Eccentric Sounds

Zero 7 is a British duo compromised of Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker. They are a couple of really talented producers who started out engineering music for the Pet Shop Boys, Young Disciples and Robert Plant in the 1990s

To date they have made 6 cds (if anyone knows of more, please let me know)..EP1 (out of print I believe), EP2 (out of print as well I believe), Simple Things, Another Late Night, When It Falls and The Garden. However these 2 jawns I’m posting are from the cd called The Garden first up is “Seeing Things”. I’m really feeling the syncopation of it all! It has these little boy drummer snares that pair up with this acoustic guitar near the songs end that’s lovely as well.  

“Seeing Things” 

Secondly, is a monster track called “Today” let me start off by saying WHOA!!! It comes in with this Samba feel and José González (a Swedish vocalist) laying down the smooth vocals. It also has some remnants of the Pharcyde inside. Pure inspiration !!!! This is wild for me to say this because at the time of this posting I am not producing yet, but if I was, I would have to spark one!!!!!!!!

P.S. The harmonization is insane!!! 

“Today” 

Your opinions on both please
