Release date: 21-01-2008 2009 US-pressed UK edition 17-track 2-LP vinyl set - 'Abnormally Attracted To Sin' is indeed a treasure. An elaborate feast made from home-grown stock, offered up to a generation fed on small meals made with cheap ingredients; and is Amos at her most passionate and most comfortable. The album has a typically detailed and wide sound, dominated by dark, rich reds and hints of silver ['I want to make audio mescaline' Tori said]. The moodis dark but charged, like a late night conversation [or confession] held over several bottles of wine. Recorded in Cornwall by Tori's husband Mark Hawley and his partner Marcel Van Limbeek, the album includes the single 'Welcome To England'. Presented in a gatefold picture sleeve. Tracks: 01. Give 02. Welcome To England 03. Strong Black Vine 04. Flavor 05. Not Dying Today 06. Maybe California 07. Curtain Call 08. Fire To Your Plain 09. Police Me 10. That Guy 11. Abnormally Attracted To Sin 12. 500 Miles 13. Mary Jane 14. Starling 15. Fast Horse 16. Ophelia 17. Lady In Blue With more than 12 million albums sold, and commanding a significant and uniquely loyal audience from the rock, pop, alternative, and under-the-radar regions of the musicworld, Ms. Amos has influenced a new generation of artists in a myriad of platforms. Most recently, she was the catalyst for a one-of-a-kind anthology chronicling her career, the 500 page Graphic Novel, Comic Book Tattoo, featuring stunning visual interpretations of her songs by more than 80 artists, (including an introduction by friend and creative influence artist Neil Gaiman, creator of the Sandman series). Her genre-shattering breakthrough in the early 1990s, including 1991’s Me And A Gun EP, and 1992’s masterwork, Little Earthquakes, single-handedly revived the piano-singer motif in rock music. Little Earthquakes went on to sell more than 3 million albums worldwide, with subsequent Grammy nominated albums such as Under The Pink (1994), 1996’s Boys For Pele, 2001’s Strange Little Girls and 2002’s Scarlet’s Walk continuing to explore broader themes. Nominated for multiple awards, including ten Grammys, Ms. Amos has been working on a musical for London's British National Theatre called The Light Princess tentatively scheduled to debut in 2010.
