reviving this thread for another recommendation, and hoping that NYC catches this one.

The Silver Apples. Late 60's psychadelia at it's finest, duo out of New York that was drums, some weird electronic instrument  and early experiments into sampling, distortion and such.

Quote:The arsenal of oscillators eventually grew (according to their first LP liner notes) to include "nine audio oscillators piled on top of each other and eighty-six manual controls to control lead, rhythm and bass pulses with hands, feet and elbows". Simeon devised a system of telegraph keys and pedals to control tonality and chord changes, and reportedly never learned to play traditional piano-styled keyboards or synthesizers. (from their wiki)

A little bit out there, but really fun stuff. Never got to see them live, but curious if NYC ever crossed paths with them.
