I think that it's important to note that while there are those of us who
are quite on it in terms of keeping up with such artists, it's always
good to get exposure and recognition. As I understand it, Zero 7 are
well-hyped and noticed in Europe. However, most of the U.S. have never
heard of them. This is always a constant challenge for any artist, and
even more so for the artists with whom we embraced here on the list.
It's still a crying shame that many U.S. artists have to go outside the
States to get their exposure before returning here, but that's another
story.
There have been obvious comparisons to Air, but I do agree also that
Zero 7 is one that does grow on you with its own
personality--musically-speaking. The more people who listen to it, the
better IMO.
My two cents...
