I really enjoy David Hartley's YouTube channel & seemed apt to post this given the debate around new releases (interesting video anyway).

Thank you for sharing this video ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿฅณ

II didn't expect Mother Earth's Plantasia to be the album discussed in it.


Mother Earth's Plantasia (1976) by Mort Garson

Music can subjectively make one feel various things, and II, for example, don't occasionally associate this music with plants, as to me it sounds like a ghost-inhabited abandoned outer-space-themed theme park in outer space than a plant-calming music ๐Ÿ˜ฒ Nevertheless, the music is well-composed, so it has brought more people listening to it over time.

This album now successfully represents the Moogsploitation era.
And it also sounds pretty much ahead of its time, as music from some Japanese video games released for home computers and for some video game consoles during the 80s-90s sound similar enough to it.

Other than "Mother Earth's Plantasia", II only listened to two Moog instrumentals by Jean Jacques Perrey. 60s-70s electronic music sounds really strange...
But this topic has piqued my interest in listening to "Mother Earth's Plantasia" again and again, and II think it's starting to sound better to me than before.

By the way check out the song mentioned in the video, "Our Day Will Come" by Ruby and the Romantics, which Mort Garson co-wrote, and was ahead of its time in 1963, as much as "Mother Earth's Plantasia" in 1976. It would be interesting if the song gets more track ratings on BEA in the future.
