The Discovery of a World Inside the Moone, the Apples in Stereo's fourth album, came out on SpinART in 2000 and finds the Elephant 6 crew pulling the plug on the echo chamber. Robert Schneider had always stacked his productions into a Spector-style Wall of Sound; this time he stripped things back toward how the band actually sounded live, letting a single guitar carry the weight.
The vintage psych-pop sparkle is still there, but Schneider had been soaking up Sly & the Family Stone and early Motown, so the grooves have more hip-shake to them. He also wanted every song to stand on its own, so instead of running the tracks together he left wide gaps between them, an idea borrowed from the Beatles' White Album. It won good notices as a showcase for the band's experimental side. The title comes from a 1638 book by the English clergyman John Wilkins.
