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.
