RE: (313) techno/house vs folk music

[Michael . Elliot-Knight]

while I love those three I have to disagree - Orton has written some very
nice pop tunes and she did a great EP with Terry Callier.  She's not the
best example of "folktronica" by any means.  Just the most visible and
accessible.  I wouldn't even associate her with the genre (if it even
exists).
I know what you're saying though, very Everything But the Girl in a way.

Avoid Beth Orton at all costs would be my advice. It's bland, insipid
coffee table snoozerama!

The only good thing she's done that I've heard is Spill - Don't Wanna Know
'Bout Evil

Plenty of good electronic folk out there with out recourse to her.

e.g.

Greg Davis
Animal Collective
Tuung
