 Decades after their brief yet influential career first ground to a sudden and mysterious halt, 

the Silver Apples remain one of pop music's true enigmas: a surreal, almost unprecedented duo, 

their music explored interstellar drones and hums, pulsing rhythms, and electronically generated 

melodies years before similar ideas were adopted in the work of acolytes ranging from 

Suicide to Spacemen 3 to Laika. The Silver Apples formed in New York in 1967 

and comprised percussionist Danny Taylor and lead vocalist Simeon, a bizarre figure who played 

an instrument also dubbed the Simeon, which (according to notes on the duo's self-titled 1968 debut LP) 

consisted of "nine audio oscillators and eighty-six manual controls...

Aside from Simeon's use of a banjo on a couple of tracks, the music on Contact does not differ from that of their debut. 

One aspect improved upon was the lyrics; many possess the same "cosmic" element found on Silver Apples, 

but others are full of bitterness, pain, paranoia, and confusion. In turn, the lead oscillator is used to greater effect, 

reflecting this newfound intensity.The record opens with "You and I," one of their best numbers, in which Simeon 

cuts out the hippie overtones present in the first album's lyrics and gets straight to the point...(AllMusic)
