Listening Post



Want to make yourself crazy? Try explaining to someone who's never heard Zero 7 just who and what they sound like. Not quite jazz, not quite neo-soul, not quite trip-hop -- they defy easy categorization. There's one description, though, that fits perfectly: the music they create is breathtakingly beautiful.

Here's Somersault.

One of my favorite songs since a friend pointed toward Zero 7 a couple years ago :-)

I've got to give a huge thanks, Chez. I'd never heard of Zero 7 until you mentioned Destiny in Dead Star Twilight. I listened to a few of their songs and, well, the rest is history.

And you are so right about trying to describe it. I've tried so many times and usually just wind up saying "Just listen to them; you'll understand."

I love their albums! For those who are Zero 7 fans, check out Bombay Dub Orchestra, similar style, though they incorporate Indian beats.
