3 stars Jadis plays an accessible, melodic kind of neo-prog. This album, Somersault, is their worst-rated here on PA, but I would disagree. Sure, its uneven and not as good as the first two (and neither is what came later). But it still sports a punchy, clear production and four longer songs with multiple lead themes, whose melodies grow on you on repeated listens (and those are, it can argued, the best kind of melodies). The sound, while being recognizably Jadis, also undergoes some evolution, as the instrumental breaks are more centered on musicians' interplay rather than just the guitar solos - sorry, Martin Orford fans, the keys here are more varied than what he offered on Jadis releases when he played .
