Formed out of a nascent art collective of musicians, graphic designers, and gadabouts, The Gentle People first offered up their unique style of subversive lounge music upon their arrival on the London music scene in 1993. Immediately garnering the interest of Aphex Twin's electronica pioneer Richard D. James, The Gentle People were kindly asked if they would issue their music on James' Rephlex Records. The band's first EP, "Journey," was released in 1994 to much critical acclaim, and its success would help foster a whole new genre of lounge "chill-out" music which is, still today, the soundtrack for hipsters throughout the globe, played in funky shops, restaurants, and chic bars forevermore. After a second hit EP "Emotion Heater"), the band released its first full length album Soundtracks For Living. (The disc was named Mixmag's LP of the month for January 1997.) Three years later, riding the wave of their single "Groovin' With You," The Gentle People reigned in the new millennium with their sophomore album Simply Faboo. Meshing lush dreamy vocals and strings with quirky electro and disco beats, the techno bubblegum feel of Simply Faboo instantly became the pick of many hip sophisticates around the globe.
