http://www.discogs.com/Silver-Apples-Si ... ster/84456
http://www.discogs.com/Silver-Apples-Co ... se/2067616

after that the work gets sparse...but its all worth a listen. the early stuff like the self titled and cotact are early electronic experimental Psychedelic....certainly a step fwd in electronic music...Simon had basically invent a portable synth type hybrid instrument because there were none around in 68....good listens

C418. Composed the music in Minecraft, and has a site with a wicked free discography. Awesome ambience. Very inspiring. I'd call him a genius. Also, Carbon Based Lifeforms.
