Wow, so crazy. I did some similar research and couldn't find the connection either. Sounds like Subotnick's work came first but not by much. I wonder the Silver Apples were simply playing homage to him when they named their group. If its a crazy cosmic significance, it would be totally freaking legendary. I'm gonna read that Yeats poem. haha

I'll let you know if i learn anything else.
