Amazon.com's Best of 1999

There's no way to offer a shortcut description of what Beth Orton sounds like. There are so many musical styles pulsing through Central Reservation--jazz, folk, pop, rock, and dance--that the album could easily have ended up an empty exercise in genre-hopping. Instead, it's a bracing example of mongrel music at its best as Orton carves out a new musical vocabulary with deep roots in familiar sounds. --Keith Moerer

Amazon.com

Is Beth Orton the folkie Beck? Or is Beck an Orton with beats? Since both graze from genre to genre like goats feasting on whatever strikes their fancy, drawing parallels is tempting...and perhaps pointless. After all, both artists were born in 1970 and emerged at a time when musical categorization became an exercise in futility. English thrush Orton's third album--like her critically hailed debut and the Best Bit EP--prompts one to flash on an ever-swelling range of influences. Since she's blessed with the rich, warm voice of a true pop singer, it's easy to imagine her sharing space on some out-of-time radio playlist with Dusty Springfield (listen to the elegant, string-laden "Sweetest Decline"), except Orton's music draws on '90s trip-hop elements as well the jazzy folk of Tim Buckley and vet Terry Callier (reprising his Best Bit cameo). Orchestration, upright bass, vibes, and Orton's own resolute guitar give long, languid tracks such as "So Much More" and "Pass in Time" an Astral Weeks-like feel. All those touchstones and no fewer than six producers might imply that Central Reservation is something of a mishmash. In truth, Orton's overriding vision is all that's needed to create cohesion. --Steven Stolder

5 out of 5 stars file next to nick drake........2007-02-13

this is a stunning piece of work that sits comfortably next to the recordings of nick drake. each artist conveys a beautiful spirit of wistfulness, melancholy, and joy at any given turn. beth orton has the voice of an angel and to me this is her strongest set of songs, so far. I almost alway listen to this cd late in the evening because it seems to demand a quiet setting to bring out its riches in their fullest. i highly highly recommend that you get this.

5 out of 5 stars Good selection of songs.......2006-05-24

I am working my way backward with Beth Orton, I started with "Comfort of Strangers" and now "Central Reservation". Her work comes from so many different places, folk, rock, country, some electronic. I like it all so far, but am a bit partial to the folky stuff. I like the lyrics on this album, I find them poetic and moving at times. Most of her music does take a while to get into, but most challenging music does. I think her voice is in good spirits on "Central Reservation". I like all the songs on this CD, but "Sweetest Decline" and "Blood Red River" are the ones that move me the most.

5 out of 5 stars A WHISPER FROM UR CHILDHOOD.......2005-12-27

BETH ORTON....IS A NAME WHICH I INSTINCTIVELY REALISED THAT I M GONNA STAY WITH HER FOR A LONG TIME WHEN I FIRST HEARD HER IN CHEMICALBROTHERS ALBUM ..SINCE THEN I FIND ALL HER RATHER ANYTHIN SHE SINGS AMAZIN ..AND INNOCENT ...I LOVE U ...BETH

4 out of 5 stars Good, But Not Great.......2005-09-09

Okay, let's be honest--Beth Orton is NOT the best singer out there. She could benefit from a few more voice lessons. That said, she isn't painful to listen to, and in fact her song-writing and guitar playing make her someone I even enjoy listening to. A good album, I'd recommend it especially for those who like meaningful lyrics and soulful music.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best albums I own.......2004-08-09

This album would definately rank among my Top 10 favorite albums of all-time. Deep, sublime, and full of feeling, every song has something meaningful to say. A definate recommend.
