Album Notes
Spring Heel Jack: Ashley Wales, John Coxon.
Additional personnel: Tortoise (samples).
Spring Heel Jack are fine practitioners of that touchy genre known variously as jungle and drum 'n' bass. Longtime fixtures on the UK scene, Spring Heel Jack mine a path poised between the vagaries of hardcore (check Nico, DJ Trace and the No U Turn posse) and the jazzy atmospherics of LTJ Bukem's Good Looking crew.
BUSY CURIOUS THIRSTY finds them plowing through new directions, injecting more noise and grit into their chiseled grooves and allowing the surrounding effects to act as springboards for the intense rhythmic action to commence. "Casino" uses smeared jackhammer riffs and steely-eyed electronics that just verge on the edge of distortion before the duo turn around and introduce the fluttering ambient birdsong of "Galapagos 3," a return to the spacey waveforms and shimmering electronics found on earlier records such as 68 MILLION SHADES.

Industry Reviews
...Challenging and innovative...infused with deadly back beat shards....
Melody Maker (10/04/1997)

7 (out of 10) - ...More of a work in progress than the finished article...but if them closing in on their chosen brand of perfection is this good, arriving there looks set to be magnificent...
NME (09/20/1997)

...the most distinctive, melodically appealing outfit in electronica today...
Option (03/01/1998)

7 (out of 10) - ...non-junglists who dig Spring Heel Jack because they keep the `musical' elements in the foreground will find precious little to hang onto here....Coxon and Wales still don't chop up their drums as severely as most junglists, but the clean sound of their first two records is mostly gone...
Spin (11/01/1997)

3.5 Stars (out of 5) - ...mates aggressive, low-end rhythms with disturbing instrumental textures; the timbres and sonorities favored here recall...Elmer Bernstein..and Carl Stalling....The resulting punch resonates both in the head and in the gut...
Rolling Stone (10/30/1997)
