The Wozard Of Iz
''The Wozard of Iz: An Electronic Odyssey'' is a 1968 album of electronic music composed and realized by Mort Garson and conceived and written by Jacques Wilson. It psychedelically parodies the 1939 film '' The Wizard of Oz'', setting the characters in the 1960s with a hippie mindset. Throughout the story the main character, Dorothy, seeks out "where it's at". The album was released the year following another collaboration between Garson and Wilson, '' The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds'', a concept album issued by Elektra Records. Production In a 1969 interview, Garson admitted that he hadn't used the Moog synthesizer in "a very sophisticated way" for his 1967 album, '' The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds.'' However, by the time of ''The Wozard of Iz'', he had learned most of the techniques for using the instrument.
