Drum 'n' bass duo produced albums for Spiritualized & Everything But the Girl (Walking Wounded) who caught the attention of the jazzbods with the release of 68 Million shades? (Island 1996) with their use of strings, hornlines, and electronics. SALES POINTS: * Spring Heel Jack mark another step in their evolution away from their jungle roots. * Their fourth contribution to Thirsty Ear's Blue Series. * Their most unabashedly beautiful album yet, showcasing the elegant phrasing of Wadada Leo Smith on trumpet and Evan Parker on Saxophone, accompanied by John Edwards? meaty and textural bass playing and the sensitive drumming of Mark Sanders. * These guys are jazz listeners. Just as Miles reconfigured Tin Pan Alley, Coxon and Wales rethink dance music. * What jazz fans despise about smooth jazz, the predictable construction of songs, and the easy listening drum machines, is not existent here. * They mix the unexpected instead of the obvious. Fans of Bill Laswell, Steve Reich, Jon Hassell, and Brian Eno will dig this disc, as will listeners of the early electronic pioneers PR - PRESS - Observer Music Magazine August issue - out late July Stuart Nichlson review - Jazzwise review in August issue - Jazz On 3 - Review in July Cd round-uop (they are big fans) - Guardian - John fordham 'Jazz CD Of The Week ' for 12/08/09 - or after release (depends what else is around) - Time Out - John lewis to do a shortcut in week for 12/08/09 MORE INFORMATION: www.thirstyear.com'

"compelling, ruminative freeform jazz with a pleasingly punky delivery - often, based around simple, repetitive, one-chord loops, suggestin the influence of Indian Classical music. - John Lewis Time Out
