny Taylor was a fucking fantastic drummer, straight up the American Leibzeit.
all ya gotta do is listen to Simeon these days with his backing tracks and realize how essential Danny was.
great breakbeat stuff but then great colorful cymbal work, too.

incredible the music that can be made with just oscillators and drums.

as fas as I know, no footage exists of the Apples back in the 60's, but they have inspired some cool fan vids. here's a couple-

These pics have caught my attention.

I've never heard Silver Apples, need to change that soon, like after work, today.

Outrageously awesome band. Some of the most jaw dropping madness i've ever heard. it was some of my favourite tunes to listen to on my walk to class.
