Beth orton made a stunning debut in 1997 with this fusion of folk rock and electronica. She, along with David gray, straddles the line between acoustic folk rock and 90s electronica very successfully. This album and David Gray's 'White Ladder' are the two albums that I love most in the folk-electronica genre. The fusion is best symbolised on this album by the opening track 'She Cries Your name' and also 'Someone's Daughter' near the very end that combine acosutic instruments with electronic beats. The rest of the songs usually lean one way or the other but such is the strength of her music that neither style of song feels out of place here.

Rating : 10/10
