Space rock. There's another thing we used to sell loads of and probably still do but I'm so out of touch I don't have a feckin' clue anymore. This is drifty ambience with twiddly guitar added on top. Reminiscent of 70's dreamers such as Ash Ra Temple, Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno and it has to be said Pink Floyd. The ol' synth 'n' twiddle though just reminds me of the worst excesses of 70's progressive music so I'd better leave this well alone. I'm sure it will sound much better if you are completely monged on some pipe or other.

• Since 2003 Justin Wright’s Expo 70 project has been pushing drone and Kosmiche Musik to new realms, creating a layered world of sound that brings the listener to alien lands and foreign terrain while maintaining a dreamlike quality with shifting melodies and moods. Constant touring and a string of critically acclaimed albums released on labels such as Kill Shaman, Beta-lactam Ring, and Peasant Magik have clearly brought Expo 70’s name to the forefront of modern drone and Kosmiche Musik.

• ‘Where Does Your Mind Go?’ was recorded at Black Dirt Studios by Jason Meagher (No Neck Blues Band, D. Charles Speer and The Helix).

• Limited to 500 copies pressed on high quality virgin vinyl at RTI and housed in an old-style tip- on gatefold jacket printed by Stoughton. Included is a coupon for DRM-free MP3 download.

• Expo 70 have previously released albums on Kill Shaman, Beta-lactam Ring, and Peasant Magik.

• “The smoky thickness of the guitar/Moog/organ/drumbox recall the phosphorescent ghost mystery Laurence Cook used to embody when he’d drape a sheet over his head and drum kit, then flail sideways into the the gaping yawp of the 0-mind. The music here is like a private lightshow in your bedroom” - The Wire.
