Nick Franglen and Fred Deakin, the chilled-out electronica jokesters who released one of 2002's finest albums in Lost Horizons, are back with '64-'95, a new collection of down-tempo beats that finds this duo heading towards a more serious path musically. Did I say serious? I meant boring. What gives with these guys? Lost Horizons was bursting with impish energy in the form of dance gems like "Nice Weather For Ducks" and "Space Walk," but all that fun has taken a massive detour into dullsville.

If you're the kind of individual who enjoys repetitively lame beats laced with the same vocals repeated over and over again for five to six minutes straight, then '64-'95 was certainly recorded with you in mind. If you enjoy any sort of originality however, this new Lemon Jelly endeavor is sorely lacking. The only moments that shine through on '64-'95 (which, by the way, is named after the years in between that all these samples are taken from; yet another boring aspect) are the drum and bass heavy "The Slow Train," which beats are anything but, and the ending track "Go" which feature engulfing vocals from the incomparable William Shatner. Those two moments however don't go very far toward saving this album from its own self-imposed monotony.
