Influence

Zero 7 have been popularly featured in various film and TV soundtracks, as well as lounge music compilations such as The Chillout Project by Filipino DJ Anton Ramos, and the Hôtel Costes compilation CDs. Their track "Lo" was featured on a mix CD by Layo and Bushwacka!, and is the reason behind the common mistake of people thinking that Layo and Bushwacka! had remixed the track. It is one of the few times the track has actually appeared on CD or in digital form, as the only Zero 7 release it has been featured on is EP1 which was only available on vinyl. Their music appearances in movies and television are also apparent, most notably their songs "Destiny" (Blue Crush, Raising Helen, Roswell), "Give It Away" (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), and "In The Waiting Line" (Garden State, Sex and the City, House). Currently, "Destiny" is featured on the Lacoste website. For SkyTV's broadcast of the Star Wars Saga, "Destiny" was used as the background music in the romance version of the full length commercial. In early 2006, HBO used "In The Waiting Line" for a promotional for the network's upcoming season of shows. The 96-second trailer featured clips of the shows moving in backwards fashion.

Zero 7 have also been popularly featured in various film and TV soundtracks, as well as lounge music compilations such as The Chillout Project by Philippine DJ Anton Ramos, and the Hôtel Costes compilation CDs.

Zero 7's very first release was a remix of Radiohead's "Climbing Up the Walls" -- a break afforded the twosome by their college friend Nigel Godrich, Radiohead's producer.
The simple answer is that Zero 7 revives a few old sounds, albeit in a different manner from its regurgitant electronica peers.
Another theory about the group's success is that Zero 7 is the leader of a chill-out renaissance, which is supposedly luring British youth away from clubs and into relaxation.
