Considering that many of Mort Garson's pioneering electronic albums were based on astrology and the occult, a set of compositions made just for plants is more down-to-earth in more ways than one.
Six years before the release of his landmark Mother Earth’s Plantasia LP, composer and arranger Mort Garson met experimental film director Skip Sherwood, who was interested in an electronic score for his new movie, Didn’t You Hear?
Subtitled "warm earth music for plants... and the people that love them," it was full of bucolic, charming, stoner-friendly, decidedly unscientific tunes enacted on the new-fangled device called the Moog.
The Mort Garson archives have brought to bear yet another awe-inspiring bloom. Journey to the Moon and Beyond is a colourful synthetic dream world consisting of a collection of largely unreleased and unheard material.
