It's no secret that i am a big proponent of analog synthesizers and the compositions composed and performed with them, and so, needless to say, i am glued to the 1971 album "Black Mass" by the late, great Canadian composer/songwriter/all-around-cool-guy Mort Garson, here making music under the moniker of Lucifer. This 30 minute opus is a collection of instrumental meditations on witchcraft and satanism performed on the always lovely and addictive Moog. The whole thing is pretty psyched out and trippy which makes it all the more intoxicating. It feels really retro, yet faux futuristic at the same time. Take a listen to "Witch Trial" below.
And here's the rumbling "Incubus."
And one more for the road, the cartoonishly evil "Solomon's Ring."
This album is making its way into steady rotation around here, and i think you should give it a shot too. No one makes anything like this anymore, and that's a damn shame.
