Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Another audio fromage collage from the Gentle People, those self-styled space travellers. This is the music they call "easycore": it combines the digital technology of today with the lost sounds of yesterday to create the music of tomorrow. With their own unique brand of ambient lounge electronica, they conjure up soundscapes to soothe and pleasure the listener. On this, their second album they create more contemporary lounge tunes whilst embracing house inflected rhythms. This album invites favourable comparison with the best offerings from Stereolab, Dimitri From Paris and Air. The groovier tracks include "Shopping World", "Gentle People Are Love", "Superstar" and "Underwater". Remember: you too are simply faboo! --F.B.Hawkes

This CD is more pop than you would expect from Rephlex. Nevertheless, this is even better than most of Rephlex latest electronica CDs, the melodies make you feel a longing, some are up-lifting, some are dreamy, very varied styles but cinematic as a whole. I think they would do great on MTV if some music clip was aired on chill out zone or alternative nation, this is very elegant and sophisticated production.

Wow, simply Faboo is just that. Listening to the music takes one on a ride through the sky on a perma grin.

Gentle People are funky
6 Dec 1999
Format:Audio CD
The Gentle People do it again, and again and again! These masters and mistresses of tasty electronica will put a smile on your face and keep it there. "Gentle People Are Love" is alone worth buying the CD for: a funky disco groove-on that will get yer booty shakin', yeah!

Deliciosamente Frivolo
8 Feb 2001
Format:Audio CD
Un cambio excelente de Gentle People, SimplyFaboo es un album diferente al trabajo anterior del grupo donde deja a un lado el 100% del down tempo que los caracteriza para hacer piezas mucho mas alegres y con letras absurdas e inocentes como acostumbran. Lo mejor del disco: Shopping World y Gentle People are Love. Un disco muy divertido.

instant classic
4 Dec 2000
Format:Audio CD
Apart from serving up some of the best sounds of the moment (file under ambient/lounge), the Gentle People are a great product: the album cover, the web site, the lyrics, the names all create a unique, homogenous world. In short, the music sounds like the name suggests. It's all done with tongues firmly in cheek, of course, and not meant to be taken seriously. The 70s disco pastiche, "Gentle People are Love" will bring a smile to your face but the music is too damned good to be dismissed as a loungey joke. Good fun and a great listen.
