Isotope were one of the major (and earliest) British jazz-rock
bands of the 1970s, coming along chronologically only just
behind Soft Machine and Nucleus, the two UK pioneer bands in
the genre. Isotope was formed by guitarist Gary Boyle in 1972.
After about a year, the band signed with a major U.K.
management company who got the band signed to a independent
label which was owned by a film company and things really took
off. By the time of their second and best-known album,
Illusion, the band consisted of Gary, ex-Soft Machine bassist
Hugh Hopper keyboardist Laurence Scott and drummer Nigel
Morris. This version of the band lasted nearly 2 years and
played hundreds of shows. Golden Section is over 65' of all
unreleased material, taken from 3 different dates, all from
the period when Hugh was a part of the band and lent his
strongly distinctive style to the group; from the opening
notes of the album, it's readily apparent that Hugh is in the
house! More than half the CD is a program recorded by Radio
Bremen in Germany for broadcast. During this time, the band
included a fifth member, percussionist Aureo de Souza, who
played with the group for several months during spring/summer
1975 and added a definite Weather Report-inspired flair, but
whose tenure with the group has never before been documented
on record or heard! In addition to the music, Golden Section
includes a 12 page booklet with exclusive interviews with the
musicians, conducted by Aymeric Leroy, that gives an overview
of the entire history of the band and tells the full story of
the period covered by these recordings. Also included are
never-before seen photographs of the group.
"We played a lot of gigs with Isotope, touring all the time in
the UK and Europe and once in the States. The band had good
sponsorship and backing, and jazz-rock was almost desirable
for a few months in 1974-75! We were playing at least four or
five times a week, all the time. Isotope certainly was good
for me from the point of view of doing a lot of music. Since
we were gigging so much, I was probably playing with more
technical facility than when I was in Soft Machine."-Hugh
