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.
The track "Nice Weather for Ducks" is an edit from the popular Dutch children's song "Alle eendjes zwemmen in het water" (translated: All the ducks are swimming in the water).

Famous quotes containing the word jelly:
“In this Journal, my pen is a delicate needle point, tracing out a graph of temperament so as to show its daily fluctuations: grave and gay, up and down, lamentation and revelry, self-love and self-disgust. You get here all my thoughts and opinions, always irresponsible and often contradictory or mutually exclusive, all my moods and vapours, all the varying reactions to environment of this jelly which is I.”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
