Lost In Space

You've probably heard Aimee Mann's story a dozen times: how, after releasing albums on Geffen in the 90s ...

It is, in a sense, a trick of the times that Lost in Space conveys such a vivid visual quality; thanks to the high profile given to her music on the Magnolia soundtrack, it's now impossible to miss the narrative strength of Mann's writing.

Recorded by producer-on-the-rise Ryan Freeland, the album is lush without becoming too glossy.
