always loved moog synths. synths in general really. thanks for the post.

[BaronVonKenny]

this sounds like background music for those 80s science videos. I can hear some asshat talking about atomic energy and why it's cool to this..

[synthastia]

@BaronVonKenny YES! That's exactly what this channel is dedicated to. "PBS Style Music". lol

That's the never ending quest, to find as much hardcore synth from the 60-80s as I can for you guys. Wish I could score more of the films that did feature this kind of music. As good as these albums are, many still are no where near as funky and synthy as the soundtracks to those educational films. Problem is 70's and 80's stuff is still copyrighted, can't get at it easy like 50's stuff

[BaronVonKenny]

@synthastia Hahaha, awesome! There's a certain novelty to those, it saddens me that synthesizers and ham acting are no longer used as educational tools.

[wickedwickedwest]

Wow, what an incredible discovery. Thanks for posting Mort.



[damable442]

[stereo123]

Yeah, that's my favorite of his albums too! Plantasia is awesome, and so is Swingin' Spathiphyllums (which is probably misspelled).

[younghippo]

[synthastia]

What channel and what was it? Do you remember?

[runitecastle]

i heard this on television, except it was sampled and a hip-hop beat was added.

[arealbladeofgrass]

What will happen if I play this Music to my Mary Jane plant.

[synthastia]

If the weed your already smoking is good, it will thank you. :)

[HashyBee]

Silly Shit right here......

[jesusisalive1000]

bahahaha! i remember listening to this when i was about 5 years old. still soothing!

[mydogwearsacape]

Thank you for posting this. This is a beautiful album. When I was in college, my roommate and I would listen to Plantasia and...uh...yeah. Anyways, he got it for 50 cents at a garage sale...money well spent! I've had a hard time finding this online.

[Celticfreeze]

Mort Garson was an amazing artist. He totally rocked that Moog. His Lucifer album is amazing as well.

[synthastia]

Amen to that!

[ForBeatsSake]

My favorite of his as well.

[Laura041974]

During the 70s schools across the UK watched educational TV shows made by the BBC. Before the start, a clock counted down and amazing music was played which was made by the BBC radiophonic workshop. Whole classes were listening to Moog! It sounded very similar to this. When I listened, I could see the clock!

[cream8]

music to listin to once youve eaten plants

[AltCowGod]

what about when i smoke them?

[mattlewis66]

I can't believe I found this!!! It was my complete favorite!!! Thank you Snythastia!

Thank you youtube!!

[LizzyChan101]

OMG!!! PLANTASIA-- I have this record! I know people ask me what an eighteen-year-old in this day and age is doing with records and record players................. In so many words-- some things just don't come like they used to. I own my own record player, and so I like to listen to my parent's records. They don't sell records anymore, apparently. But my parents have over a hundred that I love to play.

[Rhythmicons]

RIP Mort Garson.

I love this guy's Music.

Moog Lives.

[colibri1]

I remember this era, when homes were full of houseplants and hanging baskets. The women in our suburban neighborhood used to have "plant parties" in the mid-70s, when they would bring their favorite houseplants to someone's home and talk about them. And talk to them, too. I remember people saying that playing certain kinds of music to plants was good for them.

[LLLeeeeeeeee]

@colibri1 Oh my goodness! what a fascinating trend! I had no idea about this! I quite like it I think we should bring it back <3

[dadicks]

Thank you so much for posting this. I remember buying this album as a teenager; it was 10 cents at the Pic-N-Save (defunct bargain/outlet store). Loved it and used this very song for my haunted house on Halloween. Great memories. Thank you synthastia!
