So, we had a conversation about Pepe Deluxe in Probe today and I was nudged in the direction of this from 1967. This was a one off project by someone called Mort Garson who was a Canadian composer and early user of Moog synthesisers, know for his Sci-Fi soundscapes
There is a connection with this and the latest Pepe Deluxe album
This is The Zodiac - Cosmic Sounds, every tune is based on a sign of the zodiac (but the band is called The Zodiac not the album - confusing!). There's no signing but there is spoken word in every track. That spoken word is by a bloke called Cyrus Faryar who is some American Folk singer born in the mid-30's (still alive) and he also appears on the Phantom Cabinet Vol 1. It is also claimed that he opened the first Coffee SHop in Hawaii if you want random claims to fame
Anyway, it's bonkers fab and groovey
