Welcome to the wonderful world of Expo '70, where everything sounds quite familiar, but isn't always quite what it seems. The first thing that popped up in my brain when I first put this live album on (besides trippin' balls) was that it felt quite similar to the psychedelic soundscapes of The Taj-Mahal Travellers; long drawn out pieces based in drone with constantly manipulated noises. The Double Leopards did something quite similar before him, but I believe Expo '70 has mastered this type of music. I for example has odd sounds surfacing sporadically throughout as a gloomy, fuzzy drone carries the piece way out into the stratosphere. II is quite similar except that it is drenched in delay and slightly creepier with it's shimmering background drone. III is a much shorter piece with tons of scraping and buzzing alien sounds that could give Birchville Cat Motel a run for his money. This is available both as part of a rare box set and by itself. |
