Get Lost is an album by The Magnetic Fields, released in 1995. It was released on vinyl for the first time in 2008

Taking its cue from the downbeat electronica of British bands like the Human League and Soft Cell and the ecstatic melancholia of ABBA, it manages to be both lo-fi in execution and epic in scope.^{[original research?]}
