Album Review
Compiling tracks from his three Strange Cargo albums (with recordings dating from 1984 to 1994), William Orbit displays a range of recording styles, drifting from the ambient-pop of "Water from a Vine Leaf" with Beth Orton to recordings more obsessed with trance and world rhythms.
Customer Reviews
some really good tracks on here
I think the previous reviewer was a little harsh in giving this only one star without even listening to it! (If you only want Water from a Vine Leaf you can download it from Napster off Beth Orton's Pass in Time). Album Only tracks can be really annoying but it does mean it introduces some of us to good music we otherwise might not have bought. WFAVL is definitely the best on this but there are some other great tracks as well, in particular Gringatcho Demento, Story of Light and Silent Signals. Sample it and you might buy it.
A wall of sound
Forget about whether a track is or is not included. This comes out of the speaker as a pure wall of beautiful sound. There are moments when Mr Orbit sinks into mellow, times when he lifts you up. But always beautiful. If you're looking for smooth bedtime music or something just to chill with you will find an enjoyable variety here.
really poor
...why not allow 'water from a vine leaf' as a single purchase? Nice to see a whole new, cynical way in which you're forced to buy music you don't want in order to get some (actually here one track) that you do. 'Album only' indeed. Pathetic.
