About this album

Deep End is a compact but accomplished statement of jazz-rock fusion from Isotope, balancing instrumental precision with a strong sense of groove. Released in 1976, the album sits firmly in the mid-’70s fusion era, when British and American players were pushing jazz harmony into harder-edged rock structures. Across pieces such as Mr. M’s Picture, Crunch Cake and Attila, the band combines agile musicianship, tight ensemble writing and a restless electric tone that keeps the music moving. It is a fine example of the style’s crossover ambition: technically assured, but aimed as much at energy and momentum as at virtuosity.
