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 ā€œcompletely electronic film scoreā€, 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.
