The battle of the soothsaying albums! |
Here are two more "items of the times" The Zodiac - Cosmic Sounds and The Astrology Album. The Zodiac offering featured Paul Beaver playing the Moog synthesizer in one of the first recordings released to feature that brand new electronic marvel. The Columbia disc is very heavy on narration (even advising what clothers to wear!), but had better stars! Just remember what The Cosmic Muffin said: "It's a wise man who rules the stars; it's a fool who's ruled by them." |
