5 out of 5 stars Awesome to hear the old masters almost live........2007-03-27

It was an awesome experience to hear Ragtime and early blues played by the masters themselves. When you hear the music from their own hands, if not their own pianos, it makes the music immediate, and makes even clearer the stylistic differences of the various American musical pioneers. The sound quality is excellent. I'd strongly recommend this recording to anyone who enjoys early-20th-century jazz.

5 out of 5 stars The Greatest Ragtime of the Century.......2005-10-30

What a terrific CD. What a joy to add to your life. Everyone should begin their day with this Great Ragtime.We would all be much better.

As a former dancer, Flapper, wth the Charleston in my routine, I do appreciate Great Music. I'm not quite as good as I used to be, but neither are you, Gal. Will be 66 next birthday. Still have the rhythm and love life.

Put some spice in your life and don't let this CD get away. Please, just get it today.

5 out of 5 stars A great introduction and sampling........2005-08-23

Prior to this album, the only ragtime I really knew was "The Entertainer" and "Maple Leaf Rag". I don't know how this album fares for enthusiasts, but I've thoroughly enjoyed it. It introduced me to several different composers. The way the album is organized by giving you a two or three song block by each composer is good. As you listen to this, you can easily hear the different styles from one composer to another. As for the recording quality, I don't have any complaints whatsoever. Each note is clear without much noticable fuzz or hissing. The versions of Scott Joplin's songs are played a bit brash and speedy when compared to Joshua Rifkin, but I think they sound livlier because of it. Overall a solid release.

In both sound quality and price, England's JSP Records continues to put the American major labels to shame with their prewar jazz collections. Following superb multidisc releases of seminal recordings by Louis Armstrong and Django Reinhardt, JSP now offers this Jelly Roll Morton compendium, which includes all his Victor recordings from 1926 to 1930. Thanks to the work of remastering guru John R.T. Davies and a sinfully reasonable price, this five-disc collection far surpasses any U.S. release. The music is exuberant and evocative throughout, as Morton's substantial composing and arranging talents come into clear focus. He was able to maintain the joyous ensemble spirit of New Orleans jazz while continuing the music's evolution toward swing's sophistication. Focusing on Morton's Chicago prime, volume 1 is full of highlights, not just of this set, but of early jazz as a whole. Especially noteworthy is the trio date with the Dodds brothers, from June 1927, that yielded "The Pearls," "Wolverine Blues," and "Mr. Jelly Lord."

Volume 2 follows Morton to New York and features a few forceful piano solos, a strong session with trumpeter Red Allen and unsung clarinet player Albert Nicholas, plus a standout trio date with clarinetist Barney Bigard and drummer Zutty Singleton. Volume 3 is not as consistently brilliant, but offers some gems as well, including cuts with Nicholas and trumpeter Ward Pinkett on board from July 1930. The final two discs contain mostly alternative takes, but unfortunately, the masters of Morton's terrific New York session debut are for some reason buried at the end of disc four's alternates. It is, however, a tiny caveat considering the overall worth of this indispensable box. --Marc Greilsamer

5 out of 5 stars outstanding..........2007-02-14

A better buy simply does not exist. Well remasted and probably the best time frame of Jelly Roll's career.

5 out of 5 stars Gems from the 1920s.......2006-12-28

These sides are treasures from the 1920s. Just as JSP's "Louis Armstrong and the Hot Five and Seven", they have been miticulously restored to their former glory. There is very little distortion. What a marvel of modern technology. Get these gems before they go out of print!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent And Superior Set: Best By Far!.......2006-12-23

This is a bargain, both the price and the sound quality of this Jelly Roll Morton set. While I do have a few of Jelly Roll Morton's CDs, this one is just terrific. The remastering of this set is just simply put the best that I have ever heard. As far as I know, the complete recordings, both original and alternate takes are complete. One of the viewers mentioned that he only likes 1920s sound, and this does not measure up. I also am a 1920s person, and I believe it more than measure up. It's great and fun music. If you are a jazz fan, or like the music of early America [especially that sweet jazz sound] then I would highly recommend this CD for your collection. With all of Jelly Roll Morton's sessions from 1926-1930, remastered with an incredible sound, then look no futher than this CD collection.

