The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds
''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 a collaborative concept album on the theme of the signs of the Zodiac. It was issued by Elektra Records in May 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"''〔(Trevor J. Pinch, ''Analog Days: The Invention and Impact of the Moog Synthesizer'' )〕 and ''"apt to inspire more giggle fits than stoned, pull-the-shades-down reveries"''〔(Answers.com )〕
==Concept==
The idea began in 1967 with Jac Holzman, the head of Elektra Records, which had just gained major success with The Doors' debut album. Holzman had the initial concept for the album, and hired Alex Hassilev, a member of The Limeliters, to produce it. Hassilev in turn brought in Mort Garson, with whom he had just formed a production company, to write the music. Hassilev and Garson had planned to do a series of concepts following ''Cosmic Sounds''. Garson wrote music for one of the other intended albums, ''The Sea'', but Rod McKuen, who was supposed to have been on the project, left and did his own version with Anita Kerr. Hassilev temporarily left the project to produce The Dusk 'Till Dawn Orchestra's ''Sea Drift'' album, which incorporated part of The Sea's intended theme.〔(Reissue liner notes by Richie Unterberger )〕
