The Great Forward-Thinking Sound of the Silver Apples!

The Silver Apples are one of the most interesting bands in pop music history. Propelled by the constant, propulsive drum rhythm that would later become known as "motorik" when used by Neu! and textured with early synths, the result is a clash between control and chaotic noise. The synths ambush the ears and create a trippy atmosphere, the antithesis of the steady rhythm section. Well worth a listen if you want to hear the strange beginning of not just krautrock, but the foundations of electronic music as a whole.
