Mort Garson 'Mother Earth's Plantasia'

Long before ambient music became a genre, Mort Garson was crafting lush Moog synthesizer compositions designed not for people—but for plants. Originally released in 1976 and subtitled “warm earth music for plants… and the people that love them,” 'Mother Earth’s Plantasia' is a whimsical, pioneering electronic album made to soothe your leafy companions and their caretakers alike. Blending playful melodies with cosmic tones, it’s a sonic greenhouse of early analog experimentation.

Inspired by the plant-obsessed cultural boom sparked by the bestseller The Secret Life of Plants, Garson’s music radiates warmth, curiosity, and gentle psychedelia. Recorded using the then-revolutionary Moog, 'Mother Earth’s Plantasia' is both a heartfelt novelty and a visionary electronic work. It stands as a charming outlier in the world of early synth music—more meditative than mechanical, more nurturing than clinical. A cult classic rediscovered by generations of ambient lovers, it’s an album that truly grows on you.
