Both quality...!
The first two Silver Apples albums were, I think, released on a 2 on 1 cd. Essential...! The Monks were American servicemen stationed in Germany playing mind-bending R 'n R. One of those truly visionary bands. I will now duly shave my crown in honour... -------------

The Monks: "Great Legs, Shame About The Face", "Drugs In My Pocket", "Don't Want No Reds Under My Bed" and "Skylab" Are we talking the same The Monks? ------------- "they locked up a man who wanted to rule the world. the fools they locked up the wrong man." - Leonard Cohen |

Thanks for reminding me ... I had thought a while back that the Silver
Apples were a potential addition under Progressive Electronic ...
although the music they made was closer to electronic psychedelia ... I
must say listening to their two albums in a row is impossible for me
... I always end up with a bad headache

I don't know the Monks music (except the late 1970s punk band...), but The Silver Apples were amazing - and should be here, IMO

Hear, hear! Just heard them for the first time last October. Very out there stuff, definitely ahead of it's time from a sound design perspective, although I've read that a sizable portion of their "sound" was a byproduct of the fact that neither of them knew the first thing about music!
