THE REVIEW
About Lemon Jelly, I only knew something through the reviews (almost always positive) in magazines, but I had never dared to delve into their musical career, perhaps because I was urged to follow something else. Then, the surprise: the video of "Space Walk" (one of the best singles of 2002, absolutely) aired on the night program on Saturday on Mtv (Chill Out) struck me, and not just for the stunning visual art of the images: as poetic, as sarcastic and colorful, but also for the sound: a powerful and playful song, on a dreamy yet determined acoustic guitar and electronic sounds, almost music box-like, embellishing the splendid and robotic vocal section.
I bought "Lost Horizons", the album containing this gem of electronic music, and I fell in love with it immediately, especially for the splendid cardboard packaging and the unforgettable cover.
There's no point in naming the tracks; the album presents itself as a homogeneous work, almost like it is a single 59-minute song divided into 8 suites. Capturing the sounds of this incredible duo is truly mind-blowing: a myriad of ideas, immense creativity and endless beauty. A bolt from the blue. A sonic sunset. An album that is not "cool" as they said at the time of its release, but a testament to original madness.

"Space Walk becomes the soundtrack of my January days."
"The greatest quality of this album - the ability to produce an unreal world - does not take root in the average angry listener and thus becomes an irremediable flaw."
By GK
Never was a NAME more aptly chosen and even prophetic in announcing the emotions it would evoke.
Elements that combine with disarming ease and are able to produce a truly engaging and moving sound (chills during the bagpipes at the end of elements).
