957.0. "Tori Amos" by SAC::EDMUNDS (Save the whales. Collect the set) Tue Jan 07 1992 08:57

    Anyone heard any tracks from the upcoming album which I think is called
    "Little Earthquakes" (something to do with earthquakes anyway). The CD
    has been played a bit on R1 and some commercial stations, and it's
    released next Monday (Jan 13). What I've heard so far sounds excellent.

957.1At least I think we're talking about the same personARRODS::WHITEHEADJDo *you* know Boko Fittleworth?Tue Jan 07 1992 10:225
   I'm glad someone else remembered her name.  I couldn't.  I saw her on 
   one of  Jonathan Ross's shows the other week, I don't know the name of 
   the song she sung but it was brilliant.  Anyone else know?

    Reviewed in Q this month and given 4 stars. She looks quite nice too.

    Is she the girl who looked uncomfortable on a stool  on the Jonathon
    Ross show recently?

957.6I like itSAC::EDMUNDSSave the whales. Collect the setMon Jan 13 1992 08:546
    The album is pretty good I think. Perhaps a sort of 90s Kate Bush. I do
    get the impression that many more albums in this format would be boring
    though - almost all the songs are piano/vocals, plus some (limited)
    strings. However, that said, it works well for this album.

957.7SAC::EDMUNDSIt's only life after allMon Feb 10 1992 00:088
    Saw her at Reading University this evening. Pretty good. Just her on
    stage playing an electric piano, but sounded great. Couple of overheard
    comments on the way out: "never seen anyone put so much emotion into
    their songs" ... "very strong voice".
    
    Thanks to Andy L for the 'phone call telling me she was there tonight!

957.8Live vs AlbumKERNEL::DAVIESOTue Feb 11 1992 10:009
    
    Yeah i saw that concert to, i think the album is a waste of time, i
    just wish i had a walkman with me and had recorded her live. I don't
    know what they did to the album, but the woman writes great songs and
    knows how to sing them, perhaps a change of producer?

    I'm surprised you liked her live and don't like the album - any special
    reason why? The album isn't prefect, but it's pretty damn good for a
    debut album. Having said that, it's much more difficult to do a solo
    act with just a piano live than it is to record a studio album, so
    perhaps more credit is due for the live act.
    
    I was amused by her choice of the two covers she did in the live set
    (and, incidentally, by her decision not to sing "China", which is
    her current single): the covers were "Can't get enough of your love"
    and "Angie" (did she sing "Andy"? I wasn't sure).
