It quivers and it breaks; it suddenly grows breathy or droops down and away from the next note of a melody. It can be tearful or languid, startled or adamant; it can plead or mourn or offer an uncertain solace. It's a voice as ungovernable as desire and fate, which are Orton's constant subjects. Her songs don't tell stories. They meditate over a situation, noticing a detail here or a memory there, often pondering a recurring thought. At the Bowery Ballroom on Monday night, songs from her next album, "Daybreaker" (Heavenly/Astralwerks), which is due July 30, held reflections like "This was inevitable," or "May there never be a time that I don't love you." The music circled through two or three chords, able to linger indefinitely. With her previous albums, Ms. Orton leaned toward contemplation, letting the music ripple and sway while her voice pierced the seeming serenity. Now, coming into her own as a bandleader, she harnesses greater drama. Although she plays acoustic guitar, Ms. Orton made her first recordings with dance-music groups like the Chemical Brothers, and she has not forgotten the ways that repeating phrases can overlap and stack up into musical peaks. Her band, which included violin, cello and trumpet, still used the easy-rolling vamps she learned from Van Morrison, Minnie Riperton and Terry Callier. It was intricately understated music, entwining strands of folk, soul, reggae and jazz and following the pained insights of her lyrics with perfect sympathy. But in songs like "Paris Train" and "Mount Washington," Ms. Orton also summoned fitful crescendos and patterns as densely layered as a Steve Reich piece. As the music billowed and gusted, the rawness and desolation in Ms. Orton's voice only sounded more immediate. James Yorkston, the opener, had his own folk-rooted hybrid. He sang about sleepless nights and lost loves as he built acoustic-guitar picking into rich, complex drones; a second musician played harmonium, tambourine and lap-steel guitar. As if he was Scotland's answer to John Fahey, Mr. Yorkston extended the songs into mesmerizing fantasias.

Hi! I'm seeing Beth tomorrow, and am curious as I have not been able to find out if she's playing with a band on this, her mini-tour before Daybreaker, or she's going solo acoustic. Thanks for any information. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2002 17:11:01 -0400 From: "Armani Boy" Subject: beth mp3's anyone know where i can download mp3's of beth's new stuff?? please help.....i've not heard anything of the new material! thanks christiaan _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2002 16:22:50 EST From: sufan@i-2000.com Subject: Re: beth mp3's > anyone know where i can download mp3's of beth's new stuff?? please > help.....i've not heard anything of the new material! > > thanks > christiaan get yourself to philadelphia and go to the corner of south street and 4th...ask for a guy named "Stash" tell him you're looking for the new beth orton....tell him Mumbles sent you....he'll get you a cdr on the cheap or you could go to audiogalaxy - --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using I-2000 Web Mail. http://www.i-2000.com/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2002 17:06:27 -0400 From: "gale kessler" Subject: Re: beth mp3's "show that aired Wednesday, May 29, 2002 Beth Orton Acclaimed singer songwriter Beth Orton returns to perform new selections from her much anticipated album Daybreaker (due later this summer), on Morning Becomes Eclectic in the 11 o'clock hour." http://www.kcrw.org/cgi-bin/db/kcrw.pl?show_code=mb&air_date=5/29/02&tmplt_t ype=show you can rip that for mp3s if you've got the tools. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Armani Boy" To: ; ; Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 5:11 PM Subject: beth mp3's > anyone know where i can download mp3's of beth's new stuff?? please > help.....i've not heard anything of the new material! > > thanks > christiaan > > _________________________________________________________________ > Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2002 00:36:33 EDT From: Brwnshoe@aol.com Subject: Re: is Beth touring with or without a band? Yes, Beth has a band with her. When I saw her in San Francisco last month her band consisted of a bass fiddle, keyboardist, drums, cello, violin and guitar, with Beth on acoustic guitar. In the New York Times review of her New York show, posted today by Christopher, her band included a trumpet. Enjoy the show!

I don't know if it is just my copy or if this is a well-known thing, but my copy of Trailer Park seems to be just plain wrong. The back of the CD and the CD itself list 11 tracks, but there are only 10 on there. I got this CD in the US (from Amazon) so it is not the UK version. The listing is just plain wrong. There's no Sugar Boy to be found anywhere on the CD. Am I crazy? ------------------------------ End of trailer-park-digest V3 #36 *********************************
