I bought this album a few days ago. The record is green, and It came with a book about each song and how to help your plants depending on how they are looking. It also had a digital download card, and on the back it said it was made out of wild flower seeds, and that you can plant it and they will grow. Cutest shit ever.

It always makes me sad when i hear people refer to electronic music from the 90s as ''Old electronic music'' because it points to the sad fact that in a lot of ways electronic music from the 60s and 70s are just gone from the public consciousness, there are so many people out there who unironically think electronic music was invented in the 80s.

right? electronic music from the 70's and 80's was about utilizing synthesizers to make music in more traditional ways, it put the musicality at the forefront, from the 90's on it was either chopping up a sample and adding a beat or just being repetitive, i miss real electronic music

Back in early 2019, I owned a hamster, his name was Momo. He had very long fluffy fur and was peach-colored.🍑 I was very very dedicated to taking care of him as much as I could. The biggest cage I could build, the best food and water, stuffing, and all the enrichment I could give. Unfortunately, he fell ill due to an eye infection. My dad helped me with the medication and all the very expensive vet appointments. Yet Momo still continued to be sick no matter what I did. After an extremely stressful day of vet appointments and crying, I played this video out loud to help myself and hopefully ease Momo. Momo was in lots of pain due to intestinal bloating and I just wanted this to be easier. Not long after I found that Momo had passed away while I played Plantasia. I associate the song Plantasia with Momo and I would like to believe he passed away in his sleep while he listened. I know it may sound silly to be so worked up due to a rodent but I loved him very very much. Finally, after two years I listened to this again and had my final cry. I can now listen to this and be okay. 🧸💕 Edit 2023: I still cry to the first song but that's okay :)

[@CamilitaLOCAA]

i'm sorry about your loss, i'm sure you did what you could and Momo must've known you loved him so much :]

I've been trying to discover different music lately and I've overlooked how quickly the KZbin algorithm adapts. My homepage has officially turned into a gold mine. It was enough to just like a few albums for my entire homepage to be filled with albums. I'm definitely not complaining lol. Exploring with Spotify is also a great option, but KZbin is definitely better at adapting to what you're looking for and offering you as much as you don't want, whatever you're interested in. When I finish listening to the album, my transformation will be complete and I will start photosynthesizing. My fingers have already started to turn green under the influence of chlorophyll.

Plants are living and just like people or animals, react to their environment. A toxic environment leads to ill plants where a healthy nurturing one leads to happy plants.
