Entertainment WeeklyWhile the electronic cuts drone, Orton's emotive strumming in "Ali's Waltz" will break your heart. [5 Sep 2003, p.76]
-
Sure, it has a slightly confusing air to it, but with lost gems like "Ali's Waltz" and "Beautiful World" popping up along the way, that's part of the fun.

It's certainly a lot more wide-ranging and engaging than its predecessor.
-
You can mess with Orton's music however you want -- add layers of electronica or strip them away to reveal the folkie within - and the songs will still work, because her melodies are that strong and her voice that compelling.
