Minimalist and trance-inducing to the core, Black Ohms is space music at its best, subtle and tripped out without being aimless, and is sure to appeal to fans of Fear Falls Burning, Robert Rich, and Steve Roach.

For every master of the field of so-called drone music, there are 1000 more that try and don't seem to get it. You can't just turn on a machine and hope to come up with interesting textures (if you can, God bless you), a compelling use of or ignorance to harmony, development/stasis and, most importantly, a unique personality that sets you apart from the imitators.
Raven Sings the Blues on Black Ohms

Hauntingly dark and practically filling your nostrils with the inky night, this set of songs reverberates the desperation and unease of the surrounding void. Not quite as krauty as some of his past work but still an unheralded masterpiece of ambient psych. Wright's been making further waves out of Kansas City, not only in his dealings with Kill Shaman but now also in recording local acts like current RSTB faves Mystical Beast.

Baby Sue/LMNOP Review of Black Ohms
post a comment | posted Nov 25
Expo '70 is Justin Wright...another experimental noise artist whose music plays at several levels beneath conventional radar systems. If you are into droning electronic music...Black Ohms is probably one of the most consistent drones. Fans of commercial and/or musical releases will have absolutely no interest in this album...and that is sad, because they are probably the ones who need it the most.

Hitting all our buttons until we go 'ow' - 'Black Ohms' is in essence a monolithic wide screen sonically glacial canvas that's been detailed and fractured into six mind morphing miniatures and finds Wright utilising all manner of guitar trickery, improvisations and process techniques along with a short and brief composition arranged around the Moog as well a solitary collaboration with Missouri based minimalist Matt Hill.

If you are willing to wait and keep listening eventually your music will find you. It will come to you from sometimes unlikely sources. A few seconds overheard on the radio blasting from a passing car. A snatch of melody on some jukebox in a bar. Maybe it's a friend who loans you a disc and says, "I think you'll dig this". Whatever the byways and highways that lead your music to you, you'll recognize it as your own almost immediately.

From Kansas City hails Justin Wright, as Expo '70. He started in 2003 by playing the guitar to create drones with delay and repeat pedals. Be Invisible Now! is Marco Giotti from Italy, who does perhaps the same, but has more rhythm to it. They met over the internet and release here a split CD, two tracks each (divided over a side A and a side B on the cover, but that was never idea that worked well, I think).

Eccellente confezione dal gusto retrò per uno dei dischi più interessanti dell'anno: sulla carta è "solo" uno split con quattro tracce, ma si tratta di qualcosa di coerente ed efficace a partire dalle immagini per arrivare ai suoni.

La beauté de ces disques est bien qu'ils ne tentent jamais d'être pop, mais parviennent tout de même à toucher droit au coeur, débordant d'une naïveté dont on ne veut surtout pas savoir si elle est feinte ou calculée. On ne veut croire qu'une chose, qu'une chose unique : qu'en écoutant ce disque, des démons et des apparitions et des fantômes et des anges finiront par surgir , juste là.
