Jun 13, 2016 No direct-relation sequel to original Black Jack. Black Jack attempts to find out the conspiracy, of why he was involved in the bombfield accident that killed his.
Jack is the debut EP by British rock band Moose. It was released in March 1991 through Hut Records. Akin to Moose's two succeeding EPs, the album showcases a distortion-heavy shoegazing style, which was abandoned shortly before the recording of the band's debut album, ...XYZ (1992).[1][2][3]

Allmusic critic Jason Ankeny described the record as 'a galvanizing and commanding debut,' stating that the EP 'immediately establishes Moose as noisemakers par excellence, creating feedback-rich pop with an urgency and ferocity not heard since the Jesus and Mary Chain's landmark Psychocandy.' Ankeny also wrote: 'Over just a handful of songs, Moose manage to convey the full scope of the shoegazer aesthetic.'[4]
