Sheila Chandra's impact on the mainstream may have been fairly minimal--Grange Hill and Top Of The Pops appearances with Monsoon aside--but she has been creating music of originality and beauty since she was 16 years old. Residing for the past eight years on the Realworld label, her body of work for them makes up this retrospective. Chandra appears throughout as a voice alone, accompanied only by the occasional drone, and while this is sometimes as experimental as it sounds (in her sleeve notes she claims to "make albums I know I can't go out and buy") elsewhere this is much to attract the casual listener, albeit one who is prepared to work a little bit harder than normal. The extracts from ABoneCroneDrone and Speaking In Tongues are certainly testing, but a new version of Monsoon's "Ever So Lonely" still shows the pop sparkle that made it such a joy in the first place. Several moments even recall British folk song, a fact enforced by a closing version of the traditional "Blacksmith" that is not a million miles away from Steeleye Span's reading.
