A few years ago, DJ Faust agreed to start schooling me in the finer points of, well, music. Not just any music, but the kind of dulcet tones that he and other DJs were spinning in the clubs.

Among other recommendations, Faust told me about Zero 7. In particular, their song Distractions, from their debut album Simple Things, a downtempo effort with soaring vocals from Sia Furler that Faust said made him cry.

This morning it’s This Fine Social Scene, off the latest Zero 7 CD, The Garden, spinning in my head. Furler has the vocal duties again, this time more swooping and secure, almost delicate.
