Isotope 217 is made up of Dan Bitney, John Herndon, and Jeff Parker from Tortoise, along with Rob Mazurek (Chicago Underground, Exploding Star Orchestra) and Matt Lux (Iron & Wine). The music of Isotope 217 is as complex and varied as the influences of its members. Isotope 217 on Isotope 217: “It is hard to state exactly what this band is because of the diverse influences of the participants. One might say an eclectic avant funk ensemble dedicated to the Phonometric system of universal thought. One might also say a freewheeling trans- molecular unit dedicated to the betterment of all worlds.” “Drawing from free jazz, hard bop, funk, dub and post-rock, without resulting in some featureless muddle or lifeless ‘fusion’, the group’s aesthethic simultaneously recalls different aspects of early 70s musical experimentation: The Art Ensemble of Chicago, ‘Bitches Brew’/’On the Corner’-era Miles Davis, and vintage King Tubby. Isotope 217 don’t merely assemble these diverse elements in one place, but rather explore the common ground that already underlies them: a shared emphasis on texture, timbre, space, and groove” – The Wire “On Isotope 217’s impressive debut Mazurek works wonders alongside Sara P. Smith’s elastic, earthy trombone, adding particularly Cherry-like phrase fragments on ‘Beneath the Undertow’ and laying slow tones over busy rhythms. Tortoise percussionists Dan Bitney and John Herndon weave together acoustic and synthetic rhythms while bassist Matt Lux holds steady. Parker is rarely in the spotlight, but his presence is huge-he lurks in the background, subtly coloring the proceedings, sneaking in a deadly wah-wah groove on ‘Phonometrics’, the hardest-funkin’ cut” – Chicago Reader “Dense, hypnotic grooves clash with improvisation to create something methodical, yet thoroughly organic” – CMJ Artist Isotope 217 Genre Leftfield / Experimental Label Thrill Jockey Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings Kryptonite Smokes the Red Line Beneath the Undertow La Jeteé Phonometrics Prince Namor Audio Boxing Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Leftfield / Experimental View Product Quick View Wolf Eyes Slicer Electronica | Orion Read | 1LP Released 11th September 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wolf Eyes Slicer £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Orion Read SKU: OR-14LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Third Eye Foundation, The Wake The Dead Leftfield / Experimental | Ici DAilleurs | 1LP Released 30th March 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Third Eye Foundation, The Wake The Dead £19.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Ici DAilleurs SKU: IDA119LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Spooky Tooth / Pierre Henry Ceremony: An Electronic Mass Electronica | Island | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 24th June 2021 £30.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Spooky Tooth / Pierre Henry Ceremony: An Electronic Mass £30.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Island SKU: nn225707 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 24th June 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View La Batteria La Batteria Leftfield / Experimental | Penny Records | 1LP Released 20th January 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders La Batteria La Batteria £16.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Penny Records SKU: PENNY3304LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th January 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Barry Adamson, Pan Sonic & The Hafler Trio The Hymn Of The 7th Illusion Leftfield / Experimental | Cold Spring Records | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 15th December 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Barry Adamson, Pan Sonic & The Hafler Trio The Hymn Of The 7th Illusion £21.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Cold Spring Records SKU: CSR241LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 15th December 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Visible Cloaks Reassemblange Leftfield / Experimental | RVNG Intl | 1LP Released 17th February 2017 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Visible Cloaks Reassemblange £23.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: RVNG Intl SKU: RVNGNL37LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Daniela Lalita Trececerotres Leftfield / Experimental | Young | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 7th October 2022 £11.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Daniela Lalita Trececerotres £11.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Young SKU: YO258T Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 7th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Richard Youngs Modern Sorrow Leftfield / Experimental | Black Truffle | 1LP Released 31st March 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Richard Youngs Modern Sorrow £26.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Black Truffle SKU: BLACKTRUFFLE101 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Classixx Faraway Reach Leftfield / Experimental | Innovative Leisure | 1LP Released 3rd June 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Classixx Faraway Reach £19.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Innovative Leisure SKU: IL2038V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Terry Riley In C Leftfield / Experimental | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 4th January 2019 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Terry Riley In C £22.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVCL039 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Leftfield / Experimental Start again
