Zero7

[Coltrane]

'Simple Things' is a great album. What sort of music is it? I'd describe it as very chilled, kick back and relax music.

'Simple Things' is a great album.

I suspect he probably wants to know about the new one "When It Falls", though. "Simple Things" is ace, but apparently, "When It Falls" is a lot blander, and lacking any real good stuff.

He? Last time I looked, wenches were generally female! Hmph!

Many apologies. I don't tend to look at names.

I rather liked Simple Things, mainly (only?) for Distractions and Waiting Line, but as these fine chaps have proclaimed it can't touch Air's Moon Safari (or even Talkie Walkie).

I saw an ad on tv last night for the Zero7 album, and it sounded quite good. Never having heard of them before, has anyone here? What sort of music is the album, and is it worth adding to my Amazon wishlist?

Cheers!

Do you own Moon Safari, Wench? If not, I strongly suggest you buy that instead. Zero 7 are world famous as the plebeian's Air.

I'm really enjoying the new album. I've only heard a few songs off Simple Things but thought I'd give the album a go seeing as it was only £8.49 at Amazon and I wanted something new to listen to.

The reviews for it aren't all great, some accusing it of being more of the same but seeing as I havent heard much of them anyway I guess it didnt bother me and I'm liking it very much, lovely to listen to, whether or not it lives up to pervious work or not.

Get Simple Things first, then the new one should you like it. There's no real reason to get the new one before Simple Things. Oh, and I believe HMV have got it in a promotion at the mo for only £6.

'When it Falls' has nowhere as near as many memorable tunes as their first album,and to be honest I found it a little bland in comparison.

However,this week I sampled its delights whilst smoking some particularly strong homegrown and it all made sense.Its more of a 'vibey' album and sets the mood perfectly for a nice chilled evening.

Well worth picking up cheap
