Album Review: Tori Amos - Under The Pink (Deluxe)

Freshened with remastered audio, this deluxe edition celebrates the vehicle for Amos’ most enduring song, Cornflake Girl, with 15 bonus B-sides and live tracks from the era.

The value lies in the insight into Amos’ early career techniques and noting their evolution. Bells For Her, an eerie prepared piano piece, carves out a memorable and robust structure even when only the higher octaves are present, whilst God and Past The Mission deftly weave traditional rhythm sections into her framework. The delicate orchestral touches first perfected with Baker Baker remain a timeless highlight.
