High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Famously described by Brian Eno as 'the most important band in the world', Man Jumping were formed in England in the mid-1980s from the members of Lost Jockey who were variously described as playing 'systems music' (which refers to the repetitive musical loops and themes of avant garde US composers such as Steve Reich, Philip Glass and Terry Riley) or 'systems funk'. The band formed Man Jumping to get away from that tag. Instead they drew on jazz fusion, ethnic musics, electronics and funk to create an alternative world dance music from a heady mix of influences (keyboardist Orlando Gough said in an interview in March 1985 'I suppose there is some kind of nebulous central core of ideas, which may to do with us all having come out of systems music and our interest in foreign music but actually we are influenced by Steely Dan, James Blood Ulmer, Bach, Beethoven'). A demo produced by Mike Hedges led to a contract with Bill Nelson's Cocteau Records who released their first album Jump Cut in early 1985
