Mort Garson - Journey to the Moon and Beyond (LP) [NEW]

A compelling compilation highlighting the golden era of Canadian composer and arranger Mort Garson—spanning the crucial decade between his first encounter with the Moog synthesiser in 1967 and the release of his iconic Mother Earth's Plantasia in 1976.

This 15-track collection brings together a treasure trove of rare and unreleased works. Highlights include:

• "Moon Journey": The legendary 6-minute soundtrack broadcast live across America during the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, available here on vinyl for the very first time.

• "Black Eye (Main Theme)": A psychedelic funk piece inspired by Curtis Mayfield’s Super Fly, written for the blaxploitation film Black Eye.

• "Love Is A Garden": A melodic synth-inst track directly bridging the soundscape to Plantasia.

• Unreleased archival audio prepared for 1970s television commercials and radio spots.

Garson's genius lies in combining quirky, progressive electronic experiments with the fluent, sophisticated arranging skills he honed during his pre-1967 pop era.

Artistic Die-Cut Sleeve Design

True to the visual spirit of his work, the outer sleeve features a die-cut astronaut helmet visor. By simply reversing the double-sided printed inner sleeve, you can display two distinctly different artwork variations—making it a striking art piece for your room.
