Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

As anyone who's heard their exuberant debut album will tell you, Lemon Jelly are no ordinary chill-out act. Here the eccentric duo present their second full-length outing Lost Horizons, and it's every bit as good as their acclaimed debut, Lemonjelly.ky. Inhabiting a world of almost limitless playfulness, Nick Franglen and Fred Deakin make the sort of brassy, beautiful downtempo music that leaves the listener desperately trying to suppress a goofy grin. You see, Lost Horizons is that rarest of things: a focused, humorous and exciting chill-out album that stands up to repeat listens. Often this kind of tongue-in-cheek chillage can sound dull and contrived (or, worse, sickly and overbearing), but Lost Horizons is anything but tedious. It simply bristles with shimmering, sunny instrumentation (jaunty acoustic guitars, skippy beats, tinkling pianos, oh-so English brass band fanfares… even the odd harp), while quirky, oddball samples lurk round every turn ("Nice Weather For Ducks", for example, is a country-funk shakedown based around a sample from a children’s nursery rhyme). From the percussive space jazz of "Return to Patagonia" to the seductive, sleepy closer "The Curse of Ka’zar", Lost Horizons doesn’t so much glimmer, it positively shines. 2002’s best downtempo album? Almost certainly. --Matt Anniss

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime, wonderful... 9 Aug 2006
By JJB
Format:Audio CD
I bought this CD as a recommendation and have been unable to stop playing it ever since. Quite simply it is the best chill, electronic, ambient, whatever you want to call it, album I have ever heard. The highlight is Ramblin' Man, a sublime journey of sound which is both thought-provoking and melodic. An absolute classic in every respect.

... this is pure blissful delight. Absolutely great at parties for making people smile loudly. Can't wait for previous album to arrive having just ordered it on the strength of LH which I only heard a few months ago. Thanks to my friend for introducing these guys to me. SMILE!

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE MOST EXCELLENT CHILL OUT ALBUMS 20 April 2007
By sandjs
Format:Audio CD
Firstly I would like to say that I am so in love with this album.

My most favourite track is no3 - Ramblin Man - it is so very brilliant and passionate and nothing more than beautiful. The other great track would have to be track 4 - full over wonder, quite dancy, but thought enhancing with great sounds, including sax and a full mens choir at the end singing something I can't quite make out! As for track 5- Perfect Weather For Ducks- my kids love it, but as for me, sorry to say this is the only song from the whole album that I do like less, not really my cup of tea, but not all bad.

This is the perfect album for anyone who really appreciates music, who likes to take time to listen to the sounds that take you to another plane, perfect for laying a rug on the lawn on a summers night and watching the stars or sunset!

If you like chill out, electronica/dance/ambient style then this really is for you, take my word for it. You won't be disappointed
