Synopsis

Album Description

A deep quivering of transcendental electronic mantras pulsates to the patient beat of the third Bardo. Slow, shape-shifting ambiences expand like groaning baritone crystals crawling out from sub-oceanic ooze. Six string psychedelic spews bisect the curve of extraterrestrial buzz with a surprising terrestrial fluidity until bioluminescent fish gather to choke out quiet hymns around the then sinking sepulcher of gurgling synthetics as they pierce to the deepest part of inner space. From Ohms to Oms. Amen.

CD Reviews

The good, the ugly

David M. Madden | salt lake, utah United States | 11/03/2008

(3 out of 5 stars)

"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. When Justin Wright aka Expo '70 is on, he's totally on, as is evident on "Emerald Fanged Dancer", a "something old, something new" Arp-like sequence of delayed microtones, clicking pulses and studio hum guided by consonant and dissonant reactions. However, the second Wright picks up an electric guitar and plucks along with a delay pedal, his music turns into cinematic filler. Sadly, Black Ohms is equal parts of these two elements, the moments of beauty and expertise overshadowed by dithered cliché (you have a skip button, though)."
