For me at the moment - there's only two names in chillout - Zero 7 and Air.
It would be unfair to compare the two - as the styles are completely different - but there is something about Air that places them above everyone else.
This album is probably their best work so far - as it has finally gotten rid of the slightly cheesy numbers that plagued some of their earlier work.
Listening to Air should be an experience - but also - the essence of chillout is that it doesn't become too intense. The great thing about this album - is that one can probably listen to it in almost any situation. I certainly can.
There are a number of really excellent songs on this - including 'Cherry Blossom Girl' ,'Run', 'Surfing On A Rocker', 'Alpha Beta Gaga' (from the O2 advert) and the exceptional 'Alone In Kyoto' from the Lost In Translation soundtrack.
The only weak track in my opinion is Mike Mills - but it's hardly weak - it just lacks the harmonic and melodic depth of the other tracks.
Air's strength is to create a mood throughout the album - and with the help of the truly exceptional mixing talents of Nigel Godrich - they have done that. They have produced a very clean sounding and very accessible album - and this is an album that really should be on everyone's shelf.
