MORT GARSON (part 2 of 2)

Of my favorite Mort Garson record, “Plantasia”, music reviewer Ignatius on
rateyourmusic.com sez:
“Copies of ‘Plantasia’ were initially given away with Simmons mattresses (!) in the mid 70’s, the flora friendly record also came with an illustrated booklet on how to let the music speak to your plants, soothing them with soft oscillations and bouncy electro pop. How this music is supposed to relate to plants is beyond me, but it’s all the better for it, since the tunes are so good, many far ahead of their time in the ambient electronic pop idiom. Occasionally dipping into cheeky Perrey-Kingsley territory, these tolerable moments are more than forgiven by some of the other, more esoteric tracks that bounce and bleep their way around your virtual electro-greenhouse (or your headphones).“
