The band was formed in 1973 by guitarist GARY BOYLE and also featured JEFF CLYNE on Bass, BRIAN MILLER on Keyboards and NIGEL MORRIS on drums. Jeff Clynehad previously played with Ian Carr's Nucleus, whilst Gary Boyle had played with Stomu Yamashta's East Wind.Isotope's self titled debut album was released in early 1974 and continued the tradition of Jazz Rock fusion that had been pioneered by acts such as Tony Williams Lifetime and The Mahavishnu Orchestra. Although critically acclaimed, Brian Miller and Jeff Clyne departed Isotope shortly after the debut album had appeared and were replaced by formerSOFT MACHINE bassist HUGH HOPPER and keyboard player LAURENCE SCOTT. This line-up recorded the excellent album Illusion with former Family member Poli Palmer producing. A Jazz Rock classic, this Esoteric Recordings reissue has been newly re-mastered and features a booklet with new essay."
