Comoros / Expo 70
Live at Germ Books [CS; Sonic Meditations]

Definitely nothing wrong with sandwiching these two; Comoros (of whom the Fedora Corpse label also stems) and Expo 70 is one of the most appropriate pairings possible when you consider the scenic sprawl they both subscribe to. Live at Germ Books, dubbed in 2009, delivers what you’d expect if you’re in the fold. Comoros border on devilish, their droning guitar compositions never-ending. More of a prog influence than I remember between the lines on this one, and also more outright shredding. Was that for me? Expo 70 rock a drum machine, a bass player that never stops riffing, and crisper effects, such a busy recording you’d think 12 people were playing. I’m guessing this is just a guitarist and bassist, and these days, of course, that is of no import as we have the technology to loop our dreams together. Another triumph for both bands, a hearty helping of mind-bullets had by all, amen.
