Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com's Best of 2001
A collection of three EPs released in limited quantities by this London duo (Nick Franglen and Fred Deakin), Lemonjelly.ky is what happens when you mix electronic psychedelia with downtempo beats, a selection of warm and organic sounds, a splash of sunshine, and a big dose of smiles. Coming across like a series of electronic fairy tales designed for warm, hazy afternoons in the park, Lemon Jelly are all about a good time, chill style. Kruder & Dorfmeister would approve, as would the Orb, but Lemon Jelly also have a stoner's sense of humor to accompany their warmly chaotic mixes. Take "A Tune for Jack," with its big sea elephants and smooth high-synth sound that evokes the Parisian duo Air, and then try the amusingly instructional voiceover during "The Staunton Lick." Both illustrate clearly that for Lemon Jelly there are no rules other than to let your imagination (fueled as it might be) wander where it must. Indeed, one of the most delightful things about this album, as you meander through stunningly lush pastures like "Homage to Patagonia" and the melancholic romance of "Kneel Before Your God," is its ability to marry great music with a genuine sense of goodwill and happy disorder. If Alice ever did manage to hear some tunes as she tripped about Wonderland, Lemonjelly.ky must have been the soundtrack she enjoyed. --Steffan Chirazi

Product Description
Nick Franglen and Fred Deakin are the London based duo who make up Lemon Jelly. Fred is a DJ and designer whose illustration work frequently appears in The Face magazine. His wobbly, bubbly graphics are a good visual translation of the Lemon Jelly sound. Nick is a producer who has worked with Primal Scream, Bjork and Pulp. The record consists of the three limited edition UK 10 inch EP's that the group released between '98 and '00. The juicy melodious sounds fit in right next to bands like Air and Thievery Corporation but truly exist in a cartoon world of their own. Deluxe gatefold dogipack. 2001 release.

as a dj and producer in las vegas I listen to all types of music.a friend of mine gave me a copy of this cd the other day based on the psychedlic cover, he found in the used cd store.
THIS CD IS THE GREATEST CD I'VE HEARD IN YEARS.the songs are just out of this world,IN A VERY TRIPPY,PSYCHEDLIC AND CHILLED OUT WAY,IN A STORY BOOK MANNER and the production of the cd is just,MIND BOGGLING.
THE STERIO SEPARATION IS IMPECABLE,AND THE SOUND IS JUST BLENDED PERFECTLY .THERE USE OF ALL TYPES OF SOUND EFFECTS IS JUST STUNNING.THESE GUYS SHOULD HAVE MIXED THE CD IN 5.1 SURROUND SOUND.IT WOULD HAVE WON AN AWARD.
SO IF YOU WANT SOMETHING OF MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR AND SERGEANT PEPPER GREATNESS ,GO BUY THIS CD YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED.

Headline: The Beginner's Guide to Understanding Lemon Jelly

Every artist that to those who haven't heard of them is an "acquired taste" needs an introduction of some sort. An album so early is just rushing into them after and not letting anyone get to know your music or what you do, before expecting something righteous and good on the album. I knew nothing about Lemon Jelly's EPs. I first bought Lost Horizons and fell in love with the album and Lemon Jelly, because it sent me on an adventure in different songs that I would never forget. The "greatest hits" album of '64-'95 just gave me Lemon Jelly's rendition of other people's songs, if he had a chance to remix them all into their own work. Both of them were really good. So I wonder what www.lemonjelly.ky has to offer. After listening to this, it sounds not only like a blueprint for an excellent album like Lost Horizons, but it is a good beginner's guide for those who want to shake hands with Lemon Jelly through the headphones.

The album is actually a collection (call them a reissue, if you'd like) of the three EPs they had created. Each one had some sort of a personality. The Bath EP feel good music; Yellow EP was Adventurous, and Midnight EP had a beautifully nocturnal or magical outlook. The weakest of the three has to be the Bath. "In The Bath" starts off with a spacious instrumental (none the bubbly), with the woman being made to say over the beat, "What do you do in the bath?" And no one quite bothers to answer. But for those who can get past the repetition will find the music quite adventurous. It made me want to picture getting in the shower, slipping on some soap and landing in an ocean, crawling through a pipe, only to end up in a kid's swimming Pool, step on the grass, to be flipped on the other side as the sun shines while the stereotypical Egypt walks towards me, and at the end, I come out of the bath floating in a bubble. All of that while listening to "In the Bath", and it made it even more enjoyable. "Nervous Tension" samples a Yoga-like tape to relax your mind, yet the music doesn't follow too much suit as the song sounds like it is trying to create a soundtrack of Portishead in a day spa. "A Tune for Jack" is just a feel good travel through an instrumental for a sea elephant named Jack, and through both that and an interruption by a baby boy trying to say "bumblebee", the adventure seems pretty worth the trip underwater That was what it is like in The Bath. Now to describe the bright Yellow EP.

Kicking off the Yellow EP was "Our Majesty King Raam", which is a bright salute to King Raam, as well as one of those tracks where you know they went over the time limit somewhere. If they haven't, then this album would do well as the track to have a morning theme to it, because from the keyboard reminiscent of Roy Ayers, thissounds like quite an homage for the track. One that didn't even tell us what kind of man King Raam was, but an homage anyway. Next, is "The Staunton Lick", where at the beginning is an awkward walk-through of how to play "The Staunton Lick" from an instruction tape on how to "Teach Yourself Folk Guitar". From that was born a balloon ride or a view over the canyon, with only your guitar to accompany you there. Now, as for the majestic "Homage to Patagonia", the 9 ½ minutes it takes to spread its worldly charm around is used when one half soundtracks a walk through Patagonia (complete with Chinese strings), and an ending as breathtaking as the sun to the common eye. Now that we got the Yellow EP (known to me as the Morning album), the Midnight EP has plenty in store, if you enjoyed your stay at Yellow.

"Kneel Before Your God" sounds like the song that should have graced the What the Bleep Do We Know!? Movie for it's soundtrack through your mind, and a good way to grace your thoughts on spiritual balance. Speaking of spiritual balance, "Page One" is only majestic if you, too, were to pretend that all around you weren't any pizza parlors, or any streets. Just nothing but a field of life, as God once made it, with a sweep of evolution before your eyes. For that concept alone in the song, it is one of the most beautiful pieces on the album. "Come" ends the collection appropriately with a dream-like interpretation of an angel leading you to a happy and forgiving world. The end of the album is the Morning all over again. Well, the Bath in terms of album sequence.

If I ran the album, this would have been Lemon Jelly's concept album as an ode to one day, made from just three EPs representing Lemon Jelly's hellos. The Bath will be in the middle for that to happen. Lost Horizons and `64-`95 were such adventures that we want to know where it will take us. www.lemonjelly.ky, time-wise, ,may sem a little too long, but it is going to take you a while to get into the trip. Lemon Jelly has that charm. So, if you heard their EPs and only, then you are just learning all about the crazy, quirky, and overall rare charm of Lemon Jelly. The crash course is when you buy their further concept-based recordings. That's where the real vacations begin.

PLEASE PASS ME THE KY!!!.......2005-11-08

Lemon Jelly.KY is just as smooth as the lubricant itself! Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen have produced a bevy of downtempo songs that exude whimsical basslines and outlandish samples. Each track is a masterpiece that shows this duo has an oddball sense of humor as well as an ear for what sounds damn good in your living room and in your vehicle. This is indeed music for lovers of chill-out, acid and lounge. Highly Recommended!!!
