Mort Garson - Ode To An African Violet


I really like Mort Garson, his weird Moog driven songs are like little stories. He has done many great projects including writing all the songs for the cult psychedelic record "Cosmic Sounds" by The Zodiac. He also did some film scores and composed the National geographic Theme. This album "Plantasia" is music for plants. Silly as it seems studies have indicated plants do respond to sound. There was a major experiment done in 1973 by Dorothy Retallack who discovered that plants leaned towards relaxing music, while they leaned away from rock music. And that was a pretty good time for rock music.. Plants must really HATE Creed.
