Wozard of Iz

This rare album from 1968 demonstrates the diversity of Mort Garson’s work.  The album really shocked me because it seems worlds apart from Black Mass, which was released three years later.  Wozard of Iz is a political satire of the 1939 film, with lyrics by Jacques Wilson. It is said that Nancy Sinatra was the vocalist under another name.

Black Mass

A Canadian master of bizarre electronic music, Mort Garson’s best work can be found in his Moog albums.  Although Garson had a background in easy listening and pop music, he paved new ground with his electronic albums from the 60s and 70s. Black Mass (1971) by Garson’s pseudonym, Lucifer, has a major focus on occultism and is often seen as his masterpiece. This album is constantly changing within its theme, but there is an ever-present mood of darkness. Eerily peaceful Moog can soon turn into a storm of hellish hallucination.
