Zero 7 - Simple Things (2001)
I’ve been looking out for a vinyl version of this treasure for a while now. I happened to find it in Hamilton and this is probably the antithesis of that dump.

commentsThe most consistent Aussie band of all time, these dudes just haven’t put a foot wrong during their 40 year career.
commentsWhenever I hear Autobahn, I place myself back in the family home in Hastings in 1974. That was a huge moment for me - the day Casey Kasem played the edited, radio friendly version of “Autobahn” on the American Top 40.
commentsI don’t give a tinker’s cuss what these dudes are on about but the sonics, bottom end, verbal riffage and discomfort on this record is second to none.
commentsWhile the Germans are responsible for the abomination that is the DIN connector they are also responsible for some of the most influential and amazing music on the planet.
commentsThis is in my top 10 records. This is not one of those records that was a right of passage or a sign post or fork in the road on my musical journey.
commentsI heard “New Music with Grant Smithies” for 11th Oct 2019 via podcast this morning. One group particularly stood out for me.
commentsI lugged my big Bowie box #3 down stairs into the lounge this afternoon and played what is probably Bowie’s last great album recorded at the arse end of the 80’s.
commentsSRV’s first and best record. Boosted by a guest slot on Bowie’s “Lets Dance” and a free recording ticket courtesy of Jackson Browne, this debut just oozes raw talent and authentic blues.
commentsA glorious racket! They say there were several bands, including Pavement, that ripped off the Fall sound. That’s complete bollocks! Absolutely no one, now and then, sounds like The Fall.
