Zero 7's ability to conjure beautiful lullabies with all the romance of 1960s French pop (as found on their debut LP, Simple Things) would have made them the toast of soundtrack composers and chill-out connoisseurs the world over. Unfortunately, two Frenchmen beat Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker to the title of 'masters of comedown cool,' leaving the London duo to be forever called 'the British Air.' And this is fair; the similarities between Zero 7's lush cinematic soundscapes and those of Air's Moon Safari and the Virgin Suicides scoreare so strong as to sound almost intentional. Nonetheless, their debut is a truly gorgeous album. It has all the tried and tested atmospheric tricks--bleeps and whooshes layered over plodding Fender Rhodes chords, swathes of strings and tender trumpet parps--but it's Binns and 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 the ambient strains are, when laid beneath the seductive vocals of Australian diva Sia on the ethereal 'Destiny' or the heart-breaking 'Distractions,' their potency becomes apparent.--Dan Gennoe

I love this CD. This was the first Zero 7 CD that I ever had and it is still my favorite although When It Falls has it's moments. I first heard these guys on a compilation CD that I picked up at the library and I immediately knew that I would be buying their stuff. In the world of chill they are standouts for sure. They put the ahhh...in acid. Great vocals and mood creating progressions. I always get this one out when it is time to relax around the pool and really get into some serious lay-back and ...

Rating: - I have never recieved this item from Amazon, and REALLY WANT IT
I have never received this item, have tracked it and the post office tracking merely says 'in transit' - but it has been weeks.I have been unable to find any customer service appropriate to this question within Amazon or the Post Office.I am an unhappy customer who is not likely to order from Amazon again.I am familiar with this music and know that I want it, and disappointed Amazon did not deliver what I paid for!
