In the mid-1970s, a force of nature swept across the continental United States, cutting across all strata of race and class, rooting in our minds, our homes, our culture. A book called 'The Secret Life of Plants'. Perhaps the craziest claim of the book was that plants dug music. Whether you purchased a snake plant, asparagus fern, peace lily, you also took home 'Plantasia', an album recorded especially for them. Subtitled 'Warm Earth Music for Plants - and the People That Love Them', it was full of bucolic, charming, stoner-friendly, decidedly unscientific tunes enacted on a new-fangled device called the Moog.
