Zero 7由Henry Binns及Sam Hardaker两位在伦敦当地录音室工作的伙伴一起组合而成，九零年代初期他们潜伏于录音室中，锻炼各种音乐制作上的技巧，并逐步发表他们改造别人歌曲的混音作品，其人以为英国摇滚名团Radiohead的”Climbing up the walls”以及Terry Callier的”Love Theme from Spartacus”最引人注目，展露精湛的制作功力，并与Pet Shop Boys及Robert Plant等巨星合作，在首张专辑《Simple Things》出版之前他们发表了两张少量生产的EP，造成了一股抢购搜集的热潮。
《Simple Things》一张集合各式轻松电乐感觉的作品，混融爵士、灵魂、放克等元素在柔缓的chill-out电音情调中，辑内的演唱歌声部份特别找到了 Mozez,Sia Furler以及曾在Groove Armada、 Grooverider专辑中献声的Sophie Barker跨刀。音乐杂志形容他们是”英国的Air”，也有很多人喜欢把他们拿来和Morcheeba, Rae & Christian, Nightmares on Wax及早期的Massive Attack等乐团做比较，不过这些都不能确切地表达出Zero 7在此辑中的完美演出，不刻意地加入歌剧中受灵魂乐影响的女伶歌声，古典音乐的编曲风格以及带有迷幻气息的电子音墙，实在令人不得不赞叹这两位制作高手的深厚功夫。
NME音乐周报－８分，All Music Guide音乐网站－四颗半星，都给予此辑近满分的超高评价，而Zero7也以这张作品分别荣膺英国两大指针性音乐奖：水星音乐奖(Mercury Music Prize) “年度专辑”及全英音乐奖(Brit Award) “最佳新进团体”等提名。喜欢轻淡舒缓的如Air、 Groove Armada、 Bent这些人的电音作品的话，千万别错过Zero 7这张专辑，光是”In the Waiting Line”一曲中的曼妙曲调就足以让人流连忘返。

B.R.M.C. is the self-titled debut album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, released on Virgin Records on April 3, 2001. This first release made an immediate impact through the music world, making them part of the 'garage revolution' that The Strokes spawned in the early 2000s. Although the album wasn't as popular as The Strokes's debut, it earned the band a stable fanbase.
The first 35 seconds of "Love Burns" incorporates a section of the song "TV Loop (Deep Down)", later released on the "Whatever Happened to My Rock and Roll (Punk Song)" double-7-inch single and on the Screaming Gun EP.

The samples are so classic taking me back to being a young pup, bridging synaptic gaps that lay open for decades. The 'Cooking with Gas' commercial samples and the Coca-Cola samples were a great ride back to the seventies. BUT this is not a 70's hits mix of any sort.

The debut by this Paris based trio is a relaxed blend of tango dance rhythms and Argentinean instrumentation. The group was brought together by their passion to combine sound with image and to marry electronic and acoustic music. They built on their house, dub, and hip-hop influenced productions by adding two of Argentina's finest tango musicians, the musical result being supremely distinctive, incorporating bandonion (a form of accordion), violin, and vocals. This release includes 2000's most memorable jazz-house hit, "Triptico", which has already sold over 400,000 copies worldwide. The US version features the original ten tracks from the European release, along with a special bonus disc of the "Santa Maria" video plus four audio tracks.

For the last three years Valerie Trebeljahr has been quietly whittling away at her very own blueprint of pop music. Steering well clear of prevalent harmless geniality, her aim is to cleverly and intelligently dissect our perception of the world around us. After initial, tentative solo ventures on a four track and contributions to the Hausmusik „Reihenhaus" 7" series as well as „The Safe Side" on Belgian label K-raa-k, Lali Puna have now become a fully fledged band, carefully selecting band members (from Console, Notwist, Tied and Tickled Trio, Iso 68, Fred is Dead) as well as infrequent collaborators (Bomb the Bass, Two Lone Swordsmen). Following last years album debut "Tridecoder", their latest offering "Scary World Theory", again released by Morr Music, has now achieved the perfect combination of pop and (personal) politics. Behind ostensibly shy, almost withdrawn vocals Valerie is by no means coy about confronting the world's ambivalent status quo, bluntly documenting current conditions underneath putative fragility. And the music, too, demands our full attention. Between hummable chords and sometimes soothing, almost hypnotic monotony, each repetition discloses multi-layered complexity as well as cleverly hidden counterpoints. No matter if atmospheric (Satur-nine), exuding classical warmth (Contratempo, Lowdown) or quietly breathy (Scary World Theory) - again and again Lali Puna tear heartbreaking harmonies from the sparsest of arrangements. 50 Faces Of rewinds the beat to move our feet with funky House breaks, intersected by stubbornly chirping electronics. Nevertheless, Lali Puna's precision is best revealed on Nin-com-pop or Don't Think - here seemingly unemotional reduction coaxes its way into our ears with unflustered self-confidence and refuses to go away. Produced by Mario Thaler (a.o. Notwist, Slut) "Scary World Theory" is a confidently melancholic album quite happy with itself. And willing to spread that happiness. If we're prepared to let it enter our lives, that is.

Deluxe issues of the album have two bonus songs, "Still Day The Sun" & "Patterns In The Ivy II."

Drukqs (stylised as drukQs) is the fifth studio album by Aphex Twin, a pseudonym used by English electronic musician Richard D. James. The album is a double album and peaked at number 22 on the UK Albums Chart, selling 11,476 copies in its first week of release.

Rotten Apples (The Smashing Pumpkins – Greatest Hits as titled on the album's cover) is a greatest hits compilation album by alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins. In the US, it was released on November 20, 2001, along with a bonus disc titled Judas O. The album's concluding track, "Untitled", was the Pumpkins' final recording before their breakup. Completed in the days leading up to the band's farewell concert at the Metro in Chicago, it was also released as a single. Another notable track is "Real Love"; while previously released on Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music, this was taken from the factory master tapes and, as a result, lacks the pops and clicks inherent in all copies of Machina II (which is vinyl sourced).
