Beth Orton: Trailer Park 1996 + Central Reservation 1999
Again Kostas over at Urbanaspirines in Greece turns up the goods in his profile of Beth Orton who we like . . .a lot!
London-based singer songwriter Beth Orton, having learned the trade from William Orbit and the Chemical Brothers, spiced her pensive folk ballads with electronic sounds on Superpinkymandy (EMI, 1993), recorded under the supervision of her mentor William Orbit and at times evoking Lida Husik's ethereal early work. As a cross between Joni Mitchell and Bjork, Orton penned several gems on Trailer Park (Dedicated, 1997): She Cries Your Name, Touch Me With Your Love and Someone's Daughter. The ten-minute Galaxy Of Emptiness attempts an ambitious fusion of folk and trip-hop.
