I posted about this in the ole sidebar the other day but since it has earned its way to heavy rotation I figured it bears repeating. This Mort Garson album, Plantasia, is a fantastic little 1970's Moog space journey. Mr Garson had an illustrious career writing and arranging for the likes of Brenda Lee, Cliff Richard, Doris Day, Mel Torme and Lee Hazelwood but he was also a pioneer in usage of the Moog and, boy oh boy, does it show. Plenty of early adopters of the instrument ended up making cheesy versions of classic songs but Garson crafts a audible journey that feels like it has some real heart behind it. Be like me, listen to it on repeat.
