  • Nice sound!

  • Fantastic!

    

  • zero 7 is the only band that has music i really like

  • reminds me on radiohead <3 love it!

  • I'm putting it out there to all those ZERO 7 fans what's your favourite tune by them! May prove to be more difficult than you think, narrowing it down to just one. If so and you'd like to engage which is your favourite song and why?

  • @funfaret1me Warm Sound, for me. =)

  • @funfaret1me "The Space Between" if I had to pick one.

  • I like this song, but it;'s so not like their usual stuff.

  • I'm a huge Zero 7 fan and as much as I hate to say this, this is by far their weakest album. I think I played it about twice and found one decent song.

  • This track I don't care for at all..

  • This is awesome. I just dont like their new vocalist.

  • I quite like this different direction, they are producers after all and can therefore make well crafted music, easily, whether it works as well as their debut is another matter, this seems edgier, which is good. The guitar riff does remind me of the XX. I'm glad their still around, although I did notice a 'best of' came out straight after, maybe to cushion the blow of low sales?

  • great time signature.... this band is cooler than most bands

  • Brilliant, you people suck..  this is original music, if you want stale shit go back to the pop charts, these guys are real artists.

  • i just heard about this band.... they're pretty much legit. ive listened to their older stuff too and still like this more =D

  • I disagree. Saw them live, and it was magnificent! Every true musician must be willing to experiment and evolve. They will only get better with time. Open your mind and give it a chance to grow on, and with you.

  • Only thing I can say about this album is I don't like it(compare to their previous albums). I think Zero7 is a perfect band when they're putting artsy style in pop music, but this album is just to much for them and for us. There are many experimental bands who can do better jobs on this kind of music. So I would bet Zero7 gonna come back with much much more simple sound, can be the simpliest album ever.

  • @0thaistick0

    Really? Can you make some recommendations? I like Zero 7 a lot, and this album is really growing on me.

  • @miraclecure73 I can make a few similarish artists you could look into- Air, Dimitri in Paris, Royksopp, Jimi Tenor, Gus Gus, Thievery Corporation, maybe also St Germain, Kruder & Dorfmeisterand  and The Cinematic Orchestra. All good, I hope you find something.

  • The whole album is great.

  • Not feeling the new Zero 7...not one bit. There's nothing wrong with going in a new direction and experimenting....but this is just not my taste, it sounds like a totally different band. If I were introduced to this song I would've never imagined that they made classics such as "Morning Song", "Likufanele", "Destiny", etc...

  • @munter86 hi mate forgive my ignorance but has sia left? i hope not but do love this band still but im gonna be a tight arse and wait 4 the album 2 come out cheaper, later in the year. money's tight.

  • This is the only good song of the entire album. The rest of the album was very disappointing. I am going to forget they came up with it, because the 5 albums before this were before their time.

  • Ghost Symbol is absolutely unreal. One of my favourite pieces of music. Don't be so quick to judge.

  • zero 7 are genious.... if you know anything about music production you will understand. 5 Stars isn't enough :)

  • Yes but, the garden is a very nice album 2!

  • it grows after around 2.28

    You really want to love it dont you?

  • when it got 3 minutes in... i realised i REALLY LIKE THE NEW STUFF!!! and you can still fel the zero 7 in this man! you know you can feel it!!

  • The first time I listened Zero 7's new album I was like: "Holly Crap....This is Different!"

    But, now it's quite an addiction...it's growing on me! Zero 7 will always be Zero 7 and their music is their identity everywhere they go!

  • I totaly agree with this!!

  • This song is pretty good and will probably grow on me. I'm not really digging their new direction they're taking though...

  • this song should be on need for speed and/or fifa

  • its all about Zinidine Zidan which makes total sense!!! the little riddly rifts :D

  • idont get it?.

  • Not having heard the rest of the album, I can't fully comment. However, this sounds a lot more Simple things than the garden.

  • The only reason I got into them Is because of this, Its very cutting edge and not anything like there old stuff I have heard which I think is a good thing!

  • I really like that they are going in a new direction.

    I really like their previous stuff, but really, do we need more of the same?

  • @Jeremiah137

    There is nothing wrong with more of the same. Their original sound from When it Falls and Simple Things is what made them so special.

  • @Macca1969 agreed beautiful dreamy stuff.

  • gosh, Binns's voice is sexy!

  • different gravy

  • for some absurd reason, i really like the part where he sings "colouring, colouring everything"

  • The new album sucks! I love Zero 7 since 2005 when I first heard Simple Things and When It Falls. The two albuns are masterpieces! Now, it seems they lost their way. What happened anyway? I'm too frustraded about it...

