Free Music Notes for Lost Horizons
Free Music Review: Think London
Hit: 5 Stars
Having been a Londoner for the most of my life, I like to listen to tunes that identify with the great city that I once lived in. You may say David Grays' "Babylon" would sum up the atmosphere, or even maybe a couple of tunes from the great "ministry of sound". Then you listen to Lemon Jelly and realise that in these tunes this is where the nostalgia lies. Picture the green leafy parks of any city, and then add a few Lemon Jelly beats (Closer is a good one) and you have the perfect urban soundtrack. Try it... walk round the streets on a sunny day with Lemon Jelly playing, and trust me you'll feel better the moment you hear them. The Staunton Lick is a personal feel good one, it reminds me of the countryside in the Uk in the summer time, golden fields, blue skies and warm air. You may conclude that this review is Corny and cheesy, but I'd just thought i'd pass on a few feelings that I have had with Lemon Jelly. I'd just like to say think of London.C
Free Music Review: "BEAUTIFUL...BEAUTIFUL...JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!"
Hit: 5 Stars
When one hears the name "Lemonjelly", flavored lubrications come to mind (if not, then I obviously have a dirty mind)...of course, any fan of Lemonjelly knows that this is in fact one of the most unique sounding duos on the scene! Lemonjelly (Oh, how I love that name!) has created a landscape of "just beautiful" songs. Comically annoying at times, yet masterfully mixed and sampled throughout, songs like "Elements", "Spacewalk", "Nice Weather For Ducks" and "Experiment No. 6" display the true, ecclectic talents of Nick Franglen and Fred Deakin. From beginning to end, "Lost Horizons" sounds like a soundtrack to some British film, sparking feelings of being alive and care-free to inducining feelings of paranoia. This one is not for everybody, but for a change of pace from the innocuous sounds of what is littering the Dance/Club bins today, it's worth ya' money!Free Music Review: I AM ADDICTED TO JELLY!!!! More MORE!!!!

WOW! How could I have missed these guys! I have been into electronic music for a while...remixes and sampling are cool if cone correctly! And LJ my friends does it RIGHT! I am now buying up limited releases for WELL OVER face value just to complete the collection! A $30 CD has ONE track I DON'T HAVE....BANG...Bought! As for Lost Horizons...another GREAT RELEASE! As usual..a great mix of relaxing tracks...yet complex you don't get board with it! No doubt for you that JUST listen for ONE thing in a track...you MAY find some tracks repetitive..but for those of you that have the ability to truly LISTEN to music...You WILL enjoy this (And ALL of LJ's Work) CD! Now...as I write this in OCTOBER of 2009....How can we as a group BEG LJ to MAKE ANOTHER CD! PLEASE!!!!!! Also...anyone with some of the promo CD's (Rolled Oats is what I'm REALLY looking for) let me know! PLEASE! :-)Free Music Review: "Sheer joy"... man, I hate that term...
Hit: 5 Stars
Lemon Jelly's second album, 'Lost horizons', is sheer joy (understand that I dislike the term 'sheer joy', but no other phrase describes this album well).
Where Boards of Canada's dark melancholy mixed up with childhood innocence captures folk, this album is sure to follow -
but while BoC's music tended to focus on the forlorn and wistful parts of nostalgic emotions, Lemon Jelly's focus is more on the plainly, incomprehensibly happy side of childhood- it's more oblique, more in your face, less passive or subtle, than BoC's work, and more australian, if that makes any sense at all. Perhaps the yang to Boc's quieter yin. There's flow and peaks, but the real joy simply lies in sitting back, putting this album on and drifting far, far away. The whole album is recommended, in particular the first and third tracks as starting points. Enjoyed.
Free Music Review: The Music Of Paradise
Hit: 5 Stars
Okay...I stumbled on Lemon Jelly while visiting a museum gift shop. I found out whom that smooth music was created by and bought their CD at my first chance. Lost Horizons is their second CD in my collection and I'm enjoying it even more than the original collection "lemonjelly.ky". Their smooth-toned music is punctuated by lyrical speech samples that weave sonic stories. They are less silly ("c'mon baby" & "he's a big fellow") and arbitrary now and, instead, follow related themes. There is richness to the music that exists at the same time that it is minimalist. I've been listening to this CD for several days in my car, never growing tired of the themes and tunes. I love all but one song: Experiment No. 6 is just too weird for me. I spook and skip it on the replay.
Bottom line...You will be delighted with this CD. Top Ratings!
