    Hey, thought you guys might be interested: ......................... Lemon Jelly’s “Lost Horizons” is awesome. It will change you. As an individual soul, unique in every way, you will shift to a slightly different type of unique soul, just so long as you continue breaking the speed limit by at least 15mph and the top stays down. Each song has what any normal band would consider an album’s worth of ideas, and as you explode through a spinning gathering of leaves in the passing lane of the parkway, you realize that - as if Jimmy Tamborello got together with an extreme new age band and wrote 1950’s radio dramas, the beats break, the bass drops, and the instrumental palate is endless. The engine roars and you’re pretty sure that for the very first time, you feel truly alive. If the Chemical Brothers spent more of their weekends lying in sunny green fields than they did blowing out dark stadium walls (and had a flavor for brass), their songs would go a little more like this. 15mph over becomes 25 over. Sublime and complex, Lemon Jelly keeps the highs very high, and the lows very low. By the end of track 6 you've traveled the world, walked in space and witnessed a questionably successful medical experiment. The other cars on the road become traffic cones, and when you miss your exit, you check the dash clock and put your foot down a little harder. The sun sets behind the hills of trees and a great shadow drapes your narrow road. The rear and head lights around you light up like beacons and you can practically see GPS data and an id code on each vehicle as you plan your snaking path five moves ahead. You break 105mph and your heart rate doubles. Suddenly traffic is gone, you passed every last car on the road, a sloping hill opens up beneath you and a quarter-mile in front of it lies a well-lit, newly painted 3 lane highway. But it’s dark now, the air is getting cooler and you reason that you might as well try for 120. AwesomeSauce gives Lemon Jelly’s “Lost Horizons” 10 out of 10 Sunday afternoons. .......................................................... Every two weeks AwesomeSauce reviews a cd that you absolutely have to hear, an album so mindblowing from start to finish that it will change your perspective on the landscape of contemporary music.