  • i really like some of the musics, but i must admit that you're right, and what have they done with SIA??

  • ooh.... Musicians evolving and putting out new and interesting stuff instead of repeating the old routine? We can't have that can we?

  • give it a chance... listen to it, listen to it some more, and then repeat... its just as good, and much more simple things than when it falls...

  • I think they should of stuck to their soul roots. Completely different from their older albums and singles. I like it though! :)

  • very beta band. have to say though earlier albums were more soulful..

    still dig on them though. new direction = sound !

    wish i could say the same for pearl jams new album though..diabolical springs to mind..back - wards not back-spacer........

  • shame that people seem to look upon bands like Pearl jam and hope that they can replicate their old music. I always see talent from a band meaning being able to completely change direction. Personally I love the new PJ album. But then thats what makes us all diverse I guess!

  • Lovin the comments! Saw them in Manchester - average to be fair. But.....still remain my fave band. This is a grower - but agreed maybe trying too hard. The Garden I feel remains the best album. Each to their own. Sia is GREATLY missed - she was the key to the success.

  • I saw them yesterday at Brighton, the new singer Eska plays in a different league of Sia,....there was no male singer, I liked the second singer Olivia, great job... but overall a bit disappointing from one of my favorites band

  • i hope they stick to there older stuff tomorow....even though they probably wont...

  • I like it alot. I'm pretty sure since this is just a single that Sia will be present on the album. They basicaly jump started her career, so she owes them. BIG TIME!!

    THis is a bit more upbeat, but you can't stay gold forever......

  • A Zero 7 album without Sia it's like a Beatles album without George Harrison.... still good, but not great

  • It's just amazing how almost none of their music has a theme to it but how you just know it's them when they get played

  • awesome!!!:-)

  • excellent

  • I love the part between 3:33 & 3:46 when he sings "The party is in full swing, turn up everything" Fantastic.

  • This is such a great new album for Zero 7

  • The reason I've always loved them is because they have this talent to shape their music into anything they fucking want.

    I don't get this whole "I like" or "Don't like" this new direction crap. What new direction? They've been doing this ever since they came out.

  • Not at all (imho). Albums 1 and 2 were much more chilled, smooth and soulful.

    The garden and yeah ghost seem much more funk and groove orientated.

    What I need from Zero 7 is tunes to ground myself when I'm on a comedown. Their first album was a bible for that.

  • Your correct what you say about Zero 7's first two albums. I also prefer their chilled tunes however on listening to their new album Yeah Ghost there are tunes like that on it: Pop Art Blue, The Road & Swing all on Youtube now and the mixture of tunes on the new album work very well.

  • The lack of Mozez saddens me. Why couldn't they have kept that lush orchestral sound from Simple Things? That's the main reason I liked the album. End Theme, This World and I Have Seen were great!! Even 'Look Up' from 'When It Falls' was brilliant. This album just doesn't have that same feeling. It's like it went in the direction of pop. Remember, they're a *downtempo* band. This ain't downtempo. :(

  • Simple Things was great, as was When It Falls. I think they mirrored Simple Things on the second album because the formula worked. But if they just keep doing the same thing, they're not really progressing as artists. Love the original sound for what it was, and decide whether you like the new material for yourself or not, but don't hate on them for trying new things. I don't think they have labeled themselves a downtempo band, other people did. I love that they're growing. Ghost Symbol is sick!

  • Your point is well taken. But I certainly wasn't implying that they should repeat that formula over and over again, nor was I "hating" them for trying something new. Such was the case with another one of my favorite musicians: DJ Shadow. His album "Endtroducing" was an absolute classic. His other albums, however, weren't nearly as good in my opinion. He even said himself "doing Endtroducing over and over. .that was never the plan."

  • @Cheduff true their fist album sounds nothing like their second or third.

  • @Cheduff I agree without the "fucking"

  • @Cheduff It sounds less and less like chill out music, but I think the experimentation is a good thing.

  • @Cheduff Here here! I agree, and that's what endears them to me. You know you are going to get something different for every album and it's STILL familiar and STILL consistently good.

  • @Cheduff

    I think they have become more electronic and edgy since their first two albums. But I have their first two albums and there is no point in replicating them. Sure, I think Simple Things is an absolute classic, but maybe thats just because it was like a new discovery. Progression is all part of the journey though and Im in. I see what your saying though, its perhaps not so much a new direction as just exploring the current one further.

