    With Garden, Zero 7 have created what could be the ultimate summer evening record: warm pop hooks, lush instrumentation, unobtrusive electronica elements, and '60s-style harmonies that all come together into superb, wonderfully descriptive songs.

    A warmed-over stew of scrubbed-up psychedelia, scrubbed-up sunshine pop, scrubbed-up soundtrack music, electrofunk, and lounge that's all produced immaculately, right down to the "messy" parts.

    It seems all music are the same... and the beautiful voice of Sia didn't need to be so... superlative. Sometimes, less is more.

    Not for fans of the last two albums. I don't really know if I can rate this fairly, as Zero-7 have flipped to a genre I don't really recognize (repetitive up-tempo). Esthero's newest CD, and some of the emerging groups from France do a much better job of...whatever this is.… Expand
