Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally given away for free with the purchase of a houseplant or a mattress, Mort Garson's eccentric Moog synthesizer album has achieved legendary cult status. 'Mother Earth's Plantasia' is an incredibly soothing, wonderfully warm pioneer of space age pop, crafting beautifully soft, highly melodic instrumental soundscapes specifically intended to encourage plant growth.
