O'Connor's voice injects emotion into the dark trip-hop of Massive Attack's "Special Case," as well as the haunting South Asian dub of Asian Dub Foundation's "1000 Mirrors." On the Eastern-tinged "Guide Me God," a dance hit in 2002, O'Connor duets with Natacha Atlas (Ghostland), while delving further into worldbeat on Afro Celt Sound System's dub-influenced "Release." "Harbour" by Moby features O'Connor at her most melancholy, begging "sink me in the ocean, to sleep in a sailor's grave," before resolving in quiet, downtempo majesty. O'Connor reachers her zenith with Peter Gabriel's "Blood of Eden," on which she compliments Gabriel's throaty baritone for a powerful atmosphere. Additional collaborations with U2, The The, Colourfield, Conjure One, and several others prove O'Connor's ability to infuse her signature style into any genre without overwhelming the song itself.An outstanding lineup of collaborators makes this Sinead O'Connor release an essential purchase for an incredibly broad range of contemporary music buyers.Sunday 1 July 2007
