This debut platter from Portished chanteuse Beth Gibbons deserves more attention than I have been able to give it today and any Portished fans will, (contrary to others opinions) feel some affinity with this music as I have. Sure its not Trip-hop, there is more at work here, but I detect definite Portishedisms throughout . A partly acoustic affair but with some nice strings like on the skewered pop of "Tom The Modal", plenty of jazz influences as well as a slight country feel to one track among other styles. Beth's silky smooth but sultry vocals excel through out and although mostly familiar, there are times where she tries something different but to not quite the best effect. As I mentioned earlier this record deserves more fuller inspection for a deeper appreciation of it's finer qualities. my Rating 3.5/5
