Perform.00 is a collection of Howard Jones favorites re-recorded by Howard Jones and the backup band that accompanied him on the VH-1 Big Rewind tour of the late 90s (opening for the likes of The Human League and Culture Club). The bassist for that tour and on this album is Nick Beggs, known better as the bassist for Kajagoogoo.

Many of his older songs are given an updated, stadium rock sound; Howard plays mostly piano and organ, with only an occasional hint of his trademark synthesizers. There are three new tracks: "Love Is A Good Thing", "I Must Go" and "Someone You Need" (a collaboration with Duncan Sheik), released in 2000.