Moreover, the price is a great bargain. Also, I was not aware of JSP, and the problems that this particular distributor of music was embroiled in. However, the sound is just great. And I do highly recommend it to all viewers. I am not sure if amazon has a listening sample [I am pretty sure they do] but if they do, I would highly recommend you listening to these great sounds. Of course nothing sounds as good as it would on your stero, however, if you have never listened to Jelly Roll Morton, then I would recommend you take a few minutes out of your time and listen to the listening sampling's that amazon offers its viewers. [If it is there]. And if not, listen to some of the other Jelly Roll Morton CD samples that I do know are listed. Jelly Roll Morton's place in the pantheon of jazz is paramount to anyone who wants to build a jazz collection. And I recommend that you start with these magnificent recordings. Highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Great Set -- unfortunate that it's JSP.......2005-09-15

With lawsuits flying about in Europe and John Steadman being sued for allegedly stealing Bear's Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers box sets, it is slightly troubling to acknowledge that this Jelly Roll Morton set is on his pirate label. The liner notes are "ehh -- okay." The layout is a little confusing, with alternate takes appearing on opposite discs, rather than in chronological order, but that's a minor issue.

Otherwise, the sound quality is superb, another smashing John R. T. Davies production! The impact of Morton's body of work is incalculable --- what a vital set for any jazz collection!

3 out of 5 stars Technically great but leaves this twenties fan cold.......2005-05-30

I love twenties and thirties music and have a large collection of it. While I know that Jelly Roll is very important to the history of jazz, there is very little of his music that I enjoy. I recognize the technical virtuosity and the improvisational inventiveness. I prefer my twenties jazz sweetened up with the melody prominent, not simply a starting point for improvisation and jamming. Much of this type of Jazz wears on me the way those twenty minute guitar or bass or drum solos from the late sixties wore on me. Yes, I can hear that you can do incredible things with your instrument. Fine. You have my admiration, but not my love. This album is not going to be played every month (or year) the way my Six Jumping Jacks albums are played. Sure, Morton and his bands are the better musicians but the SJJ's have my love the way that The Kingsmen's version of "Louie, Louie," is my favorite version of that song. I'm glad I have this but it won't get played much.

Jelly Roll Morton was at a creative peak in Chicago in 1926 and '27, surrounded by first-rate fellow New Orleans musicians and with plenty of opportunities to record. Many of the musicians who contributed to Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings appear here--trombonist Kid Ory, banjoist Johnny St. Cyr, clarinetist Johnny Dodds, and his drummer brother Baby Dodds--while George Mitchell contributes sterling cornet leads. Each track is a compressed masterpiece, a jigsaw puzzle of written composition, improvised ensembles, solos and duets, often with sound effects and bantering comic patter thrown in. "Black Bottom Stomp" and "The Chant" are brilliant examples of Morton's energized fusion of contrasting elements, while the piquant "Someday Sweetheart," with its combination of violins, guitar, and Omer Simeon's bass clarinet, demonstrates Morton's inventiveness as an orchestrator. From low humor to high mimicry, Morton was an artist of ebullient spirit who brought the whole of his experience to the recording studio: the car horn of "Sidewalk Blues," the forced laughter of "Hyena Stomp," and the barnyard vocals of "Billy Goat Stomp." By contrast, the final Chicago session includes compact trio performances of "Wolverine Blues" and "Mr. Jelly Lord" by Morton and the Dodds brothers that are refined intersections of ragtime and jazz improvisation. --Stuart Broomer

5 out of 5 stars "Ain't nobody dead somebody must be dead drunk!".......2005-05-12

"Jelly Roll" Morton's Red Hot Peppers, one of the greates jazz bands to ever assemble, recorded the song, "Dead Man Blues" in 1927 and the title quote is at the beginning with two brothers arguing if there is a New Orleans funeral or not. The funny quote is when the other brother says that he thinks somebody must be dead, and then the other guy snaps back with that hilarious quote. HA HA!

Jelly Roll was the first important composer of 1920's jazz and these are his finest recordings. They are strongly recommended to the classic jazz fan and are among my all time favorite pieces of jazz from an era which it named

5 out of 5 stars One of the very best.......2002-09-22

As a new fan of jazz, I picked this up to see where it began. Jelly Roll claims to be the father of jazz and this cd will make you think he just might have been. Each of the songs are excellent, masterful and will make even the most stoic person tap their foot. All of them are great and memorable. Jelly Roll played jazz with spirit, pizazz and mastery. One song especially good was "Dr Jazz" because you get to hear him sing but all of them are great. He put his heart into his music and that shows. The sound is also very good and adds to the enjoyment.

