От Кощея!

--------------------

В солнечной Чухляшке случайно накопал совершенно интерестнейшую вещицу, многообразие звуков, прекрасная на мой взгляд психо.

NB! рекомендация на диске - MUST BE PLAYED IN THE DARK

Cosmic Sounds

Personnel incl:

CYRUS FARYAR vcls A
MORT GARSON A

ALBUM:

1 THE ZODIAC (Elektra EKS 74009) 1967

NB: (1) pirated on CD (FID 32) 1997.

A track is allocated to each of the twelve signs of the zodiac on the above album, which was recorded by a group of session musicians and featured Cyrus Faryar on vocals. Instrumentals are superimposed by narrative and the two do not always blend effectively together. An unusual album, but not really recommended.

Mort Garson, whose project it was, went on to make an album as Lucifer, Black Mass and there were a number of others, including The Wozard Of Iz/An Electronic Odyssey (A&M SP 4156) from 1968 or 1969. It seems there were a also a whole series of albums dedicated to the Signs Of The Zodiac by Mort Garson including, Leo (A&M SP 4215) 1969/1970 and Aries (A&M SP 4211) c1969. On the Leo album he collaborated with Jacques Wilson, who also wrote the lyrics on The Zodiac album. Incidentally, Paul Beaver (half of the cult electronic duo Beaver and Krause - Beaver died in 1975) was involved on both The Zodiac and Wozard Of Iz albums. Cyrus Faryar was also a member of Modern Folk Quartet (along with Jerry Yester).

For Mort Garson completists, there's also an old 45: Gas Light Village/Drum Tango (Todd 1050) 1959, yes '59 as by 'Mort Garson & His Orchestra'! It's certainly different!
