专辑介绍:
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。
Amazon.com Review:
As anyone who's heard their exuberant first album will tell you, Lemon Jelly are no ordinary chill-out act. Here, the eccentric duo present their second full-length outing, Lost Horizons, and it's every bit as good as their acclaimed debut, Lemonjelly.ky. Inhabiting a world of almost limitless playfulness, Nick Franglen and Fred Deakin make the sort of brassy, beautiful downtempo music that leaves the listener desperately trying to suppress a goofy grin. You see, Lost Horizons is that rarest of things: a focused, humorous, and exciting chill-out album that stands up to repeat listening. Often, this kind of tongue-in-cheek chillage can sound dull and contrived (or, worse, sickly and overbearing), but Lost Horizons is anything but tedious. It bristles with shimmering, sunny instrumentation (jaunty acoustic guitars, skippy beats, tinkling pianos, oh-so-English brass band fanfares--even the odd harp), while quirky, oddball samples lurk 'round every turn ("Nice Weather for Ducks," for example, is a country-funk shakedown based on a sample from a nursery rhyme). From the percussive space jazz of "Return to Patagonia" to the seductive, sleepy closer, "Curse of Ka'zar," Lost Horizons doesn't so much glimmer as positively shine. Is it 2002's best downtempo album? Almost certainly. --Matt Anniss
