ATARAXIA (Mort Garson)
The Unexplained (Electronic Musical Impressions Of The Occult)
2020 U.S. reissue
Orange Transparent vinyl

More Mort!

The only Garson record released under the name ATARAXIA, Mort explores multiple facets of the occult and paranormal.

His signature synths sound made for this kind of musical subject matter; astral projections, seances, tarot, numerology, astrology, and scrying (just to name a few).

This is more evidence of Garson’s brilliance. These compositions literally sound like those things.

Perfect for scoring a trip through a haunted house, scaring Trick O Treaters at Halloween, or trying to bring your dear old Gram Gram back from the dead.

MORT GARSON
Mother Earth’s Plantasia
2019 U.S. Ltd. Edition reissue
Green vinyl

A bright, beautiful Saturday afternoon, and I’m keeping it cheerful with this masterpiece.

Just a continuation of the inordinate amount of Mort Garson I’ve been listening to lately.

I also have an original pressing of this, WITH the book included, and with the original sticker of the mattress store that gave them away when you bought a new mattress.

I try not to listen to my OG TOO often, but this reissue sounds great regardless.

Just a masterpiece.

MORT GARSON
Didn’t You Hear?
2020 U.S. reissue

I’ve been doing a DEEP dive of Mort Garson lately, & I knew I was gonna save this for last.

Touted as the first “completely electronic film score”, this was originally released in 1970, only available in the lobby of the Seattle movie theatre where it was first screened.
Sacred Bones did a great job of remastering this from the original tapes, & those who have been looking for it all these years will be very happy that it’s finally available & sounding great.

This is pre-Plantasia Mort, & it sounds like a mix of what he usually does, crossed with John Carpenter if he was drunk & at his synthesizer.
I could easily hear some of this shit being in Halloween, The Thing, or Escape From New York.

A quick note on the actual movie:

It’s AWFUL.

And features a young Gary Busey.
😂

Diving into some more Mort to start the celebration.
The celebration of Friday.
The best day not named Saturday or Sunday.

Another great collection of Mort curiosities; including short advertising jingles, alternate Plantasia versions, random pieces from films and television, and more.

Long live The Master Of The Moog!

This also came with MY favorite poster that’s ever come with a record I’ve bought.
Just look at that thing.
I still need to have it framed.
