Here are excerpts from reviews of Isobar V:
Expose Online
Not a dull moment to be found...mysterious twists and amazing melodies wrapped up in some progressive rock, a little funk and fusion...it's changing all the time, structurally, shifting meter, a cornucopia of melodic presence and wonderful ideas.
SaitenKult (Germany)
You can hear the intricate playfulness of Frank Zappa, and at other times the meticulous precision of Gentle Giant shines through. Jazz fusion is mixed in, sometimes even an almost classical rigor. Yet it never feels like a mere exercise. The pieces are full of twists and turns, but you always have the feeling that behind every turn lies a thoughtful consideration, not just a desire to show off.
Redàpolis Music (Italy)
Intricate interplay and counterpoint…different melodic lines chase, overlap, and intertwine through shifting time signatures and constant variations...For anyone who enjoys the more adventurous and sophisticated side of progressive rock—music that has no fear of crossing paths with jazz-rock, avant-garde ideas, and experimentation—Isobar are certainly a band worth keeping an eye on.
Babyblaue-Seiten (Germany)
On Isobar V, the band once again achieves the masterful and seemingly effortless stylistic fusion of polyphonic Gentle Giant and complex post-Crimson prog with the exciting melodic arcs of jazz-prog fusion and the occasional laid-back Canterbury sound...underpinned by mathematical discipline and perfect craftsmanship.
Flight of Pegasus (Greece)
The new album from the Californian quartet is a delight...playful and spirited...featuring delicately arranged phrases, the music showcases the genre's sophistication at its peak. Yet, there are moments that reveal contemplative depth—a measured progression toward something unfolding.
Betreutes Proggen (Germany)
The ten tracks flow seamlessly, with not a single weak moment to be found...you find yourself wanting to put the album on again and again!
