Jump - Something of the Night
Written by Charlie O'Mara

As many of you know, Jump frontman John Dexter Jones is a competent locksmith, and as such, the band have entrusted him with picking the Silhobbit lock and getting their albums review within our hallowed pages and screens. He has also just celebrated yet another birthday, so I implore you all to troop along to Jump's MySpace page at www.myspace.com/jumprockuk and wish him a happy b-day. And, what's more, there's a shiny kipper to each of you that guesses his age. Correctly, mind.

Image Anyway, way back in the cold, dark depths of February, Chiltern proggers Jump descended, with their freshly washed and powdered fans, upon The Limelight Theatre, in Aylesbury Home Of Prog, to record this, their second live album. We sent our raving reporter Ash Brown along, but she got so morrised that she forgot to write anything! I asked her if she remembered any of the gig, how the tracks were received and such, but she just giggled. No more gigs for her, back in the cupboard she goes to await a good spanking.

This live CD kicks off with crowd pleasing classic Dr Spin from their 2001 album On Impulse, a lively number on which it becomes apparent that this is a well recorded live album! This is swiftly followed by The Automated Modern Fool from their Faithful Faithless (see our review here) album. Reviewer Ash loved this track on the album and it has turned into a good live track. Another crowd pleaser comes up next in the form of Moscow Circus.

The album flows well from here on in, with high points being Different Story Now, the Sugar-Miceish A Man Was Made, the wonderfully mellow Freedom Train and the powerful Horse To Water.

So I reckon that, even if you're not a Jump fan yet this is as good a way to become one as any. Fans of the band will have this already, though, like me, they'll wish that they'd gotten young Hollie Petrie along that night to provide some backing vocals...

Now can we have our chickens back?

Jump have a few dates coming up - check their myspace page.
