    Fellow groovers

    Just returned from the Roskilde festival,
    where I went to see Zero 7, given the line up
    was so freaking conservative and boring.

    I had really been looking forward to seeing
    Zero 7 since their music has gotten a hook on me
    big time.

    I was no less than absolutely taken away in the
    beautiful melodies and songs that they performed.

    There were two leadsingers taking turns backed
    up by two backingvocals.

    In my humble opinion it worked really well.
    Soulful, powerful, insisting and really truly wonderful.

    Overall I think Zero 7 manages to cruise into
    voyeristic dreamland on the gentle breezes of
    imagination and closed eyes.

    Kick Jazz., dj wax

    Ps : Best concert so far this year - though not on Roskilde -
    has to be Nitin Sawhney :-))

    Bugge Wesseltoft coming up in three days time at the Copenhagen
    Jazz festival. .....