They truly don't make music like this anymore and this cd will show you that Jelly Roll was one of the best performers of last century. If you want something original and enjoy music from the golden age, pick this up. Its the best!

5 out of 5 stars This is Cool, Man, Van Cool.......2002-08-14

I have this at work all the time & is my #1 listenin' CD. I can stop people in their tracks when they here the sounds. The only complaint I have is it has a slighly uneven quality between tracks. But due to the age of the recordings (20's & early 30's), it is understandable that it is that way. Even so, I absolutely LOVE IT!

5 out of 5 stars Jelly serves it up HOT!.......1999-11-20

Simply some of the best music ever recorded. The opening bars of "The Chant" sound like something Stravinsky would have liked to compose. Sizzlin' soloists, cookin' compositions, the tastiest remastered sound with steamin' highs and punchy lows -- buy it, baby, buy it! Jelly always serves it up hot and smokin'!

5 out of 5 stars Birth of the Hot: The Essence of Jelly Roll Morton.......1999-07-05

While there are many Jelly Roll Morton recordings on the market today, none are as superbly digitally remastered or include such a fine selection of tunes from Morton. Jelly Roll indeed was his hottest between 1926-27. These songs are IT -- the essence of New Orleans jazz. "Black Bottomed Stomp," "Sidewalk Blues," "Dr. Jazz," "The Chant" -- they're all here. Quite frankly, I have over 100 jazz CD's and this one ranks in my top ten. I could write a paragraph about each song on the album -- from the sizzling clarinet solo in "Black Bottomed Stomp," to the shouting and car horn included in "Side Walk Blues," to the sad melodic wailing in "Dead Man Blues." In recent years, many jazz artists, such as Dick Hyman, have tried re-create these old recordings themselves. But the truth is no one can quite capture that frenetic yet completely coherent excitement that is distinctly Morton. I highly recommend this CD.

this album will never be more than a novelty, despite a few funny tracks.
to the guy who sounded all high and mighty with his tool comment, note that maynard sings ONE line on the entire album, so making a comment like 'hes the vocalist' would be quite an overstatement. sometimes actually using your brain/ears does wonders

3 out of 5 stars Jelly-filled........2005-11-27

When I think of the origins of Green Jelly (Jello), I think of some metal-heads who decided they would have the most fun as a band if they tried to be as stupid as possible. I mean that in a good way. A glance at the album cover should tip you off. Musically these guys are fairly competent, and come off as a decent alt/punk/metal act, (think Gwar or The Dwarves). However, it's lyrically that these guys let loose, and make their name. I'd imagine Beavis and Butthead would love this band. Truthfully alot of it is pretty funny, and they're probably rather smart to sound so not. I have to admit, I only play this disc once a year at most, but I'm glad it's there when I need that fix.

5 out of 5 stars I Love this Cd.......2005-09-23

from what i read and have reseached, this band only made 2 CD's too bad, because they were great. they were once knowns as green jello, till they were about to be or were (not sure) sued by the jello company. They will always be known as Green Jello to me. When i first heard this CD, i was around teh age of 4-6, I guess my dad had bought it. the only song i ever heard at that age was 3 little pigs. years, later still listening to that song, i decided to listen to the whole album. I enjoyed every single song. litke i havr read some of the songs are not for little kids, but then again i don't care, i would let my offsprings listen to it at an early age. i can't tell you to buy it or not, but i can tell you is that, this album and band are fun to listen too. personally i love the Obey the Cowgod. even now i will occasional pop in the CD and listen to the music.

5 out of 5 stars I'm old school. They're still Green Jello to me.......2004-12-07

Oh the brilliance. This album has quietly etched itself a spot in the hearts of all rock n rollers. When they first attacked our visual and auditory senses on MTV with 'Three Little Pigs' we all knew that this band was worthy of being checked out. And right we were.

WHo else could take the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the UK" and turn it into a Yabba-Dabbo-doo Flinstone's Theme song? Brilliant I say again.

