Jonesy are one of the great British Progressive Rock bands of the early 1970s who, despite recording some of the most impressive and intelligent music of the era, sadly failed to make a commercial impact. The band was formed in 1971 by guitarist John Evan-Jones, who emigrated to Australia with his brother Trevor in the 1950s. By the mid-1960s, the Jones brothers had formed the band Chaos And Co and had enjoyed success. Returning to the UK in 1969, John forged a career as a session guitarist but by 1971 had formed Jonesy with Jame Kaleth (mellotron, keyboards, vocals), David Paull (bass, vocals) and Jim Payne (drums, percussion).

Dynamic St Petersburg producer Kim and Buran are slowly growing into electronic disco veterans, with this, their second long player on Nang and having been on the scene for over 18 years. Latest offering 'Tramplin' pays little heed to rigid four-four / dancefloor structures; the album works as a substantial, fifteen track work because of the variety of mood, tone and texture that runs throughout. From the mid tempo, atmosphere-drenched cosmotica of opener 'Walk on the Stratosphere', and the drifting, Delia Derbyshire like synths strains and retro melancholia of Forbidden Planet, to the irresistible moog driven funk of Around Pauls, the tight Italo strut of Gala, the shimmering, exultant future disco of the likes of French Train, shifts gears and switches mood throughout. Set closer, the breezy musicality of 'Your our Summer Dress' ends the album with effortless panache.
