Wikipedia:
Isotope 217° is a Chicago based band composed mainly of members from Tortoise and the Chicago Underground Orchestra that was formed in 1997. The New York Times described the band as "..adept to varying degrees at rock and funk and jazz and electronics, turn those introspective moments into jams that are messier and warmer than Tortoise's."Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page, but the references will not show without a {{reflist}} template (see the help page).
