beth orton - anything (two lone swordsmen remix)

just like in the entry about the patchworkz dub of "i am", the name of the game for this track is coldly sung female vocal riding on top of electro beats. my friend jan henrik was the one who introduced me the lone swordsmen remix of "anything" as he's played it plentyful times in his sets. i have no real relation to the original what so ever or the album that it comes from. not that i don't enjoy orton's artistry or voice since i do own "central reservation" but that is mainly for "stars all seems to weep" which is a gorgeous track.

on the original from orton's "daybreaker" album this song is a light bossanova-influenced jam that rides on it's string arrangement, trumpet accents and lazy groove. for andy weatherall & keith tenniswood's remix nothing from it seems to have been used as i think the vocal take is a new one. the highlight of the track which is the vicious midrangey saw that arises from the moog, is derived from the original bassline but it's been replayed. as with most elements with the strings and trumpet accents are replaced with lighter keys and synths

proper nice chunky electro music with hard hitting tr-808 drums, chunky bass and nice keys. all topped together with great vocals from orton.
