Mother Earth's Plantasia is an electronic album by Mort Garson released in 1976.
The music on it was composed specifically for plants to listen to.[6] Garson was inspired by his wife, who grew many plants in their home.[7] Garson used a Moog synthesizer to compose the album, the first album on the West Coast composed entirely on the Moog synthesizer.[7]
The album had a very limited distribution upon release, only being available to people who bought a houseplant from a store called Mother Earth on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles or those who purchased a Simmons mattress from a Sears outlet, both of which came with the record.[6] As a result, the album failed to attain widespread popularity around the time of its release. However, it has since gained a cult following as an early work of electronic music.[8]
The album also gained popularity on YouTube, with the full album (uploaded without permission) gaining millions of views and thousands of comments spread over multiple different bootleg uploads.[9]
In March 2019, Sacred Bones Records announced that they were officially reissuing Mother Earth's Plantasia.[8] The reissue is available on music streaming services and was released on vinyl, CD and cassette on June 21, 2019.[6] Angie Martoccio, writing for Rolling Stone in 2019, described Mother Earth's Plantasia as Garson's magnum opus.[10] Stephen M. Deusner, writing for Pitchfork, described it as perhaps Garson's "most beloved album, at least among crate-diggers and record collectors."[4]
For the 2023 tax season, Intuit used the opening track "Plantasia" on a TurboTax advertisement.[11]
