Lucifer (Mort Garson) - Solomon's Ring (1971)

The concept of this album showed the Moog delivering sounds sinister and exciting to a degree the lurid horror films of the day never matched.
All the titles related to occult phenomenons and themes, and seemed to focus mainly on the darker side of occultism. With it's breakbeats galore, intense synthesizer, hip original themes, this was really a unifying concept. An occult Moog-album! The man behind this recording was a somewhat obscure solo artist; Mort Garson.




Under the devilish pseudonym "Lucifer", Garson released this record: Lucifer - Black Mass. It
had his wildest hodgepodge of electronic sounds. Little is known about this release though.

Wow, never thought I would find this again. Back in '81 I played this on our high school radio station, tyipcally rock and metal was the music played, but after spinning this the phone was off the hook requesting more, heh.

THX for posting! still there in memory ,.even sounds great with modern speakers and computer ! cant belive it. Mostly due to the Moog pristine voice and a guy with great ears to work it.

I'm recalling sitting in my parents' basement late at night, I'm lit,

this is playing, and I'm staring at the the TV, which is now playing only snow.

good times...

thanks for posting this album. I'd forgotten about it,

but it was great to listen to as a teenager in 1971.

I nearly had flashbacks when I first heard it again.

thanks

Pretty nifty cool sound.

the creepiest & 1 of the greatest synthesized albums i've ever heard, especially for its time: Lucifer - Black Mass 1971 MCA. the uploader's notes are excellent & dead right. yes, impressive arrangements & creative use of the array of sounds synths can make. wow!

[bozzutoman]

This album is wonderfully thematic.