Of course this album can be played the whole way through without hitting the >> button once. Who can deny themselves of driving down the highway while screaming out "It's Poo poo! Poo poo! Poo Poo! I got poo poo on my shoe!" Yes we all remember singing this driving 90 MPH down I-75.

Good ol' trailer trash metal I call this. And you know what? There are thousands of bands making music like this everyday. Just checkout sites like SOundclick.com and Garageband.com. There are some really sick, crazy people out there (My self included. I am lead singer and guitarist for The Buttplugs). We can thank Green Jello for starting this wave of mass stupidity and foresight. This is the band that revolutionized the home recording studio.

Inde musicians everywhere must bow to the brilliance (I say it again) of this band for opening the doors for all the lunatics. Green Jello may have been the first 'Video Only' band, but they are far from the last. I just want to say on behalf of all guitar playing perverts........Thank you Green Jello.

5 out of 5 stars amazing.......2004-06-24

4 out of 5 stars Brass at its Best Ever........2005-10-22

A few years ago, I couldn't get enough of the Canadian Brass music. They were a delight to watch and to hear. They put so much spirit and talent into each performance, it was a wonder to behold. In this collection, there is a stirring Sousa grouping, Carnival of Venice, Pachelbel: Canon, and The Flight of the Bumblebees. It's a fantastic selection; they've recorded jazz and silly songs. For an obvious reason, the brass section is my favorite in any band or orchestra; two of my sons played the same trombone several years apart in the Pulaski school bands. Although Jeff, the flutist, was concertmaster his last year, I loved the way Zach and Justin mastered the trombone. Kenny's specialty was the trumpet (as was Chuck Southcott's), which shines through the brass section and is usually the star instrument.

These talented performers use comedy and fun to overshaow their fantastic performances. Hear them just once, and you will be hooked.

4 out of 5 stars Almost the first collection.......2004-10-25

This album is the recording of the Canadian Brass's first collection. Very old one, and here's the memeber list: Bb Trumpet - Ron Romm, C trumpet - Fred Mills, Frech Horn - David Ohanian, Trombone - Gene Watss, Tuba - Chuck Daellanbach. This recording might seem boring, but the performance are so superb that you can hardly wait to listen to it again.

Wynton Marsalis's century-closing series of jazz and classical recordings isn't nearly the pulse-quickening excursion one might expect, what with all the fanfare and all the years the vaunted trumpeter has spent in the limelight. That said, his nod to Jelly Roll Morton is probably one of the better Marsalis recordings available. It's got enough rules built in--compositional economy, instrumental variation, etc.--that it disciplines the trumpeter's more ambitious tendencies. In the liner notes, Marsalis describes Morton dually as a jazz intellectual and a streetwise hustler, and anyone familiar with Morton will know the characterization is apt. Marsalis's read of Morton, however, skips the street hustle and instead focuses on cleanly drawn portraits that amount to fine repertory pieces, works akin to chamber music in their ultimate impact. That's not so much of a putdown as it might seem, as African-American composers are so rarely treated the way European and Euro-American composers are. Morton knew this and wrote his way around it, much as Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus did. And Jelly Roll's stomping-good-time melodies are here to show his knowledge of both his audience and his compositional chops. But if you're expecting something innovative or hair-raising in the way of Marsalis rediscovering an untapped Jelly Roll vein, you'll be greeted instead with full-bore, horn-rich charts that swing strongly. And that ain't half bad. --Andrew Bartlett

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous Reference level recording.......2007-01-12

I am an audio dealer, manufacturer, and enthusiast and a friend introduced this redbook CD to me. I ended up purchasing 6 or 7 more Wynton Marsalys' Standard Time, Vol. 6: Mr. Jelly Lord CDs. I kept one and sent the others to customers, friends, and industry insiders. The music is exciting and the recording quality is reference level. Depending on one's system, this CD can exhibit a very dynamic, exciting, and very real sense of liveliness. Several others have claimed to use it as one of their reference recordings to demonstrate their system's sonic presentation to customers and associates.

I've since purchased several more of the very talented Wynton Marsalis' CDs and have found nearly equal musical excitement and and engineering in these CDs as well.

One of my favorites and a must have.

