The Zodiac
Cosmic Sounds (1967)

Featuring involvement from Mort Garson, Paul Beaver and Jaques Wilson, this is another one of those great exploito albums that slid out of the dark in '67 to scare us. Trips through various moods that they think correspond with the given starsigns relevent to the listener, and some chat that supposedly relates to your sign. In a perverse experiment, i played this album to a few friends and they all said that their favourite track was their own starsign !!! Give it a shot and see what you think, the people on the record might just be talking to you.

The Zodiac : Cosmic Sounds (also known, less correctly, as either The Zodiac by Cosmic Sounds, or Cosmic Sounds by The Zodiac - the sleevenotes were unclear) was an innovative collaborative concept album on the theme of the signs of the Zodiac. It was issued by Elektra Records in 1967 and featured early use of the Moog synthesizer by Paul Beaver, with music written by Mort Garson, words by Jacques Wilson, and narration by Cyrus Faryar. It has been variously described as "a wonderful period piece" and "apt to inspire more giggle fits than stoned, pull-the-shades-down reveries"
