We consider Expo '70 one of the most interesting musician of the North America's new kosmische music scene and with this album he continues his travel into a sound made of hypnotic vibes, ecstasy and cosmic oneness. The two tracks of the album are played with synth, guitar, analogue electronics and percussions and trough a wise use of repetitons and loops they are able to conduce into altered
(More here ) On the 19th of January 2012, a zillion innocent songs faced obliteration . They had been caught in the middle of a battle pitting a Mount Rushmore of severe lawyerly faces, pockmarked with threatening takedown tendrils, and the khaki lords of the cloud, bloated by the windfall of a thousand network effects. No-one cared for the songs. They had long lived miserable existences locked in the zip cells of a cybernetic prison, crammed between adverts for scantily dressed ladies and pills supposedly [...]
Justin Wright's Expo 70 project has been pushing experimental, drone and Kosmiche Musik to new realms for nearly a decade now. Constant touring and a string of critically acclaimed albums released on labels such as Kill Shaman, Beta-lactam Ring, Peasant Magik, Aguirre, and Wright's own Sonic Meditations label have clearly brought Expo 70's name to the forefront of modern drone and Kosmiche

Two extended (inter)zone-outs by Justin Wright, recorded live on tour in late 2078. A-side 'Hynotic Brain Cloud Float' was captured at Zebulon Bar, New York, accompanied by visuals from the film Fantastic Planet. At the start you can even hear cash registers ringing in the background, and we're soon transported far away from civilization and into an utterly deserted dronescape, a plangently

Seit nem halben Jahr ist "Where Does Your Mind Go?" von Expo '70 die perfekte Platte zum Abdriften und Eindösen. SpaceAmbient, der ins All schiesst und doch zu einem selbst zurückführt. Grad mal eine kreative Nacht hat der Experimentalmusiker Justin Wright (in Zusammenarbeit mit Matt Hill aka Umberto) gebraucht, um den Schall ausm All zu vier Klangteppichen zu verweben, die sich während 70 Minuten im Kopf des Hörers zum neuen Kosmos ausrollen. Wie Sterne werden Gedanken und Weltbilder aus dem Nichts geboren; manche glänzen fix um die Wette, die meisten aber erlöschen [...]
seem to be doing this shit in pairs just now... two massive fuck-off acid (in every sense) live jams from expo '70. in numbers: two sides, two thirty one minute sets from ithaca and manhattan, october ought nine, two fellas (justin wright, matt hill), two guitars, one korg, one moog, one drum machine. it's as bad-ass as semi-drone gets. it's as gentle and exploratory as this sorta psych metal shenanigans gets. but reductive and lazy, descriptively. [...]

![[Stars on C-30] Rambling thoughts on Herbcraft, Expo 70 and the cassette resurgence](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3087837_lg.jpg)
Tape labels are abundant these days, as are new cassette releases, and Stars on C-30 includes reviews of some of these releases, the occasional band or label profile, and a look at the culture surrounding cassettes. Let's face it, when you name your label Fuck It Tapes , you've instantly raised the bar for anything you release. With a name like that you quickly come to the conclusion, how can anything they release be bad? Fortunately, I have yet to have a bad experience with Fuck It Tapes. As the cassette arm of [...]
Friends, Invalids, Basement-dwelling agoraphobics, lend me your ears! It's time for another Sunday Mix Tape, and have I ever got "the goods" for you. You've probably been asking yourselves why I am not posting daily MP3s anymore, or why the treasures from my collector's slum have been few and far between these past few weeks. The reason is, I've been advised to watch what I post in regards to the music I often share here. Cryptic, yes, but I am not really one to test boundaries. So until further notice there might be less music than many of you click [...]
Sufjan Stevens Hey Chicago! Like most other weekends in our fair city, there's no shortage of music.

FRIDAY SUFJAN STEVENS [...]
Rockshows to Know will be our attempt to regularly list shows that are of interest to us and probably you as well, mostly in and around the Louisville area, and will often be accompanied by sample MP3s. Let's get started with the most time-sensitive gig, which is tonight... make plans... Tonight at Skull Alley (1017 E Broadway), get meditative with a solo show from Grails' multi-instrumentalist Zak Riles . Essential listening for followers of Important Records who favor the likes of Grails and James Blackshaw, not to mention Popol Vuh. Heavy-hitters David [...]
Justin Wright, with some help here from frequent collaborator Matt Hill, laid down another massive swath of kosmiche landscapes in the form of Where Does Your Mind Go? . The fact that the four, side-long epics traverse some of the most sonically fluid vibes Wright has yet to catch on tape would be impressive enough, but that he recorded these four epics plus enough material for a companion piece ( Journey Through Astral Projection to also be released on Immune) in one night is downright astounding. This marks one of the first times Wright has strayed out of [...]
![Expo 70 [The Vanishing World Within, Solid Melts]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2840903_lg.jpg)
The experimental record The Vanishing World Within Expo 70 has been re-released on Solid Melts and limited to 100 black cobalt tapes which can be summer up best below: Comprised of skeletal recordings started over a year ago, finally finished. "The Vanishing World Within" presented in five phases, cultivates a body of sounds new and familiar for Expo '70. "Phase I" is a lesson in meditation with reverberating organ drones cascades into "Phase II" where things get weird with pulsating synths and textured tonal waves of [...]

Acoustic-like psych drones.
Solid Melts, a Lawrence, Kansas label with tapes under their belts from the likes of Expo 70, Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk, and a handful of other midwesterners, just announced a wide-open summer sampler that pulls from across these great United States, with 25 tracks from recent faves C V L T S, BFFs Coasting, New Joisy's Julian Lynch in destructo mode, Philly's Hermit Thrushes, names that remain only legends to us (Back To The Future The Ride!) and even better, total mysteries (Yuppies are pret...
