'64 - '95 (2005) |
|
'64 - '95 is the second studio album (third if you count the compilation Lemonjelly.KY) by Lemon Jelly. The concept album contains tracks that take samples from songs recorded between the years 1964 and 1995. The number that precedes the song title denotes from which year the sample is taken.
The album is rather different from their previous two releases in that it has a darker sound and is influenced by more modern sounding music. To avoid confusion over the matter, the band included a sticker on the sleeve stating, "This is our new album, it's not like our old album."
A hidden track, "Yes!", appears before track 1 on the special edition CD version of the album. A DVD version of the album was also released, with animated videos for each track.
The inclusion of the sample of "Horrorshow" by the Scars, a group that was at the time considered to be rather obscure, helped spur a re-interest in the Scottish post-punkers and helped to reunite some of the members of the band. This event eventually resulted in the group finally being able to release their long out-of-print album Author! Author! onto CD. Fred Deakin was a fan of the group in his adolescence.
