LP: Journey to the Moon and Beyond - Mort Garson

   For decades, this audio was presumed lost, the only trace of it appearing in an old YouTube clip. Thankfully, diligent audio archivist Andy Zax came across a copy of the master tape while going through the massive Rod McKuen archive.  Journey to the Moon and Beyond finds even more new facets to Mort Garson's sound, showcasing the Moogist’s many moods: sweet, exploratory, whimsical, a little bit corny, weaving it all together in a glorious whole. This LP includes Garson’s soundtrack to the live broadcast of the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing, as first heard on CBS News. Across six minutes, the track "Moon Journey"  conjures broad fantasias, whirring moon craft sounds, zero-gravity squelches, and twinkling études.
