Attention music freaks: you must listen to the group known as Zero 7

[WindRavenX]

That is all.
(they're my latest discovery, and they are AMAZING- sort of a jazz/ambiance hybrid; really awesome shit yo)

1. Gimmie some more details

I'm always looking for new stuff to put on my show; do they have a webby?

[WindRavenX]

3. Here you go:

http://www.zero7.co.uk/

I just realized that like, most of my music is from the UK or non-American (minus Springsteen, Moby, Death Cab For Cutie, and a handful of others).
Does America just not foster the musical creativity needed for exceptional music? I think yes.

[enigmatic]

5. Yes and no

There's a huge amount of great stuff in the US and up here in Canada; I think the thing is to skip commercial music altogethet and look at the bands that go the DIY more than anything else.

I love Death Cab For Cutie; play them all the time n my station.

Thanks for the link!

2. I know Zero 7

I've been a BIG Zero7 head for the last couple of years.

I've got 4 Zero7 CDs

If you like them, try Colour The Small One by Sia and Restless Times by Clara Hill!

4. Good stuff

I had listened to them before seeing Garden State but when I heard them on the Garden State soundtrack I fell in love.

6. What's good?

I only know the song on the Garden State soundrack--In the Waiting, which I liked a lot.

7. everything

Literally. I don't think they have a bad track :hi:
Favs: "Morning Song" "Likufanel" (which is like, an African hymm song, fucking sweet) "Speed Dial No.2" "Spinning" "Destiny"

[sir_captain]

9. Alright, I'll check it out

and "buy" some cd's

8. Instrumentation?

What instruments do they play?

[WindRavenX]

10. basic jazz instruments

Drums, cymbils...

[Blue-Jay]

11. Ah!

Because drums and cymbals aren't found in any other genre of music...

[WindRavenX]

12. no, but the poster who asked the question originally...

...has implied in previous discussions of music that rap or hip hop isn't really music because no instruments are involved; I mentioned common instruments to lay it down that jazz IS music.
