"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!"
I LOVE the Gentle People!

"I have all their CD's, thanks to amazon.com. I rarely see them in stores. Their songs are like puppies - soft and cuddly. But still very cool. There's no one else like The Gentle People!!"

"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

"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."
