Simple Things, Zero 7's 2001 debut, is the sound of two studio engineers finally making a record of their own. Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker had cut their teeth at Mickie Most's RAK Studios in London, working on music for the likes of Pet Shop Boys and Robert Plant, and first used the Zero 7 name on a 1997 remix of Radiohead's "Climbing Up the Walls".
Their own music is trip-hop for the small hours, plush and unhurried, with "Destiny" and "In the Waiting Line" among the five singles sent out ahead of it. It hung around the UK albums chart for 56 weeks, peaking at 28, reached number four on Billboard's dance and electronic albums list, and earned a Mercury Prize nomination.
