Long out-of-print electronic record Mother Earth's Plantasia gets vinyl reissue and digital release

Good news for people who are plants and/or enjoy the sort of music that plants crave: Mort Garson’s cult classic electronic album Mother Earth’s Plantasia from 1976 is getting reissued. Billed as “warm earth music for plants… and the people that love them,” the album is ostensibly intended to be played for growing plants, and if it’s unclear why plants would be interesting in synthesizer music, the answer is actually pretty simple: Because it’s all pretty rad. That radness helped establish Plantasia as a recent cult hit, though its status as an early electronic album geared toward plants—and the fact that it’s been out of print for a long time—made it an obscure collector’s item.
