"Part of what makes jazz unique is the interplay between the composed and improvised, an interplay compellingly explored in Dietrich Eichmann and Jeff Arnal's new CD The Temperature Dropped Again... Their intimacy with their instruments allows them to bring forth an array of fresh, unpredictable sounds; the music is alternately dissonant, meditative, industrial, lilting, explosive, and stark. In the first suite, "Pendulum" is a particularly lovely piece, simultaneously lyrical and free, and "Half Pint" works boldly with silence... They hold no particular limitations between music and sound; both are interested in dynamics and the use of space, and both explore the spare as well as the orchestral sides of their instruments. A playful element is at work as well; clearly they enjoy the process."

Florence Wetzel - All About Jazz / New York, June 2004
