Release Date June 06, 2006
This is a wonderful unusual new music. Where most music is canned, packaged, and group surveyed this feels clean and alive. They are an amazing group of talented musicians, gifted singers with some amazingly alive songs.
Decidedly average follow-up to a warmly received debut, the easy-listening techno outfit decides to virtually mimic the original's success. I do not necessarily need bands to constantly evolve (although it can be nice) but WIF feels like a blatant retread of ST, minus any edge or soul. The vocal songs are worse (except the smartly sung last track) and some of the chord transitions prove songwriting skills to be severely limited, in that the structures parallel those from before to a tee. Only a few instrumental tracks get to even stretch a bit production-wise, breaking a sterile grip from bland electro-pop.
Zero 7 has laid out a good selection of songs here. No point in arguing that. CD's like this always get reviews that say "Oh my God, this isn't a real Zero 7 album, it's a let down". Following suit with some of the other AnotherLateNight albums or LateNightTales (Air and Fila Brazillia being two of my fav's) this is a great release. These are also two series of compiled artists where the mixing isn't that important to me. They're created under the idea of the last songs you hear after a long night of partying and dancing and now it's time to chill out, lay back, and go out on a good note. It's like hanging out and passing out with some friends and you're taking turns switching the record. Some are feel good songs, other's have a little bounce to them, ... Read More:

There are two things that remixing can do to a song: on one hand, it can elevate a simple melody into an exquisitely complex new sound. On the other, it can turn it into a sloppy mess suitable only for club dancing. Unfortunately, "Simple Things: Remixes" is the second.
Things don't start off well: "Distractions (Bugz in the Attic Remix" kicks things off with a spasmodic electronic beat overlaid over a wavery mix, while "In the Waiting Line (Dorfmeister con Madrid de los Austrias Dub)" adds a Latin flavor to the original.
"Distractions (Madlibs Ynq Remix)" is a flatulent, plodding remix, while "End Theme (Roni Size's Tear It Up Remix)" sounds like the soundtrack to a sci-fi thriller. Only "Destiny (Photek Remix)" has any redeeming value, ... Read More:

The title track is another heavenly release from Zero 7, relaxed with sensual female vocals. The track conjures up images of the summer and sun, with it's slow and easy going tempo.
On the other hand, there is the rest of the single. Aquanote's Naked Adapation for this track is nothing short of heavenly. We got some dance beat and the tempo is going up, but it keeps the easy and relaxed feel. Heavenly.

just want to clarify for anyone who might be misled by the other review, this is not "trance"... this is downtempo, with a little bit of a jazzy edge, and more than a little alt.rock/folk pop thrown in, but not too much, hence the guitars...
I agree this is excellent, nice price. All these songs are on their import CD, "Simple Things" a solid album, not one bad track, with a few that are truly exceptional. It's so solid that at first you'd think all the tracks sound the same, but there are many differences, some are not so subtle... this is more than just an excellent chill out album, it's really a downtempo classic!

This is my favorite CD. I bought it in france about 4 or 5 yrs ago and accidently misplaced it. I then couldn't find it in any stores and even Itunes didn't have it. :(
Thanks to Amazon for shipping me the best electro Trip-hop any has ever made.
