Chance Meeting
Friday January 5th, 2024 with Heavy Ben
From The Archives 1: Mort Garson, Dream Dolphin, Dub Specialist

Chance meeting on a journey to the moon of ethereal fantasy and a version The music machine never stops. Big labels make big money selling the same songs to the same people decade after decade. Instead of that nonsense, Chance Meeting is interested in unearthed sounds from decades past that is some combination of: - never before released - prohibitively rare and expensive in its original form - first vinyl pressing of cassette, cd, or digital release - international music we never knew about On today's episode: Mort Garson - Canadian synth pioneer who soundtracked the moon landing, the occult, the zodiac, ads and films from Blacksploitation to National Geographic Dream Dolphin - Japanese producer whose unheralded ambient recordings have aged better than her euro-trance, drum'n'bass, and techno Dub Specialist - Jamaican mixologists from Studio One who take reggae into hypnotic echo-land For a two hour profile on Mort Garson, check out Electronic Sounds From Canada Part 8 (Heavy Friends, Aug 2021) https://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/410/52947.html (to embiggen the show icon, right-click and choose "Open image in new tab")

Great show - I am diggin’ it. Much like I dug Mort Garson’s theme to the 70s tv show ‘Untamed World’ (from the days long before there were entire *channels* devoted to ‘nature programming’) He’s quite a guy !

... a line, as requested... Nice funky / beatsy grooves today. Perfect for boring paperwork, largely written in legalsleeze... "May 2024 be less of a shit-show. " (i&i's official motto for the new year ;^)

Hey El Gordo, yeah this track "Zoos Of The World" was used in a National Geographic TV show in 1970. Remarkable how Mort was called on to soundtrack that and "Untamed World", though that was before his Lucifer and more oddbal stuff.
