  Journey through the Secret Life of Plants - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Journey through the Secret Life of Plants is an album by Stevie Wonder, originally released on the Tamla Motown label on October 30, 1979 (see 1979 in music).
It is the soundtrack to the documentary The Secret Life of Plants, directed by Walon Green and based on the book of the same name by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird.
Journey through the Secret Life of Plants contained unusual synthesizer combinations including the first use of a digital sampling synthesizer, the Computer Music Melodian, used in virtually every track of the album.

 fUSION Anomaly. The Secret Life Of Plants
The roots of plants, said France, burrow inquiringly into the earth, the buds and twigs swing in definite circles, the leaves and blossoms bend and shiver with change, the tendrils circle questingly and reach out with ghostly arms to feel their surroundings.
On these rootlets of a rye plant are fine root hairs estimated to number some 14 billion with a total length of 6,600 miles, almost the distance from pole to pole.
Plants seem to know which ants will steal their nectar, closing when these ants are about, opening only when there is enough dew on their stems to keep the ants from climbing.

Secret Life Of Plants was the record that critics and most of his fans just hated.
So, Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants is one of Stevie's more misunderstood and criminally underrated works, but it is an antonishing record that just takes you on a one-of-a-kind journey with amazing songs, top-notch arrangements, and mind-bending sounds.
Secret Life of Plants has some of his best singing as well, freed from trying to get a "hit." In my opinion, this sound cycle is one of the most important recordings of any genre made in the 20th century.

 The Secret Life of Plants - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Published in 1973, The Secret Life of Plants was written by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird.
Essentially, the subject of the book is the idea that plants may be sentient, despite their lack of a nervous system.
This sentience is observed primarily through changes in the plant's conductivity, as through a polygraph, as pioneered by Cleve Backster.

He was articulating the ideologies of Malcolm, Gil, et al; through the genius of his writings.
Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants which had to have been his most ambitious work ever, was not well received by the general populace, due in large part because it was off the beaten path.
Of the many albums that Stevie has produced over the many years, I have found that Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants was his best work ever.

Those thoughts are transmitted to the living, taking on a self-generating life of their own.
According to Webster’s dictionary, death is the act or fact of dying; permanent cessation of life in a person, animal or plant, in which all vital functions cease permanently.
When the body can no longer breathe in air or the breath of life into our lungs, we cease to be among the living.

JOURNEY THROUGH THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS was Stevie Wonder's attempt to create a concept album about the life of plants.
While SECRET LIFE doesn't rank with such Wonder classics as TALKING BOOK or INNERVISIONS,it has aged rather well and features some exceptionally fine music, including the romantic hit single "Send One Your Love".
If it does'nt make you want to grow plants, travel the world or have children of you own to play it to then your stereo is broken.

 Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants by Stevie Wonder CD
Presumably humbled by the poor response to this album, Wonder never again tried to make as bold an artistic statement as JOURNEY THROUGH THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS and he has since concentrated on the upbeat, R&B-infused pop that has made him so successful for more than three decades.
It was the last of the line of his greatest albums that began with "Fulfillingess" and ended, some think, as "Songs In The Key Of Life".
This is the one that comes after that monster smash chronologically, and it belongs in the group.

 Boston.com / News / Local / Justice, with a little jazz
It's come years after the courthouse on the waterfront opened in 1998, an add-on aimed at minimizing an acoustical quirk that lets jurors and spectators hear everything lawyers and judges say during secret sidebar conversations that are supposed to be out of earshot.
The problem is with the shallow domes cut into the center of courtroom ceilings, an architectural flourish that produced acoustics that were just too good.
One of the problems with "Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants" is the first piece has deep bass sounds.

 pc muñoz | recording artist/producer
Personally, I find Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants to be aurally stimulating, surprising, and thoroughly enjoyable.
Whether you understand the lyrics to "Black Orchid" to be a literal paean to the fabled flower in the title, or a metaphorical celebration of Black feminine beauty, the overall effect of the song, centered by Stevie's vocal, is somehow both stately and highly emotional.
That spirit is all over Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants, from the unique arrangements and sounds, to the unusual vocal approach on some of the tunes, to the (of course) always-soulful drum tracks.

 Botch's Office - The Two Best Albums I've Purchased Recently
The first album is Stevie Wonder's Journey Through The Secret Life of Plants.
This is really sad, I think, because from Music Of My Mind through Songs In The Key Of Life, Stevie Wonder continued to grow, develop and explore his musical world.
Secret Life of Plants is in many ways the culmination of that journey, and if the public had followed where Stevie led, I think it's very possible that today's soul would be in a much more creative place.

 [No title]
Though smaller scaled and rougher than Songs in the Key of Life and Journey through the Secret Life of Plants, Stevie Wonder's Hotter than July is no less macrocosmic in its outlook.
After the quasi-symphonic puffery of Journey through the Secret Life of Plants, Wonder's music has tightened and toughened into a roiling pop-funk that hits several fiery grooves.
If Hotter than July doesn't rank with Wonder's greatest albums (Innervisions, Talking Book, Songs in the Key of Life), it certainly shows that the thread of his genius wasn't seriously unraveled by the pantheistic peregrinations of Journey through the Secret Life of Plants.

 Hotter Than July - Stevie Wonder - Song Listings
Four years after the pinnacle of Stevie Wonder's mid-'70s typhoon of classic albums, Hotter Than July was the proper follow-up to Songs in the Key of Life (his Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants concept record was actually a soundtrack to an obscure movie that fared miserably in theaters)....
While admittedly there are a few less-than-standard tracks, he closes the album on an amazing high note with one of the most aching ballads in his canon ("Lately") and a touching anthem to civil rights pioneer Martin Luther King, Jr.
While most definitely not on the same tier as Innervisions or Songs in the Key of Life, Hotter Than July is the portrait of an artist who still had the Midas touch, but stood at the crossroads of an illustrious career.

She furiously examines the record sleeve for some explanation of this madness, as if some random backup singer’s name would somehow justify this thing she had just purchased, at double record price no less.
But after a seventeen-year career of doing the same sort of music over and over, an original score offered him a chance to expand his talents into a completely new realm of composition.
Based on the book by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, the documentary The Secret Life of Plants posits the thought that plants can actually feel emotions and are more sentient than anyone had ever considered.

This is possibly a good thing, considering the last major artist to use a garden theme in a concept album was Stevie Wonder in Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants in 1979, and look where that got him.
There have been rock moments all through her career; it’s not like it’s such a rarity and that no one saw it coming.
To build her earliest recordings took her through emotional and physical depths that most people would never want to contemplate first-hand.

It did not help that the movie was not generally released, hence the public never had a chance to see the movie and appreciate and understand the soundtrack as intended by Stevie.
As expected the music was a complete evolution in style, surpassing in scale anything he had since produced.
He incorporated much symphonic musical styles, blending African, Indian and Japanese music also in the fray, showing the diverse life and understandings of plants from various cultures worldwide.
