"A nice little album from Beth Orton. Predominantly an acoustic Laurel Canyon type record with some nice songs. Not brilliant, but very good." Reply

"This album has had a huge influence on me as a musician/composer. It's really hard to explain why (especially in English, which is not my first language), but this album moves me in ways very few instrumental albums do.

"SUCH a solid record. Chock full of great songs. Don't let descriptions of dark make you wary, although it does give that vibe (at times)" Reply
