Like some of the other reviewers here I was really given a jolt upon first listening to the newest Lemon Jelly. I plugged in the cd and sat back ready for the usual lush soundscapes LJ has given us in the past. This time I was forced to sit up and raise an eyebrow. There's even a disclaimer on a sticker that comes on the cd "This is not like our old album." How true. I tried repeatedly to just sit and listen and I couldn't. Then I took a road trip...sailing down a desert highway at a speed MUCH higher than the posted limit I plugged in '64-'95 and it all made sense!!! Suddenly I was hearing sounds I hadn't heard before and as I sped along the road it seemed the saguaros were bobbing up and down with me to 'Don't stop me now'. Later I saw a commercial for "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and they were using "Come down on me" and I thought "Yeah! Someone else gets it!!!" It's about moving forward! I feel sorry for those who want LJ to stand still in one place and expect artists to just pump out the same old crap over and over(not that ANYTHING by LJ is crap but you get what I'm saying). KUDOS to Lemon Jelly for taking a risk and creating something completely different and still being able to infuse their usual style. HOORAY for this new album. BOO to it's nay-sayers.
PS the DVD (sold seperately) is a lot of fun too.

5.0 out of 5 stars LEMON JELLY--THE FLAVOR OF CHOICE!!!, August 8, 2005

With '64-'95, awesome duo Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen take musical samples from that year span and mold them into 9, truly wonderful tunes drenched in rock, soul, folk, electronica and house music. To the nay-sayers, this album is just a continuation of "Lost Horizons" and should be accepted as a work of pure genius. Not everyone can do such an outstanding job of mixing and shuffling as these guys do. You try mixing William Shatner into a song and make him sound good!

That notwithstadning, every song on '64-'95 was well produced and has a better dance-floor appeal than anything on "Lost Horizons" or "KY." Love how they mixed the chords and vocals of Ralph Tresvant's "Sensitivity" (1990) into the groovin', "A Man Like Me." I also dig the warmth and summery feel of "Make Things Right" which reminds me of an Arrested Development tune, and the hyper-drive of "Come Down on Me" and "The Slow Train".

Deakan and Franglen certainly know there stuff and they know how to keep their sound interesting without veering too far off the beaten path. To me, this body of work surpasses any of their past material, or any material by folks of their ilk--Yeah, That's right, you nay-sayers! I said it!!

Fantastic Job, Lemon Jelly! Highly Recommended!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars It Was ..., May 26, 2006

This record deserves the 5 stars for "Stay With You" Alone, however the rest of the tracks are equally as catchy if you give them a chance. You MUST have in mind that this is more of a "what's inside their heads when they hear..." rather than a 100% original Lemon Jelly product. THEY WARN YOU ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DISC 'this is not like our last cd', so why would you be so stupid as to compare them? And though they're awesome Chillout producers, they're wonderful House/Dance producers as well. I say it again and again, they deserve 5 stars for this whole record and for having the guts of showing us what it's like inside their turntables.
