Mort Garson Mother Earth's Plantasia

This is an album by Mort Garson recorded and released a few years past his monumental works 'The Zodiac - Cosmic Sounds' (1967), 'The Wozard Of Iz' (1968) and 'Lucifer - Black Mass' (1971). Every fan of unique psychedelic (The Zodiac) and mind-bending electronic music (the two others) should certainly lend an ear to these three masterpieces but there was more to come. 'Plantasia', originally released in 1976, has been labeled "warm earth music for plants and the people who love them". So you as the listener can imagine that what you get to listen to here is rather a bright affair far from the dark and seething atmosphere of the earlier electronic pieces. A shining diversity of stylistic devices have been used as fundament for the dreamy and colorful compositions that work like a soundtrack for a non existing movie actually. The warm yet haunting moog melodies can still create a rather sinister vibe in their most playful and surreal moments you would expect to experience while watching some early to mid seventies horror flicks from Italy.
