It’s The Simple Things In Life That Make Us Happy

[J.A.F._Doorhof]

After the recent success of Zero 7's debut album Simple Things and the "Destiny" video, Quango and Palm have created a Destiny Limited Edition DVD-EP. This promotion marks the first time a DVD-EP has been available for free with purchase of an album.
The DVD-EP contains the "Destiny" video (a Top Five video on MTV2), a live performance of "Destiny" from the sold out El Rey show in Los Angeles, and re-mixes by Hefner and Photek. "Destiny" was directed by Tommy Pallotta (digital animator of the critically-acclaimed feature Waking Life) and can be seen on MTV, MTV2, VH-1 and Much Music.

Zero 7's 11-piece band just completed its first national tour including a performance at the Coachella Festival (Oasis, Bjork, The Strokes, Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, etc.). Zero 7 originators Sam Hardaker and Henry Binns are producers who have remixed Radiohead, Lenny Kravitz, Sneaker Pimps and others; they released the critically acclaimed debut album Simple Things in November 2001.

Zero 7 have been called "One of British music's most intriguing, well-rounded and accomplished new assets" by Attitude and "Part Pink Floyd, part Burt Bacharach and part art-school invention" by BPM. Drawing from a deep well of musical knowledge and taste, Zero 7 craft music that is cutting edge and classic all at the same time. Spin Magazine calls Simple Things, "The babymaker LP of the year. A creamy continuum of dreamadelic soul" and Mixmag declared it, "The biggest underground soon-to-be-overground album since Moby's Play."
