Here's my review of '64-'95 ::
New CD from Lemon Jelly!! (do I really need to say anything more?) (oh okay…) Album and song titles refer to years from which the core samples were drawn. Rather than just remaking Lost Horizons, they’ve expanded their range this time out, forgoing the wacky sample-delica (see “Nice Weather for Ducks”) for killah beats and leftfield brilliancy. 3 is probably most in the earlier LJ-stylee. 7 (the first single) does French house (and does it up right). 10 drops some tasty nu jazz (and, I think, a William Fucking Shatner sample, but I’m not quite sure). 2, 6 bring the rock gee-tars. 4, 5 build off hip hop beats in completely different directions.
