This album is one I have turned on to a lot of people, and it's easy to see why. Their musical style, sampling use, electronic blips and sounds make the music seem extremely contemporary, despite being produced in the latter years of the 1960s. With quirky poetic lyrics, live drums and sound tweaks from a beast of machinery, Silver Apples were ahead of their era, laying the groundwork for experimental and avant-garde bands who came after.

And what's great about it is how "listenable" the music is. It's not just for a handful of sound engineers and music snobs to appreciate, but there's something on this album for everyone to enjoy who has an interest in music that's a bit quirky and unusual.
