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 Clyne had 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 former Soft Machine
bassist Hugh Hopper and keyboard player Laurence Scott. By the time the
band s final album, Deep End was recorded in March 1976, the band
featured Boyle and Morris along with Dan K. Brown on bass and Zoe
Kronberger & Frank Robertson keyboards
