Mort Garson ‎– Mother Earth’s Plantasia (Green Vinyl)

Mort Garson’s Mother Earth’s Plantasia is a pioneering electronic album that blends soothing melodies with the exotic sounds of the Moog synthesizer. Released in 1976, the album was initially conceived as a promotional tool for a plant boutique. However, its unique blend of ambient soundscapes and playful tunes quickly gained a cult following.

Garson’s composition style is reminiscent of a botanical garden, with each track evoking a different plant or natural setting. From the lush “Symphony for a Spider Plant” to the tranquil “A Mellow Mood for Maidenhair,” the album transports listeners to a serene and imaginative world. The album’s original release included a care booklet for houseplants, further emphasizing its connection to nature. While initially overlooked, Mother Earth’s Plantasia has since been hailed as a classic of electronic music, captivating audiences with its timeless appeal and innovative sound.