  • There are 30 second snippets in high quality audio on the bbc music review website and I can tell you the tracks sound fantastic on the new album Yeah Ghost. I can't wait only 2 weeks to go now.

  • Someone who knows how to do it please post the tracks SWING, SOLASTALGIA and MR MCGEE from their my space website and new album tracks as they become available please.

  • new album tracks also on ilike . com

  • New album tracks are on their myspace site. "Swing" is best track so far. Closer to what Zero 7 are best at.

  • Comment removed

  • The album has some classic Zero 7 soundscape songs on it so we won't be disappointed anyway I quite like the upbeat stuff even though Medicine man is more like a Basement Jaxx song 'till its last bit when they put the Zero 7 Twist into it.

  • i'm liking the new direction. but then i generally like everything they do! :) it seems like a fairly natural progression from the garden. that had a mroe electro freaky vibe...

  • far from eurogay from all you haters...this song is pretty tight. classic zero 7 vibes. learn to embrace change everybody. fact, zero 7 cannot produce shit.

  • Sounds a bit Airified Eurogay.

  • definitely better than Medicine Man, this is proper Zero 7 groovy stuff, that little plucky riff is special.

  • I agree with your comment that the Zero 7 track everything up is far better than medicine man. On hearing 30 second clips of the new album on ITunes the album sounds great with some classic Zero 7 on it. I was a bit worried when I heard Medicine man that they would all be like it.

  • You can hear 30 second clips of the new album from Zero 7 at ITunes and it sounds great. Some cool classic Zero 7 songs:Swing, Pop Art Blue and The Road and some very good Experimental Tracks that Zero 7 are so good at. I can't wait for the album. It won't disappoint.

  • It says that Henry Binns is vocalizing on this track in the description on the top right. I love this track but I want to hear a new Soundscape style track, I hope their will be at least one on the new album.

  • Who is vocalising on this track ?

  • I heard that it is the two guys from Zero 7 themselves who are vocalising on the track Everything Up.

  • I really, really, really miss old school Zero 7... ans all of my hardcore bros and sis know what Im talking about!!!

  • There are some Old School songs on the new Zero 7 album Yeah Ghost out around 2nd week of September 2009. You can check out 30 second clips of tracks on ITunes. I like what I hear and prefer classic Zero 7 tracks also.

  • This is a great track, I prefer it to Medicine Man.

  • Medicine Man the new single is now on you tube. At first I didn't like it but it is a grower. I'm sure their new album will be as truly fantastic as their other 3. I don't think I could get through life without listening to their music. They are the best band ever, especially their soundscape style tracks like Sommersault which is my favourite but I love all their stuff.

  • Zero 7 are like an old friend that never lets you down

  • This is great but I hope there will be some of their great sweeping soundscape style songs and music which they are so great at on their new album.

  • This is good and the remix but the new single "medicine man"is very disapointing, I don't like the feel of the song or the singers voice. I only hope it will be a grower.

  • Finally! I have been waiting Zero 7.

  • Yeah, No Sia is a big minus for me. Her hunting voice has been a staple in my life for nearly a decade. big shame. I wish they'd bring back Mozez.... Oh well, I like this track. Any news on a North American Tour.  I went to their concert in NYC back in 2006 and it was the best concert I've been to.

  • I so want to hear some new music from Zero 7 soon.

  • is this really Henry singing? he sounds different! I love it though, and think I'll see them in Bristol :D

  • This sounds really good. Can't wait for the new album.

  • hmm sounds brokenbeat-ish at the end, i like.

  • Finally!!!!

  • Finally, more Zero 7!

  • I have to listen to this together with more Zero 7 music everyday. They are so great.

  • I stopped listening to Zero 7 for almost a year, then I put on "This World," I immediately felt anger at myself for being a tard. Zero 7 def needs daily listening.

  • @komey9 agreed :)

  • @komey9 you fucker. XD

    I never thought I'd be into this kind of music myself.

  • @MsJamesFord You jelly? LOL

  • Blown away by their new material. Very excited I'm sure they haven't wasted these three years and the new album will be worth the wait.

  • I will be going to see them live again in October. Great band and fantastic music.

  • Everything is up is on their myspace site but medicine man is the first single out in August 09, The album Yeah Ghost is out in September 09.

  • Buying this at release! Been waiting for new Zero 7 For years now!

  • I will be buying this album.

  • It's pretty good, looking forward to the entire album!

  • nice...