1 out of 5 stars Mr. Smushy Lord.......2006-05-17

Since the liner notes insist that all jazz is "modern", you'd think Marsalis & Co. would try to put some fresh spin on Jelly Roll's compositions, or at least capture the nuances of the original sides. But no, this is just corny Dixieland oom-pah mush, the stuff tourists hear at Disney World. To appreciate Mr. Morton you will do much better with his original recordings. As Linus screamed to Lucy: "Great art should not be smushed up!"

5 out of 5 stars Absolutley wonderful, perfect, and underatted.......2004-12-28

I still can't believe I actually bought something from Wynton Marsalis. I never thought I would purchase something from a "new" jazz artist (I listen to all jazz, mainly Duke Ellington, Sam Rivers, Albert Ayler, Elvin Jones, Charles Mingus), but my love for New Orleans music is great, so I figured I give this a shot. Damm, these guys are all from New Orleans and it sounds like it. These guys play these song PERFECTLY, there is no "nostalgia" or any other negatives other than the ocassional alto sax solos which dont really fit in as well as plunger muted tumped, trombone, soprano, and the huge vibrato of New Orleans clarinet. These songs by Jelly Roll were perfect to start and they are taken with care and joy. They actually capture the feel of the original recordings, like Louis Armstrong's Hot Fives and Sevens. Wynton may be anoying, pretenious, stuck up, ect., But he can play a hell of a trumpet (whatever that means) and his group is killer.

5 out of 5 stars Wynton At His Best.......2004-06-20

I purchased the minidisc version of this album, and I must say that it is simply astounding. I cannot get enough of this album. The performances are simply superb. If you are looking for an execellent traditional jazz album, to add to your collection, this one is highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars May be too deep for the average rocker.......2005-06-24

I love metal and even I'll admit that metalheads can be a pretty dense lot. We love it loud and fast with minimal intelligence. Green Jelly (still Jello to me) are the masters of lyrics as well as harmonies. The album kicks of with Carnage Rules and doesn't let up at all. This album is heavy, real heavy, it may be too heavy for some (all you Warrant fans). Listen to the song Anthem and you'll know what sex, drugs, and rock n roll are all about. Let 'er rip!

The album is based on a very complicated story. Even more intense than The Elder by KISS. 333 is the half-life of the Beast. It involves carbon dating and complicated symbology. If you begin your trek towards understanding the secrets of 333, beware. There's no looking back once you start. Was Jesus a Martian? Is Wisconsin hell? Does St. Francis of Asissi really hold the secret to tme travel? The answers are yours to discover

5 out of 5 stars Classic Band.......2004-01-18

It makes me sad to know that a talented rock band like this had to break up. I'm not for sure why but for whatever reason it must of been real bad.
Green Jelly (originaly named Green Jello) got sued by Jello company because they named there band after the snack. So Jello company got pissed and sued. If you want my opinion that's just plain stupid. It didn't hurt anyone.
"Cereal Killer Soundtrack" was good but nothing beats this album. From "Carnage Rules" to "The Bear Song" you can't help yourself but to just get up and dance around. There is a song on this album that makes me sad. "Anthem" talks about sex, drugs and rock n'roll and the song has a nice slow goofy beat to it. It reminds me so much of the 90's.
Nothing can bring back the earlier 90's unlike this CD.

2 out of 5 stars ha ha...ha?.......2003-10-12

I'm not sure what these guys were trying to do here. Their first CD was based on the gimmick that they were the worst band in the world, and for what it was worth, was very humorous ("House me Teenage Rave" still cracks me up and "Obey the Cowgod" had a most excellent hook.) But with this CD, it seems like they were just way too full of themselves. There's just not a whole lot of laughs and quite a few of the songs are incomprehensible or just plain lame. (Super Elastic, Fight, Orange Krunch, Anthem, Jump). The only highlights are "Carnage Rules", "Jerk" and "Fixation". If they were going to do this album better, I'd say get over yourselves and put at least twice as many songs into it, to balance out the crap factor (like a certain grindcore band I might name, but can't because I'd be censored!)

5 out of 5 stars Green Jelly Rocks.......2003-05-26

I always been a fan of green jelly since there first album.
333 is the best. Just to let you know there's a video album of
333 on vhs and its out of print.Could there be any chance getting
it reissued on DVD? same thing for cereal killer.
That would be great.

