Title: Leaving the Living Room for the Clubs
Product review: This album defintely marks a new direction for Lemon Jelly. Those expecting an extension/continuation of their last two albums are probably going to be slightly disappointed, as the band has traded in the stoned and spacy headphone grooviness of those albums for a more club-oriented "House" sound, as if they wanted to be Groove Armada. This works for the most part, though on some songs they lose the uniqueness of sound that made it usually very easy to identify a Lemon Jelly song for a sound that's too generic and repetitive ("Don't Stop Now" is an example of this). Other songs however, such as "Come Down On Me" with its sample of a Masters of Reality song (that one was a blast from the past, Chris Goss, hope you're recovering well), do signify an interesting new direction for the band. The ending track with Shatner seems a continuation of the collaboration "Together" (also recommended) from Shatner's new solo album and is also quite enjoyable.
