{"product_id":"simple-things","title":"Simple Things","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSimple Things\u003c\/em\u003e is a timelessly classic album and the essential soundtrack to any laidback summer chilling. \u003cstrong\u003eZero 7\u003c\/strong\u003e's ability to conjure beautiful lullabies with all the romance of 1960s French pop, as found on their debut long-player \u003cem\u003eSimple Things\u003c\/em\u003e, made them the toast of soundtrack composers and chillout connoisseurs the world over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTheir debut is a truly gorgeous album. All the tried and tested atmospheric tricks are in play - bleeps and whooshes layered over plodding Fender Rhodes chords, swathes of strings and tender trumpet parps - but it's Binns and Hardaker's languid grooves and the soft melancholy of their melodies that make dream-state instrumentals \"\u003cem\u003eGive It Away\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003ePolaris\u003c\/em\u003e\" utterly enchanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe real power of \u003cem\u003eSimple Things\u003c\/em\u003e, however, is in its songs. As beautiful as their ambient strains are, it's when laid beneath the seductive vocals of Australian diva Sia on the ethereal \"\u003cem\u003eDestiny\u003c\/em\u003e\" or the heart breaking \"\u003cem\u003eDistractions\u003c\/em\u003e\" that their potency becomes apparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2LP - Double vinyl re-issue mirrors the original release, cut over 4 sides and using the original artwork but pressed on heavyweight 180 gram double vinyl. Cutting is by engineer Kevin Metcalfe using his original cutting notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2CD - Double CD Version with 11 extra Tracks. Some of the second tracks have never been made available before - including 3 live sessions from the band's 2002 USA tour from San Francisco radio station KFOG (\"\u003cem\u003eSimple Things\u003c\/em\u003e\", \"\u003cem\u003eDestiny\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003eWaiting Line\u003c\/em\u003e\"), 2 tracks that were only on the Japanese version of the album (\"\u003cem\u003eSpinning\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003eMonday Night\u003c\/em\u003e\").
