APATHY: Early Days of Recent Yore (1990)
The follow-up to Apathy's 1989 debut recording Tape Me If You Will was the spacey concept album Early Days of Recent Yore, released at the very beginning of 1990. Sort of a surreal musical cartoon, EDORY shows us two worlds beset with ecological problems and twin populations too self-absorbed to solve them. Although absurdism and free-form musical passages abound, Apathy is perhaps stylistically most reminiscent of mid-70s Genesis (while also being influenced by the complex time-signatures of King Crimson, the harmonies of Steely Dan and Pink Floyd, and some Joni Mitchell thrown in for good measure); Apathy stays rooted in experimental and progressive rock traditions throughout this recording.
