Thanks Nial. I've not listened to any Beth Orton since Trailer Park, which was distinctly underwhelming. I guess I should see what she's been up to since.

I only ever listen to one Beth Orton song, and it's this one, which also "floats along beautifully":

Miss Orton recently pushed in front of me in a queue for a Jim Jones Revue gig, so if she thinks I'm going to purchase any more of her work then she's really quite mistaken.

is overly full with the works of Sunshine Anderson - but I do have this one - "Heard it All Before" is a truly fantastic record
