Introducing '64-'95, the third instalment in Lemon Jelly's rich history of long-players. Breaking away from any (Jelly) mould, Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen have altered the ship's course somewhat and we are treated to '64-'95; their most diverse record yet. Lemon Jelly have made an album entirely based upon unlikely samples swiped from their vast record collections. Not unlike one of their DJ sets, they flip between musical styles at will and make light work of cramming metal, 70s pop, Euro house, R&B, punk and more into just one album. The title, '64-'95, simply signifies the span in years of the various samples they've used and, as ambitious as the whole thing sounds, it works. The list of musical mavericks willingly plundered in the cause of the good ship Jelly includes 70s popsters Gallagher and Lyle, Scottish post-punkers the Scars, US R&B balladeer Monica and none-more-heavy metallers, the Masters of Reality. Each track manages to come as a complete stylistic surprise without losing any flow from one to the next; having said that, it's probably best not to mention the Maori crooner or Captain James T. Kirk for the moment.

你可以想象得到一个著名平面设计师和一个辛勤的园丁的合作所产生什么化学作用呢？Lost Horizons就是他们的产品，大量的Beats、Loops、Sample的和谐相处，制作了02年最奇妙的Downtempo之旅。专辑的开首曲Elements已经是一手集铿锵吉他、轻柔和唱、温暖口琴的窝心之作；Spacewalk通过如音乐盒般的钢琴给我们带来无重状态的太空感受；Return to Patagonia以紧凑的Jazz鼓击与色士风的配搭，为我们带来丝丝入扣的翱翔感觉；而Experiment Number Six的出色小号演出所带来的则是神秘的另类Jazz意境。沉醉在Lemon Jelly的音乐当中，望着Lost Horizons的唱片封面，我放下了手上的所有工作，闭上眼睛，怀着豁然的心情，走上了秋季旅行之路。
