Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Zero 7's ability to conjure beautiful lullabies with all the romance of 1960s French pop, as found on their debut long-player Simple Things, would have made them the toast of soundtrack composers and chillout connoisseurs the world over. Unfortunately, two French men beat Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker to the title of Masters Of Comedown Cool, leaving the London duo to a life time of being termed the British Air. And justifiably so to some degree; the similarities between Zero 7's lush cinematic soundscapes and those of Air's Moon Safari and The Virgin Suicides Soundtrack are so strong as to sound almost intentional. Nonetheless, their debut is a truly gorgeous album. All the tried and tested atmospheric tricks are in play--bleeps and whooshes layered over plodding Fender Rhodes chords, swathes of strings and tender trumpet parps--but it's Binns & Hardaker's languid grooves and the soft melancholy of their melodies that make dream-state instrumentals "Give It Away" and "Polaris" utterly enchanting. The real power of Simple Things, however, is in its songs. As beautiful as their ambient strains are, it's when laid beneath the seductive vocals of Australian diva Sia on the ethereal "Destiny" or the heart breaking "Distractions" that their potency becomes apparent. With such moving tracks as these, Zero 7 dispel the notion that Simple Things is just another collection of nice background music and that they're just riding on Air's coattails. --Dan Gennoe

5.0 out of 5 stars 素晴らしいアルバム, 2003/2/27
 another late nightでは選曲でそのセンスの高さを感じさせたzero7。このsimple thingsではzero7オリジナルの曲が堪能できる。

 このアルバムはほんとに素晴らしいアルバムなので是非聞いて欲しいです。アルバムとしてとても完成されているし、全体を通しての雰囲気がとても美しい。よくチルアウトジャズと言われているがまさにそんな感じ。バックミュージックとしてもいいし、朝や夜の寝る前には最高だし、フロアでも流せると思います。

 おすすめは3曲目のdestiny。いつまでも聞ける名曲です!
 少しでも興味のある方は迷わず買って聞いてみてください。絶対に後悔はしないはずです。

5.0 out of 5 stars 不眠解消アルバム, 2003/6/26
By soundprofiler-All Music Guide- - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
なぜならこれは『ララバイ』だから。入眠儀式に最適。ふんわか『羽毛布団』みたいにあなたを包み込むこと必至。読書の時のBGMに最適なのでは。お部屋の空気洗浄機的なアイテム。
サラウンドで聴くと効果抜群。
ダウンテンポでロマンチックなアンビエントテクノと言えそう。
アロマテラピーの音楽バージョン
10点中10点  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
