Free Music Review: December music - It suits us
Hit: 5 Stars
After listening to this cd for close to a decade I have to ask, does anyone else feel like the whole album builds up to one point? Likufanele sounds like angelic voices rejoicing over the smoothest beat I could ever possibly imagine. At full blast it really is a sacred sound that could easily and immediately humble the best of gospel singers. A modern day hallelujah as it were, perhaps the best we can do. Other tracks are great as well, Polaris, This World, etc. the list goes on as the CD is great from beginning to end; uplifting, relaxing, and classic. Sounds like that cafe table hosting a warm mocha under a white contemplative december sky. One of electronica's greatest moments yet. When It Falls is another good album from this group, and I would definitely recommend it over the Garden.
Simple Things Poster
2001 debut full length for dance act described as, 'the British Air', the follow-up to two limited, critically acclaimed EPs. Highlights include the awesome African influenced instrumental passage 'Likufanele', the velvety 'I Have Seen' feat. Mozez & the quiet storm of 'Destiny' feat. Sia. Quango.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 score are 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
