Mort Garson

i got into walter through cherrystones. he's in a band called PREY with barry 7 ... check out what he said about walter sear

It was madnesss recording an album in New York. We did it down at Walter Seer's studio and he is like an American version of Joe Meek. He recorded the Copper Plated Intergrated Circuit album. Walter is an absolute nut. He would tell us all these mad stories about the studio. He used to do the soundtracks from horror or mondo films from the 70s. The soundtracks were so demented. Very weird people. Walter and his secretary Roberta Finchley. Roberta used to direct all the porn films. She had these shoulders hunched up to her ears and always would greet me as Mr Godsey. Before we left they let us take all these porn movie posters with John Holmes on them and what not. It was great.

They said that the studio was haunted as well, that was one of the reasons we went there. It was the last studio that John Lennon was in before he was shot. And he told us some stories about Mobb Deep and D'Angelo that I really can't relate for legal reasons but they are amazing. Very weird and amazing experience.

i'd like to hear this sears/circuit stuff, and i wont say no to any copies of anything!

there is a church in reno that has the most amazing church bells, i think i want a record of that more than anything. it was like a fake version of russian bells, but maybe it wasnt, it was its own thing. its the best sound ive heard since the train station tannoy in calais. have you been to reno?

i need to give costa a go. last time i played a lot of gal costa, i was all into marcos valle, and preferrred him, maybe i wont this time out

i spent the day yesterday interviewing joey stec. i felt bad because i was really interested in curt boettcher.

Of the three tracks I've heard, I think Over The Rainbow is my favourite. Who is that singing?

i'm unfortunately not on soulseek (DAMN MACS). maybe when i get a new computer with more hardrive space i'll get off my lazy ass and try to figure out how to install it (doesn't it take days?)

and one more annoying ebay story. i just won the John Phillips Wolfking record and i paid by paypal. right after i submitted my payment i realized they had my old address. so i corrected it, contacted paypal and contacted the seller. and it still goes to the wrong address. luckily my old building had a front desk that held onto it and i was able to pick it up, but FUCK YOU EBAY

As you can imagine, it's trippy as fuck and recommended for anyone into Subotnick, Tonto's Expanding Head Band, or Garson.

what is it like? when is it from?

i put other stuff on slsk today

I bought a copy of the Lord of the ringts record for three bucks last year. Weird fun meandering psych. It totally isn't funky tho, it is more like proggy synth folk than anything really propulsive. I saw the cover, checked the copyright date, and read the words "moogs and organs" and I was sold. It turned out to be a decent record.

It is really odd that this thread came up today. I have a huge clutch of cassette tapes in the console of my car. I have not touched any of them in more than 18 months. I went through them last night and found a tape with nothing on it. I had no idea what it was, so I threw it in on the way home from the club for the hell of it. It was a copy of Lucifer Black Mass that a friend had made for me about two years ago that I had completely forgotten about. It was a pleasant suprise to hear that album coming out of the speakers after a really good night at the club.

i listened to the Mort Garson track you posted to the soft pop thread and it wasn't really what i was expecting. way more harmonized vocals than i expected. really nice

i saw it on a wall yesterday for 25$. i have garson's Electric Hair Pieces and one of the Zodiac records, but don't really care for either of them. too much kitchy, googly moog.

milton, i know you said you liked it, but you also said you liked the Emil Richards "Stones" record which i also felt was too silly (the wife asks, "why the fuck are you listening to this Disneyland Electric Light Parade music?")

and I uh also kinda _like_ “Main Street Electrical Parade” especially the original pre-Disney version -- don't you like Perrey & Kingsley?

"Ataraxia" is definitely kitsch for me, lots of googly silly jazzy fills & straightforward moog sounds. don't pay $25, I've got a cdr you can rip

you know, maybe i just don't like pre-psychedelic moogy synthy stuff?

pulled out my Lothar & The Hand People cd the other day and giggled a bunch. some great tracks on there, but tons of crap.

I doubt it, though I can see why you'd speculate.

That self-titled Head LP by Raicevic on Buddah is crucial.

i have this 7-inch picture disc! the electric light parade music. it's awesome. great moog action. and the picture disc itself is heavenly looking. one of my favorite disney records.
