Seem to have found my ideal style of music for riding to (off road, at night, aware of the risks etc etc), and it's Lemon Jelly's 64-95
Seems they only have 2 or 3 albums though. Anyone got anything of a similar theme they can recommend?

Zero7. Air. Some daft punk. Frou Frou. A lot of jamiroquai albums have instrumentals on.
Can't remember exactly what they sound like, a mate was into em though.
At a guess:
Nightmares on wax, Mr scruff, Coldcut.
Buy this....t'is great.
+1 for Zero 7, Soulwax, Jean Michelle Jarre, Moby, Orbital, Yellow.
Get Bent.
Music by the band of that name, obvs.
And Burt Bacharach's greatest hits if you really want to take the lounge out onto the trail.
The Avalanches
Probably most of the Hotel Costes albums
Kruder and Dorfmeister
Any Ninja Tune stuff
Kid Loco
Bent
Aim
Nightmares on Wax
Groove Armada, Bonobo, Bent, William Orbit, DJ Yoda, Four Tet
Royksopp
Get yourself on Spotify and setup the radio, great way to discover new stuff, in line with stuff you already like.
Lemon Jelly are brilliant KY is one of my favorite albums - There's nothing exactly like them, but lots of good recommendations here.. I'd add Bonobo and Thievery Corporation to the list.
+1 Kid Loco
And check this out...

From a criminally underrated 1997 album on Bungalow, Spring & Friends.
Hopefully still available to buy via DL and highly recommended.
Kinobe, Leftfield, Blue States, Mint Royale, Now, Mr Scruff, Aim.
Thanks all. A good range of suggestions there - and quite a few repetitions that must be worth a listen.
Very much liking that Kid Loco you tube thing above - I presume that's the whole album?
I reckon Bonobo, Mr Scruff and Dreadzone are all worth adding to the list.
I presume that's the whole album?
It is, and he also did an awesome collection of his remixes with an "artistic" cover, this is my fave...
hold down a chord of C pluck a fretted bass string with the thumb of the right hand....
Lemon Jelly kick(ed?) ass. Don't actually know if they've jacked it in or just having a long rest.
Got some pretty good LJ mixes in aac format for my old phone can't seem to find the mp3 originals to stick on my current mp3 player tho 🙁
definitley heard mr scruff mentioned as similar not tracked any down myself tho, I like mint royale too but wouldn't say they were *that* similar.

Just looking at that CD amongst others on ebay. Some of them are worth buying for the album covers alone [/perv]

A looooonnnnngggg hiatus as far as I can find out
Been enjoying Gramatik on Spotify today [url= https://play.spotify.com/album/6zRPOKKIiUEQPGYnLoavVj ]clicky[/url]
I reckon you'll like it too

That CD's great, but listen to the later stuff before you shell out for it - he had a bit of a change of direction.
Also nightmares on wax - Smokers delight, Carboot Soul and In a space outta sound three very good albums.
You could add Bonobo for the 4th time! 😉
Also Bonobo Black Sands
Saw the,m live a few times. They were great! I remember seeing them at Manchester Academy 3, when they first released KY. They gave everyone a goody bag when you came in with their (brilliant) artwork, badges and balloons and stuff in. And some bingo cards. Then instead of the support band, they had a few games of Bingo to win signed, framed original artwork. Reading the numbers out while they were dressed as grim reapers. It was bizarre. I've got a massive A0 signed print of the artwork to KY 😀
Some good suggestions above. Try the Kings of Convenience or Erlend Øye's solo stuff, particularly his DJ Kicks album
David Holmes
Union Jack's album 'There will be no Armageddon'.
And the rather later follow up 'Pylon Pigs'

Emancipator...
Never listened to Bonobo before, very pleasant.
🙂
shit robot, terranova, fc kahuna, bonobo ( black sands remixed is much better than the original IMO ), adam f, a forest mighty black, yello ( as nearly suggested 😉 ), audioweb.
should keep you out of trouble for a bit!
"Inform Educate Entertain" by Public Service Broadcasting is the best album I've heard in a very long time.
Oh and I forgot about If the 60s Were 90s by Beautiful People.
And moving on a bit Unkle & Mogwai, listening to Rave Tapes now, it's good.
similar style to Lemon Jelly
Mogwai
lolz.
Hence the comment about moving on a bit. Kind of like I have over the years from The Orb, Orbital, Lemon Jelly etc. now have all that plus Public Service broadcasting, Mogwai etc etc. all work well for me when riding and when I'm in the same kind if mood generally and want to listen to music.
I've got a couple of Lemon Jelly albums, never listen to them now, but this was kind of about what the op wanted...
Try ' future loop foundation - a very English summer'. That's the nearest I've ever heard to lemon jelly!
So much music to explore, so little time.
It's good to know that there are still some gems out there waiting to get discovered (by me!)
Mogwai is a band I've wanted to explore for years (literally!). Think I'll be getting my money's worth from Spotify this month...
I'll have to have a think and a trawl through my collection.
Music in a similar style to Lemon Jelly
Marmalade
Chopper Squad - Thanks, great album.
Not exactly like Lemon Jelly, but I enjoy a lot of what has been recommended above and would suggest you try and find some Hexstatic. Really enjoying them just now. Found by listening on Jango.com. Tremendous for finding new sources of listening.
