Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Having collaborated with such dance acts as Red Snapper and the Chemical Brothers, singer-songwriter Beth Orton is sometimes regarded as a young folky hitching a ride on the electronica bandwagon. On Trailer Park, however, she harks back to a lost Seventies tradition whose exponents included Traffic, Tim Buckley and especially John Martyn, all of whom worked in a hazy interface between jazz, blues and folk. Fleshed out with multiple layers of vibes, strings and keyboards, Trailer Park is at once a soul-searching and sensual album, with Orton's flat-edged and indistinct lyrics often seeming to melt in her own mouth. Only "Sweetest Decline", featuring Dr John on keyboards seems slightly twee. Otherwise on the likes of "Couldn't Cause Me Harm" and "Feel To Believe", the pleasures and pains of love are conveyed so tangibly it almost hurts. --David Stubbs
CD Description
1996 saw the release of Beth Orton's acclaimed debut album 'Trailer Park'. With its fusion of folk, 60's girl group harmonies and electronica, it encompassed the sounds of the late 1990s. This special edition features live versions of 'Galaxy Of Emptiness', 'Touch Me With Your Love', as well as early versions of 'Demons' and 'Best Bits'. It also includes collaborations with the legendary Terry Callier on tracks suchas 'Dolphins' and 'Lean On Me', making this collection the ultimate must-have for fans.
