"....+ A hypnotic stream of partly electronic keyboard sounds and distorted guitars, vibraphone and marimba, strings and wind instruments as well as in their presence and absence equally dense, sometimes even pathetic percussion. The dynamics range from loud aggression to darkest silence, without losing even one iota of intensity in these transitions. The force of this album should not be underestimated, the compelling immediacy of the music is immense.

The integration of the two sound bodies Isildurs Bane and Peter Hammill once again  Because this artistic connection is what is called in English a match made in heaven, and already their first album "In Amazonia" turned out, after it was expected with excitement, as the expected sensation. A universe, my colleague Harald Schmidt called it, and a stroke of genius. Well, it wouldn't surprise me if he would use the same two attributes in a review of "In Disequilibrium".

The music is - again - almost inescapably atmospheric. A hypnotic stream of partly electronic keyboard sounds and distorted guitars, vibraphone and marimba, strings and wind instruments as well as in their presence and absence equally dense, sometimes even pathetic percussion. The dynamics range from loud aggression to darkest silence, without losing even one iota of intensity in these transitions. The force of this album should not be underestimated, the compelling immediacy of the music is immense.

The integration of the two sound bodies Isildurs Bane and Peter Hammill once again works so perfectly, the fusion so seamless, that one almost forgets that both can also exist separately. Isildurs Bane contribute all their stylistic elements, from artpop to prog to neoclassic and avant-garde, Hammill on the other hand, always open to experimentation, contributes his idiosyncratic, exalted vocals, whose range extends from crude spoken word performances to "proper" singing, sometimes even with consequential melodies.

Despite all the force, "In Disequilibrium" also offers numerous quiet passages, in which the band and singer are not too shy to make extremely lyrical music. However, the participants always manage with ease to never let such moments become trivial. They preserve the intensity of their music even then, be it through an idiosyncratic melodic line, an instrument that subversively undermines the harmony, or through an arrangement rich in tension that sometimes allows sharp sonic contrasts to clash.

Isildurs Bane and Peter Hammill are brilliant at merging these sometimes quite heterogeneous elements into a surprisingly homogeneous music, the kind that can only be created when those involved bring a high degree of skill and experience to the table. Far away from the usual attempts to create similar atmospheres with the help of studio technology, noise and mere sound design, Isildurs Bane and Peter Hammill create moods between melancholy, anxiety, fear and darkness by musical means alone. The fact that they succeed in creating all these different atmospheres without much studio trickery is proof of the compositional as well as playful skills of all involved.The result is a wonderful album full of graceful feeling, majestic pathos and compelling uneasiness, which always sounds unusual, always close to the borderline between rock and art...§!"
