Genre: Jazz rock
Places I remember: Slow Boat Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Illusion
Gear costume: Lily Kong
Active compensatory factors: British jazz-rock outfit Isotope produced a great second album with new members joining guitarist Gary Boyle. In fact, it was their second album of 1974!

Most notably they included bassist Hugh Hopper from Soft Machine. He has quite a signature bass sound and this anchors the sound for Boyle and Laurence Scott on keyboards to shoot off in almost jam style improvisations.
The absence of vocals helps this become a terrific album, perfectly formed with shorter form jazz-rock songs.
Where do they all belong? An excellent example of jazz-rock at its best and another terrific album to mark student work by.
