Fucking hell this is nice

Air good. Zero 7 better.

this track originally on their first EP is most lovely

Zero 7's Late Night Tales compilation is a lot better. Also, Zero 7 didn't do anything as bad as Love 2.

Since no one else is doing it I'm going to have to be the one to stick my hand up and say I am firmly in the Air camp. Their later albums are admittedly pretty interchangeable (although they all have at least two good tracks - which I guess isn't exactly that glowing an endorsement), but following Moon Safari with 10,000 Hz Legend, pretty much exactly what the casual fanbase they'd built up did not want to hear and probably hugely stunting their careers in the process, when they could have just stuck out more of the same, gets them a lot of respect from me.

Anyone with even a passing interest in zero 7 must check out the 1972 album London Suite by The Peddlers which clearly was their biggest influence

Their break through single was even a cover from this album.

Agreed. I am a massive fan of Air by the way
