Expo '70

Exploring the music of Justin Wright (aka Expo '70) is like travelling back in time while keeping your feet firmly planted in the present. It's hard to explain, but deep within these droning, psychedelic soundscapes lies the soul of a sixties tape composer with a taste for the weird. Wright's regular weapons are the all-time classic Moog synthesizer and a guitar, but what he does with (to?) these is quite unorthodox and the results are simply out of this world. The most incredible thing is that, although this music is almost exclusively drone-based, I can assure you it will please music fans from every possible background. The comparisons and influences are limitless as Expo '70 sounds, to these ears, like the perfect compendium of every possible music genre out there; just like mixing red, green and blue will create white, mixing every possible type of music will give you Expo '70! It's all scientifically proven.

Imagine yourselves Boards Of Canada collaborating with Thomas Köner and Ash Ra Tempel, or La Monte Young jamming with Cluster and SunnO))) and you've got a fair idea of what this all sounds like. You name it and I could probably hear it in the music. Yet, regardless of all these influences, Expo '70 remains a unique act and one I'll be keeping my eyes on from now on as I am now a devout fan.

Once again, it's the fine folk at Aquarius Records that brought this artist to my attention. I gave the samples a listen and immediately had to find out more, so I paid a visit to the artist's website, listened to the mp3s and it was a done deal: I NEEDED this! Unfortunately, I was pretty broke back then so it took a few months before I went ahead and ordered everything I could get. I can't stop listening to these albms ever since they've been in my possession. Every time I put one on, I get sucked into this artificial vortex where time, matter and sound isn't always what it seems.
