Review by scoundrel Sep 30, 2004 (edited over 5 years ago)

Lemon Jelly’s second album, LOST HORIZONS, starts off on the right foot: “The Elements” has all the qualities that made their first album special. Mellow melodies, humorous samples, feel-good vibes. “Space Walk,” as well, has a piano intro that immediately puts you in the spacy mood that soon explodes into a space party. But the tracks that follow strangely fail to ignite much passion or interest. “Return to Patagonia” has a nice jazzy saxophone tooting through it, but then sort of dissolves into disorganization. “Nice Weather for Ducks” starts off great, but then… repeats itself until you want to shoot all those ducks. The album as a whole feels as if it was rushed into production, instead of having more time to develop. But the time we get to the meat of “Experiment Number Six,” we’ve long lost interest. And that’s a pity, since there are musical ideas in these tracks that could have been better and more fully explored. As it is, LOST HORIZONS is a good, but deeply flawed album.
