Silver Apples – Beacon (Vinyl)
$55.00
Regular price $44.00New York electronic pioneers, Silver Apples 4th album, Beacon, was the ‘come back album’, produced by Steve Albini and originally released in 1997 on 14 track CD only. Now available for the first time on vinyl.
Eight of the tracks are new songs that former exile and Silver Apples leader Simeon had composed with recent additions Xian Hawkins and Michael Lerner. The remaining three tunes are remakes from the Silver Apples' past.
Of the originals, the vocalless “Cosmic String” is the standout, developing a Trans Am groove with sounds recalling the moment the beloved PacMan is caught by his nemesis, Speedy.
Beacon is full of the influence of '80s video games, no doubt incorporated by the twentysomething Hawkins.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
