Zero 7: When It Falls

After the cry-fest of Six Feet Under, I purchased the second soundtrack album which contained a the Sia track, Breathe Me. After all of that, I figured, what could be better than even MORE Sia? Enter Zero 7. Zero 7 is really the combination of Henry Binns and Sam Hardarker, with a series of regular vocalists, including the lovely and talented Ms. Sia Furler.

The album, however amazing the participants are, is less impressive; It's not horrible, either. It's 11 tracks, just shy of an hour, plays in the back of your head, but never fully realizes itself.

None the of the tracks stood out as particularly good or bad, but the album did flow well. Or, at least, seemed to, when I noticed track breaks. The ambient nature, as well as the way the Binns and Hardarker play the sonics around the vocals, makes this album feel ethereal.

In the End: This is a great album to read to, work to, really, just about any task that requires thought. Like I said, the music will play in your head, but it will never distract you from the task ahead.
