  1. PopMatters

    It is a fantastic album, no less so than the one before it.
  2. AllMusic
    90
    It's breathtaking and essential listening for all fans of electronic music.
  3. Splendid
    90
    Though sampling has been done to death, the stealthiness which which Deakin and Franglen incorporate their borrowed material will be required study for wannabe producers and hop-headz; in that regard, it's on a par with the seminal Paul's Boutique.
  4. Uncut
    70
    The tone is less whimsical, occasionally ecstatic, and at times reminiscent of big beat. [Mar 2005, p.91]

  5. Under The Radar

    It takes their happily slanted electronic sound and infuses it with a sinister mood and heavy guitar sounds. [#8, p.106]

    '64-'95 succeeds when Lemon Jelly stick to their bread and butter: pleasant and facile ambience.
  7. Magnet
    20
    Feels like a product of the past. Not the distant past, either, where at least its retrofits could be forgiven as homage. Lemon Jelly captures electronica circa 1993. [#67, p.102]

    Okay. So, I've had this cd a month now. At first I would've thrown a 6 or 7 rating at this, but it grows baby. Great headphone Okay. So, I've had this cd a month now. At first I would've thrown a 6 or 7 rating at this, but it grows baby. Great headphone material and something new is discovered at every listen. If you've listened to this album, don't disregard it. Put it back on and let it guide it's way back into your brain.… Expand

    I've never had an album grow on me like this did - listen again, and again if necessary. It's stunningly brilliant.

    Few electronic albums are able to stretch a smile across my face as wide as Lemon Jelly's incomparable pastiche exercise, Few electronic albums are able to stretch a smile across my face as wide as Lemon Jelly's incomparable pastiche exercise, '64-95.'

    Wow. This album is insnae.... a complete journey of sight (!!) and sound featuring textures of the past and present intricately woven Wow. This album is insnae.... a complete journey of sight (!!) and sound featuring textures of the past and present intricately woven together. The samples are ones that you've probably never heard before creating a newness and vitatlity to the work. But even better is the DVD. Skip the CD, and go startight fro the DVD. This is a visual album and what Lemon Jelly has created transcends art to create experience.… Expand

    As many other reviews have said, this album sis a grower! After one complete listen through I was really disappointed. After KY & LostAs many other reviews have said, this album sis a grower! After one complete listen through I was really disappointed. After KY & Lost Horizons I considered 64-95 to be quite a lazy album. A band with immense vision and talent who had only used about half it...

    However after a few more listens I'd say this album is actually very good. In some ways it is more subtle than the previous 2, it is not as quirky, jolly or humorous but it is the tiny little embellishments that build the album into a whole. One of those albums that you can hear something different everytime you play it.    … Expand

    starts slowly then grows into a monster. very much a sample/sequencer moment, but in no way does that affect the overall musical interest. starts slowly then grows into a monster. very much a sample/sequencer moment, but in no way does that affect the overall musical interest. some real gems too(don't stop now/shouty track)… Expand
