Lost Horizons is the second studio album from the British electronic duo Lemon Jelly, released on 7 October 2002. Released by XL Recordings and produced by Nick Franglen, the album generated two charting singles in the UK, "Space Walk" and "Nice Weather for Ducks"; the latter has often been called the album's stand-out track...

Chris Dahlen of Pitchfork felt that the album was a little too saccharine at times, but that it is "the perfect disc to throw on after your four-disc Ultrachill Dub Groove Mix has put the whole party to sleep. It's like eight flavors of ribbon candy, beach balls hitting the ground like hail, and a big plastic clown face that blows helium." - Wikipedia

Lemonjelly.ky is the debut album by the British duo Lemon Jelly, released on 23 October 2000. It compiles all nine tracks originally released on the duo's first three limited edition EPs: The Bath, The Yellow and The Midnight,.. - Wikipedia

Review by Dean Carlson

Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen compiled their first three EPs of fizzy chill-out for those late-night lava lamp staring sessions. It's downtempo for the acid generation, an eschewing of popular prêt-à-porter after-hour aesthetics. You wouldn't catch many an icily cool dance group writing songs of slow-motion fascist mamba marches ("Homage to Patagonia"), universal U.K. garage meditations ("Page One"), or Edward Scissorhands sipping cocktails at Eighteenth Street Lounge Music ("His Majesty King Raam"). Perhaps a good thing.

25 years too late, i want to thank all of you UK music pirates who left open their napster and limewire clients on 33.6k/56k dialup connections for hours at a time in the middle of the night in 2000.

when i was a teenager in the late 90s and early 2000s, canada was still recovering from a decade of hopeless grunge, there weren't many options for learning about new music aside from the radio. 99% of it was dead pop and rock. but a local university radio station (CJSR) exclusively played all kinds of music you couldn't find anywhere else.

one night, at 2am, a CJSR deejay queued up a track by a band called Lemon Jelly. after decades of despondent punk/rock/grunge, it was the most refreshing and uplifting thing i had ever heard. the kind of music that was just glad if you smiled a bit.

except, i couldn't find it anywhere. the big local shops like HMV didn't import LJ's label, and i couldn't afford to import it myself from a UK music store.

that week, i spent dozens of hours digging through every limewire/napster share i could find. and finally, i found it: someone in the UK had dumped the entire CD to 128kbit mp3s, as well as recordings from BBC 1's The Breezeblock.

a year later, i was finally able to buy their CD in-store, along with the incredible Illustrator vector artwork by lemon jelly themselves. i not only became a fan of LJ, but became strongly influenced by their low-poly vector illustration style in my own design work.

so: a belated thank you UK napsterites for sharing your music overseas 🙏

So what's next? I've covered Kings and Queens in the Tune Tuesday theme of Kings, Queens, Jacks and Jokers. Now we've gotta deal with the Jacks. And I can think of nothing better than Lemon Jelly's A Tune For Jack, it's so upbeat and happy and fun.
