Product Description

CD Description
Cult Brit indie-folk songstress follows up 2002's 'Daybreak' with this fourth album. Recorded in just two weeks with indie-rock guru Jim O'Rourke (Gastr Del Sol, Sonic Youth, Wilco) at the helm, it continues Orton's move away from the electronica elements that adorned her earlier work to a more traditional, folky style, which sports a stark directness and authenticity. Includes the single 'Conceived'. This special edition features a second disc with five bonus tracks.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fine collection that gets better with each listen, 8 May 2006
By Phil Robertshaw (Wirral, England) - See all my reviews
An earthy voice, catchy musical arrangements and original, often amusing lyrics (the opening line of the album is 'Worms don't dance, they haven't got the balls'). All this adds up to a charming album. The centrepiece and first single, Conceived, is a marvellous piece of work with a catchy chorus that stays in your head for hours, and its predecessor Shadow of a Doubt has a similar effect. Beth Orton has an almost conversational style at times, and perhaps this is one of the reasons you feel you're in the room with her as she sings to you.

This special edition comes with a second disc with 5 other tracks that feel more raw than the rest. The reworking of the title track as a duet is particularly excellent. All in all, this album is a must-buy for Beth Orton's existing fans, and a worthwhile purchase for those looking for someone out of the mainstream who can provide relaxing, harmonic music to die for.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful collection, 28 April 2006
By R. Maddison "Rob M" (Northampton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A stripped down acoustic set from Beth this time out.

I love Heartlandtruckstop and Coceived. Other highlights for me are Countenance, Absinthe and Pieces of Sky. Beth's emotion in the latter is tear-jerking on it's own, and is worth the price of the album.

If you've never bought a Beth Orton album buy this one. I'f you have and want to revisit her wonderful songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe just a little too smooth, but worth 5 Stars!, 11 April 2006
A beautiful collection of songs that should appeal to all. The special Edition CD has a few interesting songs that are a little rougher, and show how the album could have been just a little closer to the edge.