5 out of 5 stars Compaction Of One.......2001-03-11

More direct and focused than Cereal Killer Soundtrack but often equally amusing, 333 finds Green Jelly continuing to parody heavy metal, thrash metal and alternative rock with highly entertaining results. The band is still too self-indulgent for its own good at times, but it's less of a problem than before. Though nothing on this CD is in a class with "Three Little Pigs," tracks like "The Bear Song" (which almost sounds like a sequel to "Pigs"), "Jerk," "Carnage Rules" and "Pinata Hed" showed that the rockers still weren't afraid to have a great deal of fun. Consistently irreverent, Jelly doesn't hesitate to parody everyone from Ministry to Guns N' Roses to the Beastie Boys.

The resurgence of rock in most aspects of popular music has certainly not gone unnoticed by Lemon Jelly's Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen as '64-'95 is littered with epic guitars and explosive refrains nestling amongst the downbeat soul for which they are best known. Opener "Come Down on Me" is tense, fiery, and for the most part dominated by the partnership of crashing power-chords and a lead synth that, while not big-beat, wouldn't sound out of place on an old Lo-Fi's or Chemical Brothers' album. However, for anyone missing the sugary sweetness of Lost Horizons, most of the album is business as usual--strict drum patterns and rolling, mesmeric loops of lush strings, acoustic guitars (that sound great if a little bit cheesy), and lovable bass hooks. Among the deviations in formula are "The Shouty Song," which comes across as some sort of harsh, contemporary jig and "The Slow Train," which utilizes a barber shop quartet to fantastic effect. From start to finish '64-'95 is pretty much devoid of filler and it culminates in the wondrous epic "Go," with the beat poet talents of William Shatner building to a crescendo that'll send anyone home with a smile on their face. --David Trueman

Album Description

Introducing '64-'95, the third instalment in Lemon Jelly's rich history of long-players. Breaking away from any (Jelly) mould, Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen have altered the ship's course somewhat and we are treated to '64-'95; their most diverse record yet. Lemon Jelly have made an album entirely based upon unlikely samples swiped from their vast record collections. Not unlike one of their DJ sets, they flip between musical styles at will and make light work of cramming metal, 70s pop, Euro house, R&B, punk and more into just one album. The title, '64-'95, simply signifies the span in years of the various samples they've used and, as ambitious as the whole thing sounds, it works. The list of musical mavericks willingly plundered in the cause of the good ship Jelly includes 70s popsters Gallagher and Lyle, Scottish post-punkers the Scars, US R&B balladeer Monica and none-more-heavy metallers, the Masters of Reality. Each track manages to come as a complete stylistic surprise without losing any flow from one to the next; having said that, it's probably best not to mention the Maori crooner or Captain James T. Kirk for the moment.

Quit complaining about their new style on this album! They are artists, not copy machines... they make music, and if they need to move on in a different direction, all praise to them!

4 out of 5 stars Finally the melodic hypnotic and a classy piece of work. .......2007-01-20

I'm not usually much for these types of dance hyper-looped over disco-ized affairs. There have been precious few good and decent creative efforts in this vain. The amount of dance music released each year is immense. The amount of good memorable melodic music that can mentally take you to a special place is very rare indeed. Even Lemon Jelly's previous CDs were a little much on the boring side. However with '64-'95 they've managed to tame the eletro-beast, grab my attention and hold it.

Highlights for me were '88 (Come Down On Me) it's a good ole rocking tune, nuff said. '95 (Make Things Right) is a light and breezy tune that leaves you feelin' seriously good. '90 (A Man Like Me) has a good groove that just holds on. Lastly the added touch of the worlds greatest living actor William Shatner patched in on '64 (Go) was a nice touch.

There are still a couple of tunes that I thought were just cop-outs like '93 (Don't Stop Now) just became annoying instead of hypnotic and '76 (The Slow Train) with it's typical D&B drum track made me wanna run the other way.

Anybody can cut and past samples into Acid Pro or Reason and so many "artists" just cop-out take the easy road and neglect the listener for the sake of self indulgence.
But to take a blank pallet and add in loops and samples and chip away at that stone until something musical, melodic and really interesting that still grooves is revealed is... well that's hard.
This album is 80% there.

