Which is why you should keep listening. I can't tell you how much Bill has widened my musical universe. Yeah, some stuff I don't like, but I tell myself I don't get it - yet....

camworld: That's funny, I thaught of Lalo Schifrin immediately, too. What/Who exactly is Patagonia ?
 

It's where the original Dread Pirate Roberts retired to.

Well, Roberts had grown so rich, he wanted to retire. He took me to his cabin and he told me his secret. 'I am not the Dread Pirate Roberts', he said. 'My name is Ryan; I inherited the ship from the previous Dread Pirate Roberts, just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited it from is not the real Dread Pirate Roberts either. His name was Cummerbund. The real Roberts has been retired fifteen years and living like a king in Patagonia.'

I don't know what this music has to do with Patagonia, but it's cool.

Only two tracks in the library Bill?  This is a great track, enjoying it more with every listen.  Would have loved to have had it on my walkman many years ago when hiking at the southern end of Patagonia!

Ok, so now how about Lemon Jelly’s best songs... Please...

Cool, and just the sort of thing I expect on RP. An interesting factoid about the Argentinian part of Patagonia is that there's a large Welsh-origin community there (Wikipedia article). Strange but true. It was a minor complicating factor in the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas war between the UK and Argentina.


 
I agree with RP you do not know what to expect and THAT IS GOOD

Seconded.  Lemon Jelly is cool.  There are videos on Youtube you can check out.  I first heard them on a Pandora station I made and it was a trippy techno sounding song.  They do have a lot of variety.

Thirded if that's a word!  It is all very gentle and quirky.  Listen to it all on Spotify (sorry Bill...) before you decide.

Reminds me of Yoshida Brothers, (although I don't think that's what they were going for). All in all, not bad. 7

I just came back from Patagonia and there was nothing there which sounded like this. Now I am back in groovy Santa Barbara and everything sounds kinda like this.

Kinda groovy.  I keep music like this, The Mermen, Palo Alto, The Bad Plus, Orbital, FSOL and other instrumental bands around to play when I'm working and voices would be distracting.

This is such a welcome relief after the unpleasant side trip into eclecticism's dark side (Finn Brothers>>Elvis Costello>>Mark Knopfler) that I'm not sure that I've rated it better than it deserves. Kool!

I don't mean to sound dumb, but the song really matches the place.

George Orwell wrote about his experiences in the Spanish civil war in "Homage to Catalonia". (Catalonia is a region in the North-East of Spain, where Barcelona is)
I don't know if the song title is related, but it immediately made me think of the book.

The opening sounded so much like Pizzicato Five's Twiggy Twiggy that I was preparing to dance The Frug for the next 4 mintues. This song was good, but I am dissappointed it wasn't Twiggy Twiggy.

I am not convinced that any of the instruments are "real", I hear them all as samples from a keyboard....all electronic. It is a cool song though.

Ha - part of a review I found on Yahoo! ... Lemon Jelly's inner Pizzicato 5 rears its head on "Homage To Patagonia", although, I dare say, Lemon Jelly shows far more restraint than its hyper Japanese counterparts with concentrated samples and well-crafted tunes. ??
