		The Spring Heel Jack project was launched in 1994 by the duo of John Coxon, ex guitarist for Spiritualized and Ashley Wales, ex collaborator of Shock Headed Peters, and soon established themselves at the helm of "ambient jungle", a melodic and atmospheric take on drum'n'bass fundamentals.

		Spring Heel Jack make a point of following the most daring and contorted route, as in the surreal ballet of Duel, where structure arises from the primordial fire of the saxophone, via the piano's minimalistic repetition and the apocalyptic drumming.

	Spring Heeled Jack Page
		Not surprisingly Spring Heel Jack caused a wave of panic to spread not only across 19th century London but the whole country, the result being that any odd occurrence was quickly attributed to him, and local traditional bogey men often eclipsed or absorbed into the new stereotype.
		Jack may have been a term for the Devil for some, as was the more familiar 'Old Nick', but the indications are that many held a dark fascination with the figure, perhaps informed by the less 'demonic' and more 'pagan' associations of 'Jack lore'.
		The Spring Heeled Jack scare remains a mystery, and the reader is thus left to draw their own conclusions, hopefully not too biased by the dogmas of either religion or scientism.

		Spring Heel Jack are always being told their music sounds like a soundtrack to a spy movie.
		Disappeared is very different from SHJ's previous work on the surface, but at the bottom there's still the same soul, the same je ne sais quoi that makes Spring Heel Jack so indefatigable and so inimitable.
		But Spring Heel Jack is nothing if not dark, and these, like all their songs, are best envisioned as a David Lynch nightmare, originating somewhere deep in the heart of a pine forest at night, eerie and still and shrouded in shadow yet crawling with mystery.

	Spring Heel Jack: Amassed - PopMatters Music Review
		John Coxon and Ashley Wales, the talents behind Spring Heel Jack, have certainly thrown many of their listeners for a loop with their recent outings.
		The results demonstrate that Shipp is realizing his vision of creating a sound that, not unlike that of the early ECM catalog, created a synthesis of deep jazz roots fused with more open, somewhat avant-garde playing.
		While Spring Heel Jack and most of the musicians on their last two albums are more fiercely avant-garde than those in the early ECM catalog, the concept is somewhat similar, and equally successful.

		I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise from this brilliantly innovative band, but Spring Heel Jack's seventh CD is one of the best instrumental albums you are likely to hear this year.
		The variety gives each of Spring Heel Jack's songs a dramatic advantage over their peers' material, keeping listeners attentive and eager for the next beat.
		If you don't own any of Spring Heel Jack's music yet, this is probably the best place to start; the new treasures found here don't rest upon the foundation of music that came before them.

		The setting was a massive rave in a barren Home Base outlet in Oakland, Calif. Barren, that is, aside from the several thousand teenagers and assorted non-minors who had come to absorb high-decibel house, jungle, techno and drum'n'bass played at volumes that contracted throats and compressed chest cavities.
		Lacking a suitable transformer, Spring Heel Jack's John Coxon and Ashley Wales were unable to wire enough equipment to perform live their cinematic brand of drum'n'bass, the highly conceptual arrangement of sampled sonic data, computer-honed bass lines and abstract breakbeats.
		Spring Heel Jack may downplay "Walking Wounded," but one would be mistaken to underestimate the role the ubiquitous song has had in preparing American audiences for unadulterated drum'n'bass.

		It was London in 1994 and there was no way that John Coxon's and Ashley Wales's respective messing about with breakbeats and sweeping string samples wasn't going to get mixed up with the UK drum and bass explosion that has given the '90s its most exhilarating new music.
		Attention is now turning to other artists, and Spring Heel Jack--a duo all the same--have lots of hooks on which to hang your future of pop music.

		In many ways, this is SHJ at their most intellectual.
		"Shine a Light" is a cover of the Spiritualized tune of the same name, and SHJ's John Coxon and Ashley Wales do a great job of capturing the vast, static quality of Spiritualized's music while imbuing it with their own sense of urgency.
		I'm impressed by groups like Spring Heel Jack that seem equally capable of dialoging in a serious art vocabulary as they are in a pop vocabulary.

		Spring Heel Jack reconfigure these classics into seriously bent versions.
		Spring Heel Jack are now the darlings of the avant-garde free-jazz crowd, but about when this was released they were still in the process of discarding the label of "Everything But The Girl"'s favorite 'jungle' remixer.
		Spring Heel Jack had reached the point, with "Treader", where their music was a virtual force of nature: the beats are unstoppable, the groove as thick as tar, and the bold contrasts of sound and noisy fury sharp and fuzzy all at the same time.

		Spring Heel Jack is certainly no stranger to change and diversity.
		Eclecticism was an SHJ trait from the start, and it only increased as their discography grew.
		The other three recent SHJ discs were special—the Thirsty Ear Blue Series is special—because they attempted to defy simple categorization.

		Spring Heel Jack is hopefully setting the stage for something amazing in the coming months.

		Spring Heel Jack exist in that increasingly exciting no-man's land where clubland and modern jazz call a truce and have a kickabout.
		Spring Heel Jack's latest seems so willfully irritating, careening from one idea to the next, with little regard for such pop conventions as melody, rhythm, or harmony, that one can't help but wonder -- albeit fleetingly -- if it just might point toward a whole new style of music.

	Spring Heel Jack: Disappeared - PopMatters Music Review
		John Coxon and Ashley Wales, the duo who are Spring Heel Jack, an outfit most closely associated with a drum'n'bass sound, have anchored their new release, Disappeared around two relatively out jazz pieces.
		Of course this is essential: because the focus here is on the low end, it is subtlety of sound, of contrasting notes, chords and timbres that holds the interest.
		It is also Spring Heel Jack's willingness to tackle an impressive array of styles that also holds the listener's interest.

		A mix of classical string cadences and static clinging piano, with sputtering woodwinds and brass, Masses is a relevant stab at dissolving the conventions of modern music.
