...review has to do with Lemon Jelly KY, then maybe if I told you that Lemon Jelly had an album entitled "Lost Horizons", you'd make a bit more sense of it. This review is designed to cover the KY album, although I hope to write a review for Lost Horizons at a later date. Ky is actually a compilation of three Lemon Jelly EP's, taking sample tracks from each. Firstly lets look at the design (since this is a real unique charm with Lemon Jelly CD covers), ...

Advantages: superbly original collection, very easy to listen to
Disadvantages: may be too quirky for some

...which makes the presence of Lemon Jelly a refreshing change to all the bland Euro-trance that is doing the rounds at the moment. Known for their sense of fun and wackiness, the London duo's first 'album' was actually a collection of their three three-track EP's that were released in the late 1990's.

Advantages: Excellent tracks, pretty unique sound, fun and funky
Disadvantages: None really

Disadvantages: No-one on the planet should dislike this CD, but if you're into Rammstein, maybe not!

...Nick Franglen and Fred Deakin. Lemon Jelly.ky is their first full album which is actually a collection of three limited edition EPs which they released over the past two or three years. It's hard to describe what this music is like or about... it's just different and like nothing you will have heard before! You could use many words... ambient.. mellow.. and none of them really fit the bill individually. Each track is a medley of instrumentals ... Read review

Advantages: Wouldn't be lost in any collectio
Disadvantages: Never heard of 'em. Who are they?

Well produced, interestingly merchandised, questionably marketed piece of listening. Fred Deakin & Nick Fraglen (Lemon Jelly)cleary 'smoke', often, but hey who cares. Lemon Jelly,ky. is an innovative album of our time. A trilogy of trilogies, it's progressive/regressive chilled out style lends itself to anyones de-stress campaign. Opening with: The Bath Ep - released Aug '98 - contains 1. In The Bath 2. Nervous Tension 3. A Tune For Jack Filling ... Read review
