Get it here!It seems like when most people think of classic electronic music they think of the 90's stuff. When I say classic, I'm thinking moog and other 60's and 70's synth albums. Above is a one of the greatest albums, by one of the greatest greats in electronic music. Plantasia by Mort Garson using the moniker of "mother earth". Ever since someone on alt.binaries.sounds.electronic.mp3 was so kindly enough to post a slew of classic works for me I've been addicted to this stuff. Recently, I got hooked up with this great online store that beefed up my collection with literally dozens of these old albums in addition to the dozens I already have. Sorting through all these though, has really reminded me of how much I appreciate the man above. Unless someone wants to prove me wrong with some other moog albums that I'd love to hear, it seems like most of the records out there were just covers of pop songs. Excellent covers mind you and I definitely have to let you readers out there here them, but it's just disappointing that hardly anyone besides Mort and another great moog artist Wendy Carlos, really made an attempt to seriously compose original stuff. A man can listen to a moog cover of Hair so many times.
Stay tuned for an upload or two.

Hello
Planatasia what an album ...come visit for Mort stuff :)
Yeah, his other less electronic inspired works. Good stuff, but nothing like the others. I need another plantasia or black mass styled album.
Great! Thanks for sharing:)
No problem, stay tuned for more Mort and others. I have dozens of these old albums.
Wondering though, how are you guys finding my blog? I've done test searches, but I haven't seen myself listed yet.