5 out of 5 stars Old Sounds In New Ways.......2006-06-19

The third Lemon Jelly album is a darker and more complicated affair than what the UK duo of Franglen and Deakin have given the public in the past. This is a concept album in which each song samples from songs recorded between the years 1964 and 1995.

This is an almost schizophrenic collection of ambitious and cleverly crafted songs. The album veers like a roller coaster into realms of hyper-intensity (see the lush-with-static and aptly named "Shouty Track" which lifts bits from "Horror Show" by The Scars) and then suddenly and shockingly eases into liquid and light-as-bubblegum sounds (check out "Stay With You," which borrows judiciously from the Gallagher and Lyle song of almost the same name, and was the first single released from this disc).

With the use of expert timing, some ingenious musical harvesting, and an ear for complimentary dichotomies in music, Lemon Jelly serves up a hot and cold brew of incredibly catchy and soulfully subversive tunes. "A Man Like Me" tip-toes around samples of "Sensitivity" by Ralph Tresvant with windy but heart-thumping chords. The Masters of Reality's "Blue Garden" lends its industrial strength to "Come Down On Me," which kicks this album off with an intoxicating bang. And William Shatner's all-too-recognizable voice gives the last track, "Go," a sense of urgency and freneticism that will make you want to hit the REPEAT button on your player.

This is an album of ups and downs, but only in the best of ways, and for people interested in the tweak and twist of old sounds in new ways, it will be a great addition to your CD collection.

5 out of 5 stars It Was ..........2006-05-27

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.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

A collection of three EPs released in limited quantities by this London duo (Nick Franglen and Fred Deakin), Lemonjelly.ky is what happens when you mix electronic psychedelia with downtempo beats, a selection of warm and organic sounds, a splash of sunshine, and a big dose of smiles. Coming across like a series of electronic fairy tales designed for warm, hazy afternoons in the park, Lemon Jelly are all about a good time, chill style. Kruder & Dorfmeister would approve, as would the Orb, but Lemon Jelly also have a stoner's sense of humor to accompany their warmly chaotic mixes. Take "A Tune for Jack," with its big sea elephants and smooth high-synth sound that evokes the Parisian duo Air, and then try the amusingly instructional voiceover during "The Staunton Lick." Both illustrate clearly that for Lemon Jelly there are no rules other than to let your imagination (fueled as it might be) wander where it must. Indeed, one of the most delightful things about this album, as you meander through stunningly lush pastures like "Homage to Patagonia" and the melancholic romance of "Kneel Before Your God," is its ability to marry great music with a genuine sense of goodwill and happy disorder. If Alice ever did manage to hear some tunes as she tripped about Wonderland, Lemonjelly.ky must have been the soundtrack she enjoyed. --Steffan Chirazi

Album Description

Nick Franglen and Fred Deakin are the London based duo who make up Lemon Jelly. Fred is a DJ and designer whose illustration work frequently appears in The Face magazine. His wobbly, bubbly graphics are a good visual translation of the Lemon Jelly sound. Nick is a producer who has worked with Primal Scream, Bjork and Pulp. The record consists of the three limited edition UK 10 inch EP's that the group released between '98 and '00. The juicy melodious sounds fit in right next to bands like Air and Thievery Corporation but truly exist in a cartoon world of their own. Deluxe gatefold dogipack. 2001 release.

Headline: The Beginner's Guide to Understanding Lemon Jelly

Every artist that to those who haven't heard of them is an "acquired taste" needs an introduction of some sort. An album so early is just rushing into them after and not letting anyone get to know your music or what you do, before expecting something righteous and good on the album. I knew nothing about Lemon Jelly's EPs. I first bought Lost Horizons and fell in love with the album and Lemon Jelly, because it sent me on an adventure in different songs that I would never forget. The "greatest hits" album of '64-'95 just gave me Lemon Jelly's rendition of other people's songs, if he had a chance to remix them all into their own work. Both of them were really good. So I wonder what www.lemonjelly.ky has to offer. After listening to this, it sounds not only like a blueprint for an excellent album like Lost Horizons, but it is a good beginner's guide for those who want to shake hands with Lemon Jelly through the headphones.

