Wow…well, I've been to the Chemical Brothers and Crystal Method shows, have to say Zero 7 had absolutely nothing in common with them. Was thinking it would be more along the lines of Air, except maybe with a bit more soul. Maybe I needed to really hear the new record before seeing it in a concert setting, but to me the songs just didn't stand out. Sometimes one needs to absorb them more in order to appreciate them. But as a casual observer I was bummed, and I was there with about 9 other people and I think they were most disappointed by the lack of older material. But I'm glad that others enjoyed it and had a fun time.
Zero 7

Anyway, I've also been to Crystal Method shows (but not Chemical Brothers, though I do own a couple of their CDs and have stayed at a Holiday Inn), and I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on that matter. Most of Zero 7's music doesn't sound like that, but at least a couple of their more electronics-laden instrumentals did to my ears.
