slumjacket Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Love the first two albums, but haven't listened to them for ages. Don't know if I'll be much use when out comes to the advice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I really like them. The first 2 albums were great Still play them from time to time - great chillout tracks on both those albums Not sure I've got much by way of advice ... except - play the albums once in a while....

fumps Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 A massive fan here. I hget a huge kick from playing "Have seen" from simple things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brensabre79 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Used to listen a lot, are they still going? you should check out fragile state if you like them. Z7s keyboard player was 1/2 of fragile state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxm Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Good stuff - plus they had Eddie Stevens (Moloko) on keys - awesome ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] There last album "Yeh Ghost" (2009) was a little darker & more experimental and I dont think this sold as well as their other three. Shame really as I love their work with Sia as vocalist. I love that ladies voice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I used to listen to them a lot on Mixcloud. Gonna have to see what's on Deezer of theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qlank Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Love the first album. I got a bootleg show a couple years ago and they played newer stuff tidy but when it came to older tunes they seemed to be taking the piss, messing with the arrangements and playing lots of off key notes and phrases. Maybe they were just entertaining themselves for giggles but I would have been really disappointed if I was at that gig. Can't believe I never saw them live early on though.

Acebassmusic Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 [quote name='Qlank' timestamp='1410438924' post='2549429'] ..... and playing lots of off key notes and phrases...... [/quote] So whats new about that? I've been using that style for the last 30 years.....lol I like them. Chilled & laid back with many a good bass line to work out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't overly like The Garden I'll be honest- the Jose Gonzales remix was the best song on it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullfan Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Yeah really big fan, love them, Simple things, When it falls, The Garden, always on my mp3. Would love to see them live.

garyod7 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) First two albums were fantastic, less so with The Garden I thought and onwards. Their early material and Air's better stuff is brilliant, love the chill out sound, very cool basslines too! Saw them in Glasgow after When it falls came out I think, superb Edited September 13, 2014 by garyod7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] My own thoughts exactly In fact, I liked the other 2 albums so much - I listened to the Garden quite a bit because I wanted to like it..... (if that makes sense! lol) But never grew to like it really.... Also got an album of remixes, called "AnotherLateNight" - but not so much into that either.... So I didn't venture to getting "Yeah Ghost" Still love "When It Falls" and "Simple Things" though Following this thread, I listened to Simple Things again recently What a great album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drTStingray Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yeh big fan of them and especially the first two albums. Absolutely the classic chill out music. Interesting that on the second album there is a different bass player on a handful of tracks - they sound quite different to me, lacking that light and airy bass part feel of the other guy - but perhaps with more of a groove. The first two for me are classic albums of that era and genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameltoe Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 When it falls will always be my favourite. I think Simple Things probably has the better singles, but When It Falls is a joy from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
