White and yellow splatter vinyl version.
Beacon
is the fourth album for the
Silver Apples
, the "come back album", produced by
Steve Albini
and originally released in 1997 on CD only. Eight of the tracks were 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's past. A reworking of "I Have Known Love" opens the record. "You and I" is given an appropriate chaotic reading; a wall of cacophonous keyboards forms in the instrumental breaks, like the video game
Stargate
on tilt. Of the originals, the vocal-less "Cosmic String" is the standout, developing a Trans Am groove with sounds recalling the moment the beloved
Pac-Man
is caught by his nemesis,
Speedy
.
Beacon
is full of the influence of '80s video games, no doubt incorporated by the twenty-something Hawkins.
