Lost Horizons
Encyclopedia
Lost Horizons is the second album release (and the first studio proper, since the previous album Lemonjelly.ky
was a compilation of their debut EPs) from Lemon Jelly
, released in October 2002. The album produced two charting singles in the UK, "Space Walk" and "Nice Weather for Ducks". It was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2003. The album has more organic instrumentation than its predecessor, hence the addition of session musicians.
Like Lemonjelly. KY, several tracks have been used as incidental
and ident
music by the BBC
. Part of the track "Curse of Ka'Zar" has been used by the Turner Classic Movies
channel as background music to a promo for their 30 Days of Oscar month.
The track Space Walk is set to a recording of Ed White
's 1965 space walk
on the Gemini 4
mission.
In full, the album's duration is precisely one hour.
