Synopsis

Amazon.com
In the absence of any new music from Kate Bush, Tori Amos carries on the tradition of sensual rock chanteuse nicely with this breathy pop track from the studio portion of her To Venus and Back album. Respectfully remixed here by frequent Amos collaborators Marcel van Limbeek and Mark Hawley, the song has a crisp rhythmic feel but is certainly no radical departure from the album version. A suitably bleak solo rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Famous Blue Raincoat" and an only slightly more animated live version of Boys for Pele's "Twinkle" round out a 12-minute EP best suited for hardcore fans. --Bill Forman

Short but sweet, decent CD that samples the style of the complete album in just a couple of songs.

This is a great EP for Tori fans. The re-worked version of "Twinkle" is great but still true to the album version. Tori's cover of "Famous Blue Raincoat" is fantastic.

Wondering about the quality of these live tracks?

"Most Tori fans will consider getting this disc for 3 reasons: (1) To get the video (2) To get the remix of Concertina (3) To get the live tracks The video is not one of my favorites, but likely the only way you will get to see it, so if you are as curious as I was, naturally this is a good thing to get. The remix of Concertina is not particularly interesting. The song sounds a bit broken with the extra vocals added in, although in some places it sounds fantastic. The live tracks are really the reason why I think the single is worth having (for those of us who don't just collect them all). Both are very well done and superior to the studio versions of these songs with which we are all familiar. I was not even fond of either song until this revelation. I highly recommend these tracks."

"I'm really happy that Tori decided to release Concertina has her next single. The new edit of it is beautiful and the Glory of the 80's video on the cd is a wonderful addition! Considering no one will play her videos. The only problem I have is not to see newer b-sides on this cd. The same live tracks from the Glory of the 80's single were used. Usually Tori has tons of b-sides on her singles. But, overall I recommend this for true Tori fans and collectors of her cds."
