Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Lemon Jelly is a new addition to the pantheon of leftfield downtempo classics, a group to file alongside Air, Kid Loco and every Café Del Mar album so far. Lemonjelly.ky is actually a collection of the Lemon Jelly duo's three EPs so far. This album echoes with the ghosts of lost 1950s easy listening icons, plundering some of the daftest samples this side of a De La Soul record, rippling with a lavish, sun-kissed tropical aura. This is music so special you'll want to throw open all your windows every time you hear it. There's a wonderful childishiness about much here: the story-time voices, the Bagpuss breaks, the nostalgic whimsy for an age when music was utterly free of pretensions or pensiveness. "His Majesty King Raam" and "In The Bath" serve up a warm comedy that's wry, affecting and utterly compelling. "The Staunton Lick" and "Kneel Before Your God" raise the tempo to a funky slouch. And when it's all over, you'll be left wondering whether there'll ever be room in your heart for anything else. This is essential.--Calvin B Bush

5.0 out of 5 stars Is this the best record I have?, 15 Dec 2002
You know when something just fits - I've had this for a long time now and it's still my favourite, something to come home to relax to, something that my friends go 'Oh, what's this?' when I put it on and a regular feature on the daily commute.

It's just so much FUN!

Staunton Lick is the best - it just grows so well - and impossible to turn off when it comes on. King Rahm - beautiful. Homage to Patagonia - twinkly. In the Bath - gorgeous.

These guys did a great job. I'm envious of their ability to actually find a new twist on music. Sure, they're going to be lobbed into the chillout section, but it's not quite right - they're far more into having fun than lying around listening to banal washy chord changes.

I hope that they're still doing the gatefold sleeve - it cost a lost money originally, but I think that they've probably recouped the expense - it's so bloody good.

A complete package. And the penultimate track (which I'm listening to now) - Cole Porter meets the dancefloor is my take on it.

You will not regret buying this album if you've got this far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lemon Jelly- Their name seems to sum it up so completey., 25 Jul 2002
By A. Bodgin "Bodge" (Exeter, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Brilliant. Care-free music for those moments of calm and tranquility. However, I'm not going to pigeon hole this album into that ever burgeoning genre known as 'Chill-Out' because there seems to be a glut of them at the mo. So instead I class it as bizarre serene downtempo breaks (anyone come up with that before?!). Yes I agree with one reviewer here who likens it to Mr Scruff but with a distinctly different sound.
Personal favourite is Staunton Lick which could easily have come form Nightmares On Wax's album 'Car boot Soul'. By the way that's another essential album. Both of these are truly sublime in its truest meaning:'awakening feelings of awe and veneration'.
Just go and buy it now. For the sake of humanity music like this should be heard by all those feeling jaded and disillusioned with the state of our modern 'pop' (read 'pap') music.
When's the next release guys????

5.0 out of 5 stars A timeless, quality collection of funky tunes, 16 Sep 2002
By G. Andreou "G. Andreou" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What a fantastic album! Apart from all the last, all the tracks are excellent. Overall, an amazing, beautiful and original sound, comprising of funky beats, plenty of bass, with pianos featuring in many tunes (which is always a good thing).

The tunes are not so varied, but not similar either. So if you like one track, you'll probably like them all. If I had to pick my favourite, it would be 'Page One'. Once it gets going, it evolves into a powerful, moving quality dance tune. Another is 'His Majesty King Raam', an interesting, surreal yet effective mix of a nursery rhyme melody and a heavy hip hop beat. Great stuff, beautiful music.

The narration is not overdone and doesn't spoil the music. In fact, I think it's necessary to fill the voids on an otherwise instrumental album. Part of the appeal is it's simplicity. It's not a complicated, futuristic sound like, say, Royksopp.

If I had to pick a fault, it would be that the tracks are too long and are sometimes a bit repetitive. But still, this is easily one of my favourite CDs of all time, certainly in its class. A must for anyone's CD rack.
