This addition to the Another Late Night series follows hot on the heels of Zero 7's popular 2001 debut, Simple Things, which fit in nicely with the current staying-in-is-the-new-going-out trend in dance music. What better way to reward fans of all things downtempo and chilled out than to lend their record boxes to one of the genre's most potent and respected series? As a look into the influences behind Simple Things, it's illuminating; every song sounds like it could have been playing on a corner jukebox while they were making the album. From the DJ Shadow-esque "Channel Suite 1" by the Cinematic Orchestra to the Stylistics' trippy nursery version of "People Make the World Go Round," this is music to simultaneously open your heart and nod your head to. --Ruby Tuesday

Product Description

Out of print in the U.S.! A rare find in these days of corporate compilations ; a mix CD which manages to introduce artists new to the listener and give insight into the influences of the compilers, while being an excellent listen from start to finish. That the record manages to flow while including such a wide variety of styles is evidence not only of Zero 7's expert mixing skills, but of their understanding of the music and what makes it work together. Features songs from Roots Manuva, Slum Village, Cinematic Orchestra, Jim O'Rourke, Joy Zipper and many others. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jeez, how dim are you lot?, September 22, 2004

This review is from: Another Late Night (Audio CD)

Yes, it's a compilation album of tracks that inspired the compiler, just like all the other 'Another Late Night' CDs. Seemingly a lot of folks here instantly dismissed it on that basis. Besides which, the tracks included are very Zero-7ish in vibe:
Cinematic Orchestra's string-drenched Channel 1 Suite, a dub workout of Roots Manuva's Witness, Madlib's helium-voiced alias Quasimoto and winds down with Herbert's mighty remix of Serge Gainsbourg.
Check it out, unless you strictly sit on the Groove Armada/Fatboy Slim fence there'll be plenty of new albums worth investigating on the strength of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars People Are Idiots, July 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Another Late Night (Audio CD)

Simple Things is on of the coolest albums to come out in a while and Zero 7 certainly take you on a wonderful ride. Another Late Night is a CD of a much different type and purpose. The CD is great in it's own right because it stands firmly as a compilation and gives an insight into what inspired Zero 7.

Any idiot who thought this was a new disc by Zero 7 and bashes it accordingly because it is not, well...why read a review by someone who can't even read a CD's description before purchasing it.

This is Mellow, Classic stuff...for the refined ear.

This review is from: Another Late Night (Audio CD)

After hearing Rae and Christian's Another Late Night, I really had to hear more of the series (DJ Dan, Zero 7, Groove Armada), so I picked this CD up. Amazon had also recommended Zero 7 to me independantly.

It started out innocently enough, with some loungey jazzy beats and ambient mood to it. The record rapidly turned, however, within three tracks, to a meta-rap deluge over mild and meek beats.

After another couple tracks, the rap thinned out some, and it was replaced with some more upbeat, electronic jazz tones. I think that about half way through is really the highlight of the album. Bright and melodic, but still downtempo enough to be a relaxing listen.

Shortly thereafter, however, the record makes a foray back into the hard rap-over-quiet-music genre.

Thankfully, the album finishes on a brighter note, and for about four tracks, the album is worth listening to.

I don't regret buying the album; I simply wish it had more substance to it. Buy used.
