Superpinkymandy
''SuperpinkyMandy'' is the debut studio album of British singer Beth Orton. Largely in the style of electronica, and produced closely with then boyfriend William Orbit, it was a limited Japan-only release, with about 5000 copies pressed. As such, it is very much sought after. Orton largely passes over the release when interviewed, citing 1996's ''Trailer Park'' as her first release. It has a dance influenced style rather than the folktronica sound of her subsequent albums. "Don't Wanna Know 'bout Evil" and "Where Do You Go" would later appear on the collection '' Pass in Time''. "Don't Wanna Know 'bout Evil" is a cover of the song "Don't Want to Know" by John Martyn from his album Solid Air. Background Orton began working with William Orbit on an LP together as Spill, entitled ''Burn Blind''. "Don't Wanna Know 'Bout Evil" was the first track on the album that ended up being released in just Orton's name. ''Superpinkymandy'', was named after a rag doll which she bought at a ju ...

Beth Orton
Elizabeth Caroline Orton (born 14 December 1970) is an English musician, known for her "folktronica" sound, which mixes elements of folk and electronica. She was initially recognised for her collaborations with William Orbit, Andrew Weatherall, Red Snapper and the Chemical Brothers in the mid-1990s. Her UK/US first solo album, ''Trailer Park'', received much critical acclaim in 1996. Orton developed a devoted audience with the release of the BRIT Award-winning album ''Central Reservation'' (1999) and the 2002 UK top 10 album, '' Daybreaker''.

She Cries Your Name
"She Cries Your Name" is a song by Beth Orton. It was released as her third single and found on her 1996 debut album ''Superpinkymandy'' and again, as a slightly different version, on her 1996 release ''Trailer Park''. It was also re-released in 1997, with a different set of B-sides. Background An early version of "She Cries Your Name" appeared on the 1995 William Orbit album ''Strange Cargo Hinterland''. This version was substantially different from Orton's solo versions, removing most of the folk elements. Orton would later repurpose her chorus on the Orton song, sung repeatedly with layered vocals, as the chorus of her solo version of the track. The 1996 re-release of "She Cries Your Name" was the lead single from ''Trailer Park''. Both releases contain 4 songs, and were released on CD and vinyl. The initial release peaked at #76, and the re-release at #40 in the UK official singles chart. Video The video for "She Cries Your Name" was shot in a trailer park in the Mojave ...

Trailer Park (album)
''Trailer Park'' is the solo debut album by British singer Beth Orton. Combining folk, electronica, and trip hop elements, it earned Orton two BRIT Award nominations. One single from the album was the opening track, "She Cries Your Name", which previously appeared in a different form on William Orbit's album ''Strange Cargo Hinterland''. All songs were co-written by Orton except for a cover version of Phil Spector's "I Wish I Never Saw the Sunshine." The album was among the first to fuse elements of 1960s and 1970s folk with modern electronica and trip hop. An expanded two-disc Legacy Edition was released internationally on 10 March 2009. Critical reception Chris Jones of BBC Music called ''Trailer Park'' "a very English record" and wrote that "only on the poppier 'Don't Need a Reason' or 'Someone's Daughter' does she go badly wrong."

Jumble Sale
A jumble sale (UK), bring and buy sale (Australia) or rummage sale (U.S and Canada) is an event at which second hand goods are sold, usually by an institution such as a local Boys' Brigade Company, Scout group, Girlguiding group or church, as a fundraising or charitable effort. A rummage sale by a church is called a church sale or white elephant sale, frequently as part of a church bazaar. Garage sales usually differ from rummage sales in that they are not event-related and are often organised individually (rather than collectively). United Kingdom Organisers will usually ask local people to donate goods, which are set out on tables in the same manner as at car boot sales, and sold to members of the general public, who may have to pay a fee to enter the sale. Typically in the UK the entry fee is a few pence or pounds. Jumble sales may be becoming less popular in the UK, as car boot sales and the World Wide Web enable people to sell their unwanted goods rather than dona ...

Solid Air
''Solid Air'' is the fourth studio album by Scottish folk singer-songwriter John Martyn, released in February 1973 by Island Records. Background The album was recorded over eight days and features instrumental contributions by bassist Danny Thompson and members of Fairport Convention. "Solid Air", the title track, was dedicated to a friend of Martyn's, Nick Drake, who would die of an antidepressant overdose 18 months after the album was released. Martyn said of the track "It was done for a friend of mine, and it was done right with very clear motives, and I'm very pleased with it, for varying reasons. It has got a very simple message, but you'll have to work that one out for yourself." The album features an avant-garde cover of Skip James' "Devil Got My Woman", here retitled "I'd Rather Be the Devil" and performed with heavy use of Martyn's Echoplex tape delay effect. "May You Never" became something of a signature song for Martyn, becoming a staple of his live performances. Re ...

Dance Music
Dance music is music composed specifically to facilitate or accompany dancing. It can be either a whole musical piece or part of a larger musical arrangement. In terms of performance, the major categories are live dance music and recorded dance music. While there exist attestations of the combination of dance and music in ancient times (for example Ancient Greek vases sometimes show dancers accompanied by musicians), the earliest Western dance music that we can still reproduce with a degree of certainty are old fashioned dances. In the Baroque period, the major dance styles were noble court dances (see Baroque dance). In the classical music era, the minuet was frequently used as a third movement, although in this context it would not accompany any dancing. The waltz also arose later in the classical era. Both remained part of the romantic music period, which also saw the rise of various other nationalistic dance forms like the barcarolle, mazurka, ecossaise, ballade and po ...
