Description/Reviews:

In Disequilibrium consists of two contrasting suites that flow with surging melodic themes, sinuous guitar, intricate arrangements for mallet instruments, sinuous woodwind, sumptuous orchestral detailing, organic textures, and bracing rhythmic counterpoints.

In fact, everything you would expect from one of the leading Scandinavian progressive rock chamber ensembles that effortlessly mixes tightly composed pieces with supple, free-ranging virtuosity.

Description/Reviews: 

Focusing on keyboards (from Mellotron, Moog and ARP to software), the album combines elements of Prog, Fusion, Electronica and contemporary Classical music.
 As a yin to the synthesiser's yang, the album makes frequent use of acoustic instruments such as woodwinds, trumpet and percussion.
 Fans of Isildurs Bane will recognise Mats Johansson's distinctive compositional traits, while appreciating Off The Radar as something new in IB's 40 plus years of music making.

Comprising six songs composed by IB's musical director and keyboard player Mats Johansson and Steve Hogarth, the richly detailed recordings feature tuned percussion, strings, woodwind, brass and voices, and within an integrated suite-like album structure.
Both a departure for Steve Hogarth and a stunning return for Isildur's Bane, the album incorporates elements of Rock, traditional music, Jazz and contemporary Classical in one brilliantly unified world.
