There was a point where chillout band Zero 7 were so popular in the UK that Electroqueer had to denounce them for awhile. And when we say denounce, we mean ‘they were so popular that people who never buy CDs in their life actually own a Zero 7 album’. So we really had to put them on the backshelf for awhile. But as things truly come full circle in life, we have been listening to them again because they are in a single word – utterly amazing (we know – two words). We will definitley be buying their new album ‘The Garden’. If you are just discovering the ambient attraction to Zero 7 now, sample their goods on their website, www.zero7.co.uk.
So here are some Zero 7 DDs for you and if you are interested in seeing them live – they have just announced their May/June UK tour dates:
