What's the name of the album with "Ode to Patagonia" and "Page One" on it? I love that album, but lost the case/sleeve.

"Page One" in particular effectively kicks my mind & body into a very odd powerful hypnotic rhythmical sub-conscious love-robot-machine-mode. That's a great, amazing, wonderful, damned-near-perfect shagging record.

'Nice Weather For Ducks' is bloody annoying agreed!

Nice Weather For Ducks is ace, you are all on crack.

I liked the first one (compilation album or whatever) ok, but haven;t bothered with this one. Never made me think of Air though. You guys are talking about Air (French Band), right?

Anyone heard the new Lemon Jelly cd, '64-'95?

I did not like their first album, the compilation of eps, but thoroughly enjoyed Lost Horizons. Where does '64-'95 fit in?

Many thanks for your thoughts!

it's wack. an attempt at kicking the energy level up a notch or two, it's quite more upbeat and rough than the last two albums but just manages to come across as either a sub-standard mr. scruff or someone trying to make a bad copy of their own previous good works. the music's too loopy and simplistic (whereas past work was loopy, layered and complex), quite a few of the samples don't work in context, and they seem too eager to make "da(h)nce music" [don't shoot me!]. there are some gems but the majority are duds. even the dvd's got lots of shockwave-animated dookey. big DUD.

Many thanks for your assessment. I won't even look at it askance.

The singles are nice, and I like BOTH the previous records, so, y'know, make one personal assessment.

I semi like them butI only have the EP compilation. It's nice enough but some of the tracks go on too long without doing too much - "His Majesty King Rahm" is absolutely gorgeous but it goes on FOREVER and the little bridge in the middle is far too short!

Agreed re: KY. Their top 3 would be 'King Raam', 'Closer'(/'Oats') and 'Rock'.

is 64-95 totally underrated?

Is that the Edits one?

Yeah! I hadn't thought about it in a long time but it's p dope.

Anyone know the origin of the Alan Watts style monologue on Page One from lemonjelly.ky? For years I assumed it was him, but I can't find anything to corroborate it

Ah cheers thank you!

That's some deep googling. Thanks again. So strange, perhaps John Hallan or a different John Hallan was asked to do an audiobook of these bible stories? I honestly thought it was Alan Watts for years

Hallam, even. Gawd this phone

hardly! a quote from the track -lemon, and i knew discogs would have the sleeve notes. it sounds like the notable actor john hallam, maybe they just got him into the studio?
