2 stars Justin Wright aka Expo '70: Kinetic Tones (2015) a four track release, track by track:

Static Harmony, an eleven minutes minimalist (a lᡠPhillip Glass extra slow mutations) essay or drone piece ( a lᡠFripp & Eno) may well be this work weakest composition. Although well constructed it is far from being original. **

Eidetic Memory follows and it raises the bar drastically with an enticing underwater like Krautrock dive into the heights of cosmic electronic music. Its apparent simplicity eventually and without no rush reaches deep, bright & dark tones as it develops counterponting harmonic contrasts between its few but well structured elements. ****

Lucid Landscapes, travels into the grounds of early electronic music experimentation blended with a dreamy/ industrial background soundscape. Although promising it stays short of actually stepping up to its self imposed task. ***

Ascension, the last track, could well be Expo '70 take on the great Ash Ra Tempel music idiom. Well achieved but been there heard that. **/*

Adding and substracting for a 2.5 stars album.
