Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut album from British jazz-rock ensemble Isotope introduces the blazing guitar work of Gary Boyle alongside the intricate keyboard compositions of Brian Miller. Closely aligned with the Canterbury Scene, the record delivers hyper-kinetic, rhythmically complex instrumentals that nod towards the intense fusion of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. It established the band as formidable technical players within the bustling 70s British jazz-rock landscape.
