A band like Lemon Jelly wouldn’t have existed without the likes of Jean-Jacques Perrey in the world, and across the 30 year time-gap there’s a lot these two albums have in common. Aside from the focus on synthesized electronic music, jazzy lounge pop and “Music to Chill Out To” there’s the humour. Perrey prefers musical puns and simply not taking himself too seriously, despite being a legitimately ‘serious’ musician, whilst everything about Lemon Jelly feels a little tongue-in-cheek: artfully clever with a love of British whimsy.   There was a lot of downtempo-disco-lounge music around like this in the early 2000s, but this has a more intelligent, almost conceptual feel to it, than many of their contemporaries. This is largely due to the samples used and the subject matter. Ramblin’ Man takes a sampled vocal from Charlton Heston as its inspiration and is thereafter a list of all the places one might ramble to, from Kingston to Kentish Town. Elements is a beautiful simple reduction of a child’s physics lesson, and Space Walk incorporates snippets from a Nasa recording of an astronaut exclaiming “It’s beautiful up here”. None of this is to diss the album, I like it. Its carefree sunniness is an absolute tonic in this winter of our discontent. It certainly feels like a lifeline to a lost world, a lost horizon. Back in 2002 when the future was still so bright, you gotta wear shades.  That is, with the exception of the track Experiment Number Six which, along with the delightfully quirky single Nice Weather For Ducks, may be my favourites. Its tone somewhat jars here, given that its about an experiment in which the subject dies. But its slight shock factor, amongst all the cheery positivity, is probably why it appeals to me.    #lemonjelly #losthorizons #niceweatherforducks #electronicmusic #electronica #sampling #downtempo #recordcollection #nowlistening #randomrecordreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CJEraZLMxd6/?igshid=90amqj6yn1of

I heard the ice cream van out on the street and for some it sparked the track Elements by Lemon Jelly, then of course I went into the entire lost horizons album. Which I’ve always loved 🙏❤️💯🎶 . . . #lemonjelly #losthorizons #oldbutawesome #greatalbum #love #listen #chill #reminisce #kickback #speakerson #mybose #postdinner #musiclover #music #londonlife (at London, United Kingdom)
