“Wright's
a true American electronic gem.” -Brainwashed
"Also
on the bill was Not Breathing, a Tuscon team that effortlessly
spun a mesmerizing stream of sound that metamorphosed from
an icy ambient opening to a fiery, churning finale."
-S.Masuo, LA Times
“[A]
maelstrom of tenacious electronics that joyfully disrupts
the sonic pathways. Infectious to the nth, as multiplied
by a googol.” -Outburn
Magazine
“[D]rove
me into sheer hysteria, as Dave Wright pushed my buttons
with chops the ‘big boys’ forgot existed.”
-Ink 19
"Not
Breathing has some sort of strange addictive quality that
I can't even pin-point.This is a bubbling, burbling, gurling,
crazy electronic stew of strangeness closest to artists
like the Orb and SuperCollider on one side, and the silly,
surrealistic, short attention span concrete noise nature
of A Small Good Thing and Violent Onsen Geisha on the other.”
-Supersphere
