This Esoteric Recordings edition is the debut release of the album on vinyl, and Peter Hammill has prepared a new mix specifically for the LP format which remains a seamless experience, albeit divided in to one part per side. The album has been cut at Abbey Road studios and includes a gatefold lyric insert. Originally released in 2004 on CD only, 'Incoherence' was formed of 14 songs that were all linked together to form one continuous piece of music, the first time in many years that Peter Hammill had taken this approach. All the pieces had a common lyrical focus on miscommunication and failures of language. Upon it's release, the album was highly praised by both fans and critics and is one of Peter's most acclaimed later works.
