Mort Garson[Plantasia] 1976 Full Album

While I'm not quite convinced in its capacity to influence plant growth, Plantasia by Mort Garson has an undeniably soothing effect on its listeners. It is what came to my mind as the opposite of torture music. Yet, it seems music torture is more complicated than it seems. That is to say, the type of music in itself doesn't fully determine the magnitude of the torture. Music's effects can morph in different situations. I'm not sure how I'd take this album looping while shackled to the ground in a dark prison with a butt plug in me. The same sounds which once provoked a warm, thoughtful presence could easily turn ominous here. Think of "Goodbye Horses" in "Silence of the Lambs". It's a nostalgic, catchy song turned horrifyingly eerie in its context.
