  Zero 7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zero 7 is a downtempo styled musical duo comprising Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker from the United Kingdom.
Zero 7 is sometimes viewed as the British counterparts of the French downtempo group Air.
Zero 7 have also been popularly featured in various film and TV soundtracks, as well as lounge music compilations such as The Chillout Project by Philippine DJ Anton Ramos, and the Hôtel Costes compilation CDs.

Zero 7's very first release was a remix of Radiohead's "Climbing Up the Walls" -- a break afforded the twosome by their college friend Nigel Godrich, Radiohead's producer.
The simple answer is that Zero 7 revives a few old sounds, albeit in a different manner from its regurgitant electronica peers.
Another theory about the group's success is that Zero 7 is the leader of a chill-out renaissance, which is supposedly luring British youth away from clubs and into relaxation.

 Guardian Unlimited Arts | | Zero 7, When It Falls
Three years on, the opening moments of Zero 7's second album suggest that critics of Binns and Hardaker's light-fingered approach to chill-out music might be forced to shift their opinion.
It is sinister and intriguing, a thrilling instant where it seems Zero 7 have realised that using someone else's ideas isn't really cricket and moved on.
In the case of Zero 7, that rather appears to be the problem.

The Zero 7 boys have compiled The Garden on a Somerset farm and, on first listen, you'll think that the local scrumpy was rather stronger than they thought (being a Zummerzet man, I know the feeling).
Having been hooked-into Zero 7 for the last few years initial reviews of the 3rd album, claiming "a return to form" were promising, albeit somewhat confusing (having found both previous albums to be fantastic).

 sfweekly.com | News | Zero 7
With spring decidedly in the air even here in San Francisco, one hopes that the sultry/sun-kissed/ slow-jammy sounds of England's Zero 7 will inspire similar face-sucking -- if only to counterbalance the tedious politeness of the former trip-hop combo's updated snoozy nu-soul.
Like Air, Zero 7 is fond of gauzy keyboards and '70s soft-rock touches, but Zero 7 has neither Air's quirky sense of sound design nor the French duo's knack for genuinely catchy songs.
The literally titled "Warm Sound," the lead cut from Zero 7's new album, When It Falls, sums up what's wrong with the band's treacly approach: cloying keyboards, bazillion-part harmonies, and a sound so stiflingly "atmospheric" that you're looking to crack a window before the chorus even hits.

 Zero 7 - The Garden : album review
One-time sound engineers Sam Hardaker and Henry Binns are back with their first full length release since the outstanding When It Falls in 2004 and there are not too many surprises as the same cool brand of soulful electronica is laid out on the table.
Australian singer, and Zero 7 mainstay, Sia Furler is back for the third time although this time around there is no Sophie Barker or, particularly unfortunately, no Tina Dico, the Dane now enjoying success with her debut solo effort.
A feature of past Zero 7 albums has been the instrumental tracks, however these have been more and more infrequent over the years and the fact that there is only one on The Garden may mean the next album will consist solely of vocal songs.

 ZERO 7 When It Falls
Their warm, inviting, sound was rapidly snapped up by everyone from trendy London bars to upmarket advertising agencies and TV channels and their soft melodies and delicate orchestrations, mixing electronic, acoustic and sumptuous vocals became ubiquitous to the point where Zero 7 were found right at the top of the charts.
Toward the end of the nineties, they formed Zero 7, originally producing a series of remixes for Radiohead and Terry Cailler before releasing their first EP, simply entitled EP 1 in the early days of 2000.
Despite being labelled as the British Air, Zero 7 quickly established the blend of sweeping melodies, breezy strings, chilled acoustic guitars and delicate jazzy/funky bass lines as their sound, with a handful of vocalists giving the necessary pop substance to some of their compositions.

Zero 7's ability to conjure beautiful lullabies with all the romance of 1960s French pop, as found on their debut long-player Simple Things, would have made them the toast of soundtrack composers and chillout connoisseurs the world over.
And justifiably so to some degree; the similarities between Zero 7's lush cinematic soundscapes and those of Air's Moon Safari and The Virgin Suicides Soundtrack are so strong as to sound almost intentional.
With such moving tracks as these, Zero 7 dispel the notion that Simple Things is just another collection of nice background music and that they're just riding on Air's coattails.

Zero 7 takes you from porno music to polished, sultry and sinful to sweet and smooth within tracks and within the album.
Within the non-vocal tracks the guys that make up our beloved band in question experiment with 1970's synthesized porno beats and keyboard sounds, mixed with smooth bass, acoustic guitars, and elegant strings, and of course that "air" sound that has led them to be labelled as "british air".

 In Music We Trust - SHOW REVIEW: Zero 7: May 5, 2002 -- B Complex
This touring version of Zero 7, which was playing the final show of a three-week U.S. tour, consisted of six instrumentalists, two backup singers and three continually shifting lead vocalists.
Air and Zero 7 share a similar sense of groove and pacing, not to mention a defining love of the Fender Rhodes keyboard, but the differences between the two groups are, in some ways, quite distinct.
In some ways, such an emphasis on the music is something to be admired, but in Zero 7's case, the listener can have difficulty knowing upon what or whom to latch.

 Zero 7
Touring on the heels of "When It Falls" (Elektra), their well-received second album, Zero 7 proved that their mellow music, so effective on headphones in a darkened room, can actually make the transition to the concert stage.
Utilizing a six-piece band and the four vocalists who perform on the album, the group delivered a lush soundscape that well pleased the relaxed crowd, a large majority of which seemed to be cuddling couples.
One reason for this is that Zero 7 actually deliver melodic, individualized songs, rather than the bland melange offered by so many of their contemporaries.
