About the album

In 1976, synth pioneer Mort Garson composed an album of gentle, melodic Moog music meant for houseplants to enjoy as much as people. Originally given away with purchases at a Los Angeles plant shop and with Simmons mattresses, it became a treasured collector's item.

"Plantasia" is bright and cheerful, "Symphony for a Spider Plant" and "Concerto for Philodendron & Pothos" are playful and lovely, and "Swingin' Spathiphyllums" lives up to its name. Happy music for happy plants. Each ecomix copy is unique.
