Is this "Silver Apples" different from Morton Subotnik's "Silver Apples Of The Moon", the aimless Moog noodling thing from the late 60's? And This Heat? Ecch, "Deceit" wasn't any great shakes. Lotsa other music more interesting than that back then. Course, I brake out in hives if I hear too much Jazz influences in stuff, so I'm biased against stuff like that. - Greg