The album is actually a collection (call them a reissue, if you'd like) of the three EPs they had created. Each one had some sort of a personality. The Bath EP feel good music; Yellow EP was Adventurous, and Midnight EP had a beautifully nocturnal or magical outlook. The weakest of the three has to be the Bath. "In The Bath" starts off with a spacious instrumental (none the bubbly), with the woman being made to say over the beat, "What do you do in the bath?" And no one quite bothers to answer. But for those who can get past the repetition will find the music quite adventurous. It made me want to picture getting in the shower, slipping on some soap and landing in an ocean, crawling through a pipe, only to end up in a kid's swimming Pool, step on the grass, to be flipped on the other side as the sun shines while the stereotypical Egypt walks towards me, and at the end, I come out of the bath floating in a bubble. All of that while listening to "In the Bath", and it made it even more enjoyable. "Nervous Tension" samples a Yoga-like tape to relax your mind, yet the music doesn't follow too much suit as the song sounds like it is trying to create a soundtrack of Portishead in a day spa. "A Tune for Jack" is just a feel good travel through an instrumental for a sea elephant named Jack, and through both that and an interruption by a baby boy trying to say "bumblebee", the adventure seems pretty worth the trip underwater That was what it is like in The Bath. Now to describe the bright Yellow EP.

Kicking off the Yellow EP was "Our Majesty King Raam", which is a bright salute to King Raam, as well as one of those tracks where you know they went over the time limit somewhere. If they haven't, then this album would do well as the track to have a morning theme to it, because from the keyboard reminiscent of Roy Ayers, thissounds like quite an homage for the track. One that didn't even tell us what kind of man King Raam was, but an homage anyway. Next, is "The Staunton Lick", where at the beginning is an awkward walk-through of how to play "The Staunton Lick" from an instruction tape on how to "Teach Yourself Folk Guitar". From that was born a balloon ride or a view over the canyon, with only your guitar to accompany you there. Now, as for the majestic "Homage to Patagonia", the 9 ½ minutes it takes to spread its worldly charm around is used when one half soundtracks a walk through Patagonia (complete with Chinese strings), and an ending as breathtaking as the sun to the common eye. Now that we got the Yellow EP (known to me as the Morning album), the Midnight EP has plenty in store, if you enjoyed your stay at Yellow.

"Kneel Before Your God" sounds like the song that should have graced the What the Bleep Do We Know!? Movie for it's soundtrack through your mind, and a good way to grace your thoughts on spiritual balance. Speaking of spiritual balance, "Page One" is only majestic if you, too, were to pretend that all around you weren't any pizza parlors, or any streets. Just nothing but a field of life, as God once made it, with a sweep of evolution before your eyes. For that concept alone in the song, it is one of the most beautiful pieces on the album. "Come" ends the collection appropriately with a dream-like interpretation of an angel leading you to a happy and forgiving world. The end of the album is the Morning all over again. Well, the Bath in terms of album sequence.

If I ran the album, this would have been Lemon Jelly's concept album as an ode to one day, made from just three EPs representing Lemon Jelly's hellos. The Bath will be in the middle for that to happen. Lost Horizons and `64-`95 were such adventures that we want to know where it will take us. www.lemonjelly.ky, time-wise, ,may sem a little too long, but it is going to take you a while to get into the trip. Lemon Jelly has that charm. So, if you heard their EPs and only, then you are just learning all about the crazy, quirky, and overall rare charm of Lemon Jelly. The crash course is when you buy their further concept-based recordings. That's where the real vacations begin.

Lemon Jelly.KY is just as smooth as the lubricant itself! Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen have produced a bevy of downtempo songs that exude whimsical basslines and outlandish samples. Each track is a masterpiece that shows this duo has an oddball sense of humor as well as an ear for what sounds damn good in your living room and in your vehicle. This is indeed music for lovers of chill-out, acid and lounge. Highly Recommended!!!

4 out of 5 stars JELLY ROLL.......2005-08-26

Very mello and i can put it in and just relax and the music doesn't take over ,it adds to the mood. Better than the second disc but the second is worth a listen also.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars By half of Lemon Jelly; no new material. Caveat emptor........2007-07-15

While Fred Deakin of Lemon Jelly did pull this triple compilation together, don't be deceived and thing this is a Lemon Jelly album. It has quite a range of material on it, but may not align with your idea of what a Lemon Jelly album is. Additionally, there is no new Lemon Jelly track included either.

But if you're looking for a mixed chill out/trippy/funky album, perhaps you might enjoy it.
