This is music that moves the body. Not to dance, but internally, through its tapping into the body’s biorhythms and reconfiguring their timings. Long, low, undulating tones encircle and envelope the listener’s very soul, while an array of chimes clatter deep in a cavern of reverb far below a deep molecular rhythm. At times, as on ‘III’, the easy flow is interrupted by discord, a hectic flurry or bells assail a spiralling didgeridoo that builds into a swirling vortex of vertiginous noise that sends tremors through every fibre of the listener’s being. At times unsettling and abrasive, ‘Equilibrium’ nevertheless is an album of balance that produces good vibrations.
