The Mort Garson archives ("Plantasia", Ataraxia, Lucifer) have brought to bear yet another awe-inspiring bloom.
"Journey To The Moon And Beyond" is a colourful synthetic dream world consisting of a collection of largely unreleased and unheard material from the "Patch Cord Productions" archives. There's the soundtrack to the 1974 blaxploitation film "Black Eye" alongside some newly unearthed music for advertising. Just as regal is "Zoos Of The World", where Garson soundtracks the wild, preening, slumbering animals from a 1970 National Geographic special of the same name. The crown jewel of the set is no doubt Garson's soundtrack to the live broadcast of the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing, as first heard on CBS News. That's one small step for man, one giant leap for Moogkind. But for decades, this audio was presumed lost, but thankfully, diligent audio archivist Andy Zax came across a copy of the master tape while going through the massive Rod McKuen archive. So now we get to hear it in all its glory. Across six minutes, Garson conjures broad fantasias, whirring mooncraft sounds, zero-gravity squelches, and twinkling études.
