内容紹介

Zero 7, aka Sam Hardaker and Henry Binns, are back with a gorgeous new album, The Garden. It was produced by Sam and Henry and mixed by Phil Brown, who has worked with such luminaries as the Rolling Stones, Brian Eno and Talk Talk. It features vocal performances by Jose Gonzalez, Sia Furler and Henry Binns. The bands previous albums, Simple Things and When It Falls, were critically acclaimed and rooted them firmly alongside Royksopp & Lemon Jelly as leaders in their field. The Garden sees Zero 7 take a fresher, more upbeat musical direction while still maintaining their trademark sound, and could well turn out to be the soundtrack to the summer.

Amazonレビュー

"Upbeat" seems like an odd description of a recording that includes song titles like "Throw It All Away" and "Waiting to Die." Yet fans of Zero 7 (the English sound-design duo of Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker) will indeed discover that the group's third release exhibits a slightly more animated pace--more multitempo than downtempo--than its predecessors, the seductively trippy Simple Things and the like-minded When It Falls. Craving a follow-up to the breathy, interstellar soul of "Destiny" from the group's debut disc, or "Passing By" from When It Falls? You may struggle to find similar magic here. Even so, The Garden is an intriguing listen, showcasing the sophistication that makes Zero 7 the Steely Dan of chillout--wry, intelligent lyrical observations, inventive musicianship, a detached sense of cool forged by the duo's heady blend of folk, jazz, '70s soul, and electronica. The Kraftwerk-like "Seeing Things"--the disc's lone instrumental--and the pulsing "You're My Flame" are useful tracks to gauge this album's elevated vibrancy. Sia Furler is the group's only returning vocalist, and the absence of Sophie Barker and Tina Dico, the gentle Christine McVie counterpoints to Furler's rough-hewn Stevie Nicks, is noticeable. Mozez and his Seal-like soul is also gone, replaced by more folk/pop-oriented José Gonzãlez. Binns even spends 80 seconds as the quiet lead voice on the slow-building brass outburst "Your Place." Furler's up-and-down vocals on "The Pageant of the Bizarre" will stick in your mind, but her best work comes on two clever lampoons of pampered lifestyles, "This Fine Social Scene" and "Waiting to Die." (Sample lyric: "Now is a good time for tasty glass of wine; let's not worry ourselves about carbon dioxide.") Different, yes, but worthwhile. --Terry Wood

変化の過程。

2006年6月25日に日本でレビュー済み

前二枚と比べて、ソウル・チルアウト度が減っています。

よりクラシックロック×近年のUKバンド的ダンスアクトっぽさがありつつも、Throw It All Awayの冷ややかかつ軽快なビートに乗ったビートニクっぽい内容の歌詞にはまってしまいます。

レディオヘッドでいうところのOKコンピューター以降三枚のように、変化の途上にあるアルバムなのかなと思いました。

前のアルバムと違う路線に拒否反応を示す人も多そうですが、一枚目と二枚目にもポジ/ネガの反転があったわけだし。

結論として、私は好きです。

After reading some of the other reviews I was amazed to see so many Zero 7 fans dissapointed by The Garden. What an amazing transformation this album was from the previous two recordings. Honestly, the first time I listened to the CD I didn't like it at all. I decided to listen again and it starting catching my attention quickly. By the 3rd or 4rd play I was definetely hooked and now I absolutely love it...it's one of my top 10 all time favorites. Maybe some of you should give it another chance.

The album definitely differs from previous albums but it still very much the Zero 7 sound that I know and love. It sounds to me like Zero 7 has taken their usual style and added soooo much more in terms of "fillings". Imagine looking at a childs coloring book...it's filled with enjoyable pictures, inviting environments, clean lines, and images that provoke some imagination. Although very enjoyable, when you stand back and look at the entire book there's still room for improvement. Now picture the same book as it's filled with brilliant colors...bringing forward and explosion of life and excitement to an already enjoyable experience.

This is how I feel about Zero 7. I've always liked them enough to buy the CD's but I never thought of them as one of my favorites until now. Their additional explosion of creativity in The Garden filled a void that I never knew was there. They've painted a picture in the form of music that I can't get out of my head and I am truely in love with the music.

They did it again!

After 2 gorgeous albums, you have to start thinking "Can they pull it off again?".

Well they have!

Zero 7 has produced a brilliant album. Like "Simple Things" and "When it Falls", their latest album "The Garden" is amazing. Not a single "so-so" track. Not a single filler. I can put it on loop without shuffle and enjoy it as much on the 200th play as I did on the first. Three years later, I can listen to Simple Things all day without tiring and The Garden is just as addictive. Now I know I have one more Zero 7 masterpiece that just won't age.

I have bought a handfull of CDs in the last 5 years because I boycott the entertainment/RIAA culture-crushers. But I pre-ordered The Garden, violating my own principles. I can't wait to see them performing this album live!

This is a great album compared to most music, for Zero 7, it is just good, lol. It has a very retro sound , you could easily imagine it to be a 70's band. Very laid back, not as "trippy" as their first two albums - and not as "hip" as "Speed Dial No.2" off of When it Falls , but great chill out music.

Still Zero 7, Still Amazing

2007年11月2日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

After two fantastic, well received albums of trance-inducing British rock/soul; Zero 7 alter their style slightly and experiment with mood and texture on this third outing, with excellent results. For fans of the two previous releases, you should expect much more variation and diversity on "The Garden", breaking up the tone a bit more....the album feels more up-tempo and aggressive and less melacholy and sedate than either "Simple Things" or the now classic "When It Falls".

Whether the shift in style is an improvement or not is debatable; I found it a bit difficult to get used to, but quickly grew to enjoy the album immenseley. The main difference is a bit more energetic, upbeat approach to songwriting, which is not necessarily a bad thing. It's good to see this band growing and experimenting while stretching their creativity a bit more than they used to, and they do still have that undefinable, moody feel that makes Zero 7 unique, with retro guitar vibes and washes of Mellotron and synth...it's just a bit different and more varied in content and direction than the band's previous output. Recommended!

New Age vocals

2011年9月18日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

In my opinion this album is one of their best. Great vocals and lyrics makes me want to dance or maybe try to sing. Its hard to discribe the type of music but for a smooth jazz addict I really like their sound. Not pop, or jazz not any kind of rock...so are u totally confused, just take listen and decide for ur self.
