Isophase is the third album from Trigona aka Rob Shiels, a psychedelic rock multi-instrumentalist from Queensland, Australia.

Building upon the dynamism of previous Trigona releases, Isophase is a more refined offering, harnessing the arrangement and recording skills that Rob has honed in the studio since his previous release.

Named after a Japanese bullet train, Nozomi starts off the album, propelled by driving bass and background synths, heightening a feeling of movement and speed.

Multi-layered Just like Saturn’s weaving guitars and bouncing bass are accompanied by a psychedelic reverse guitar breakdown, panned side-to-side to great effect.

A heavier track, Titan's Gate closes out Side 1, packing a punch with slide guitar, wah guitar lead and a slide guitar solo to boot.

The album’s heavier arc is continued on the first track of Side 2, with Orbital Way’s groovy, chugging riff giving way to a chaotic backwards guitar lead.

The meditative chant that kicks off Continuum is a counterpoint to the controlled freakout that follows, with wah-saturated lead guitar - reminiscent of Acid Mothers Temple - and chaotic, swirling tones ping-ponging across the stereo field.

Isophase ends with Redshift, a nine-minute bliss out of multi-tracked guitars, and choppy and droning guitar layers. The bass and drums hold the track together, with background mellotron rounding out the mix.

"If you’re a long-term fan of one or more of the participating groups or of modern acid rock in general, you won’t need much convincing to add this gem to your collection. But even if you’re completely unfamiliar with this whole scene, yet interested in dipping your toes into the wide world of spaced-out guitar music, I would highly recommend this idealized ISS homage as a gateway experience to the genre." my full review on Veil of Sound: https://veilofsound.com/2022/09/23/VA-ISS_Vol1.html Der Ohlsen
