Lemon Jelly: C/D?

I don't like Zero 7, however, and the last Air album can fuck right off.

Royksopp make some housey tracks (Poor Leno, the Remind Me remix) and some chillout tracks (In Space, So Easy), plain and simple, and i love the element of funk in their stuff (esp. on Royksopp's Night Out which has more big beat overtones but whatever)

Bent have made some similarly danceable tracks too, 'Always' being the prime example...Jon Marsh's mix of 'Swollen' is also vurr nice

as for Zero 7, well all the later singles are admittedly a bit bland/wishy washy but the album has some great moments (Polaris, This World, Give It Away) and their mixes of Mos Def and Lambchop are suitably sweet...

last Air album - love the first 4/5 tracks!

i LOVE 'Kneel Before Your God' on the first album, probably cos it sounds more like Fila Brazillia...i think 'His Majesty King Raam', 'Homage To Patagonia', 'Page One' and probably 'In The Bath' are the other highlights on that...but if you dont like the new single 'Spacewalk' then i figure Lemon Jelly just arent for you

Disputed - there are more sides to Lemon Jelly than just Spacewalk - The Staunton Lick, Homage To Patagonia, Page One, Come and, of course Spacewalk are all pretty diverse sonically.

david morales may have something to say about that.

that 'always' remix IS gorgeous, though. i like 'programmed to love', too.

"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.

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!

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

It matches the excerpt here: https://www.amazon.com/Old-New-Bible-Stories-Retold/dp/0007128088

And on the credits it says 'vocal John Hallam'

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

That's some deep googling

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?
