Zero 7's Simple Things could comfortably find its way in to a number of record store racks - soul, jazz or funk, conceivably even world - yet I discovered my copy lodged in the dance section, a testament to club culture's open door policy: if it's got a groove, grab it. But the cross-the-board appeal of Simple Things - it made a strong run for the UK's prestigious Mercury Prize in 2001 and is up for a Brit award in 2002 - might actually be something of a curse in disguise. Tasteful has become the back-handed complimented of the day and all of the tracks on this album have that discerning sheen. But at least a trio of the tracks rise above that particular description: the pearl-like musical settings on the tunes "Destiny", "Distractions" and "In the Waiting Line" carry just enough of a hint of grit to rise above the finely-honed, but ultimate mundanity, of much that surrounds them.
