专辑类型：Indie/Ambient Pop/Electronica 专辑介绍： 距离上张专辑《When It Fall》四年之后，Zero 7在3月13日发行新单曲《Futures》，并且即将在5月15日发行他们的第三张大碟《The Garden》。专辑由Zero 7创作和制作，由Phill Brown混音。不得了、了不得的是，专辑《The Garden》的vocal部分，请来了大热的新晋歌手Jose Gonzalez(Indie Pop, Sadcore)负责大部分歌曲。当然Zero 7的御用歌手Sia Furler也被受邀参加演唱，另外Zero 7的Henry Binns也有负责一支单曲的演唱。只是个人觉得非常可惜的是，在上张专辑中表现出色的Tina Dico未能在这张新碟中发声。 这张新专随着这位新歌手的加入，拥有不少新鲜的血液，但只要有他发声的歌曲就一定或多或少背离电音的本质；不过幸好还有Sia Furler撑场面。初听着实令我大为失望，不过听过几遍后，越发觉得入耳。是张很不错的有些Indie Pop化电音专辑。好听，推荐。(简介转自Hertz于本专辑MP3格式发布链接http://lib.VeryCD.com/2006/04/12/0000098476.html） "Upbeat" seems like an odd description of a recording that includes song titles like "Throw It All Away" and "Waiting to Die." Yet fans of Zero 7 (the English sound-design duo of Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker) will indeed discover that the group's third release exhibits a slightly more animated pace--more multitempo than downtempo--than its predecessors, the seductively trippy Simple Things and the like-minded When It Falls. Craving a follow-up to the breathy, interstellar soul of "Destiny" from the group's debut disc, or "Passing By" from When It Falls? You may struggle to find similar magic here. Even so, The Garden is an intriguing listen, showcasing the sophistication that makes Zero 7 the Steely Dan of chillout--wry, intelligent lyrical observations, inventive musicianship, a detached sense of cool forged by the duo's heady blend of folk, jazz, '70s soul, and electronica. The Kraftwerk-like "Seeing Things"--the disc's lone instrumental--and the pulsing "You're My Flame" are useful tracks to gauge this album's elevated vibrancy. Sia Furler is the group's only returning vocalist, and the absence of Sophie Barker and Tina Dico, the gentle Christine McVie counterpoints to Furler's rough-hewn Stevie Nicks, is noticeable. Mozez and his Seal-like soul is also gone, replaced by more folk/pop-oriented José Gonzãlez. Binns even spends 80 seconds as the quiet lead voice on the slow-building brass outburst "Your Place." Furler's up-and-down vocals on "The Pageant of the Bizarre" will stick in your mind, but her best work comes on two clever lampoons of pampered lifestyles, "This Fine Social Scene" and "Waiting to Die." (Sample lyric: "Now is a good time for tasty glass of wine; let's not worry ourselves about carbon dioxide.") Different, yes, but worthwhile. Zero 7, aka Sam Hardaker and Henry Binns, are back with a gorgeous new album, The Garden. It was produced by Sam and Henry and mixed by Phil Brown, who has worked with such luminaries as the Rolling Stones, Brian Eno and Talk Talk. It features vocal performances by Jose Gonzalez, Sia Furler and Henry Binns. The band’s previous albums, Simple Things and When It Falls, were critically acclaimed and rooted them firmly alongside Royksopp & Lemon Jelly as leaders in their field. The Garden sees Zero 7 take a fresher, more upbeat musical direction while still maintaining their trademark sound, and could well turn out to be the soundtrack to the summer. 专辑曲目: 1. Futures 2.
