It's a terrific twenty three-tracker that includes our darling cover, "The Dream Inspires", which you can listen to here. The compilation also includes a bonus disc of, well, twenty three more songs highlighted by a live gem by the TVPs themselves recorded back in 1980! So do visit The Beautiful Music site and order yourself and your friends a copy.

In addition, while on the Listen page of our site, please do sample our newest track, "Tomorrow Says Goodbye", a crushing patchwork demo of pop and noise. It's part of the online compilation entitled This Feels Like Summer, so if you like the track, you can download it and everything that comes with it for free here.

October 2010 News

It has been very quiet the past three months or so over here at the Apple O HQ though we've been pretty busy with a lot of other things. We do have a short and sweet update for you kids.


The third installment of the Television Personalities tribute series entitled All Those Times We Spent Together can be pre-ordered from the lovely label,The Beautiful Music. According to the site, there are some slight delays with its release but we say it's a fab assemblage of TVP covers, which includes our contribution, "The Dream Inspires". Plus it got a mention on a review by Pennyblack Music!

 
In addition, particularly to completists out there, we recommend to track down a compilation CD entitled To Think Geometrically. It's a Cloudberry mixed bag of sorts exclusively issued in the Philippines by Manila's Universal Records.

Released sometime early this year - around May perhaps, it's made especially for the popkids in the Philippines. Our track "That Happy Glow" is included along with tunes from The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, The Bridal Shop, Twig, Horowitz, The Airfields, and ten other bands who have releases with Cloudberry Records.

Lastly, just a reminder that our latest 7" single, A Month Of Spring is available from our shop. It's buzzing with beauty and wonder.
