From Tone Soul Evolution to . . .

[nice man washing]

Hi Apples fans,

I've got Tone Soul Evolution, which I love, and I want to get another Apples album. Which would you recommend that's like TSE?

I recommend "Her Wallpaer Reverie."

yeah i think wallpaper is the most similar i guess, but the other stuff is kind of different. for more lo-fi-ness, pick up science fair and funtrick noisemaker, both outstanding. for a lighter brighter pop sound, check out discovery of a world...

Fun Trick Noisemaker!!!
It's one of the best records ever!

Thanks folks!

you could really start anyway nice man washing--but if you want to start out with a similar sound to what you've heard from TSE, I would suggest The Disovery of a World Inside the Moone. For me, however, those two records are my least favorite Apples, although I still think they're nice enough (I know I'm probably in the minority here). But everything else by the Apples I pretty much love unequivocally, so I don't think you can really go wrong regardless of what you choose.

Have fun!

I love everything by the Apples except the new one, which I suggest you avoid.

Fun Trick Noisemaker
and
Her Reverie Wallpaper

both absolutely amazing! Fun Trick Noisemaker is the album that got me into AIS and is still my favorite! and i agree with ladylamentingonalawnchair... stay away from the newest one (at least until you have everything else).

nice man washing:

for the love of all that is good, do NOT stay away from the new one...it is excellent-- some don't think so, but don't take that as reason to avoid it AT ALL.

have a nice day! :)

I second that emotion. Too many people never really gave VoS a fair shot because it doesnt sound like the old stuff, but it is still an excellent record. For me, it ranks third in my favorite AiS albums.

her wallpaper reverie and/or the discovery of a world inside the moone.

i own VoS and have yet to listen to it since I bought it on vinyl and everytime I think i'm going to get a record player on ebay some arse beats me. sigh..i shall get one...someday.
