Am so psyched to have a remastered version + all the extras. I do wish Rhino had not skimped and failed to include a PDF of the awesome artwork that came with the original CD. I lost all of that years ago. (sad face here)
Arguably Tori's Greatest Masterpiece
5
By Dre1973

The remastered and deluxe edition collects the often difficult to find singles and b-sides that were released to support this magnificent album. A near religious experience to be had on this journey with Tori. Her combined use of piano, organ, clavichord, and harpsichord offers a truly signature sound to this album. My absolute favorite of Tori's offerings. An collection of sounds that spoke deep to the core of those who experienced it when it was released. Songs that haunt you for years to come. A true masterpiece.

Part concept album, part breakup record, Boys for Pele is a seminal work from Amos, who steps capably into the role of producer on this album, and though you'll find brass bands, choirs and yes, the inevitable cow bell, this is not your typical third album self indulgence but an artist marking a very specific, singular and personal work. She traces the bloodline of the piano back to the harpsichord & plugs it in, creating an electric yet baroque sound you can hear to visceral effect on songs such as 'Blood Roses' & 'Professional Widow'. Her ability to write earnestly in the confessional mode is as strong here as on previous efforts, particularily with the moving 'Marianne' & 'Donut Song'. For an 18 track album there is surprisngly little filler, some of the shorter numbers fall somewhere in the place between skits on a rap album and tonal shift markers, but no one can imagine Boys for Pele without 'Mr. Zebra'. Still, It's hard to deny the amazing six song streak that opens the album, each vintage Tori; melodic, hooky, lyrical and compelling. Looking back now over the 20 years since the albums release you can see an artist absolutely at their zenith, her musicianship is focused, her voice soars, she is confident enough to experiment and skilled enough to turn those experiments into reckonings. Fans of Amos aren't looking for the dilution that makes more watery hits, nor do they shy away from challenging or idiosyncratic wor; this piece, perhaps her most focused and certainly her most ambitious, rewards the listener who craves unique music that surprises as it pleases.

AWESOME... It's wonderful to see that the "Powers That Be" have given this album of supreme musical achievement the "Royal Treatment". Tori Amos is an artist who is known not only for her full length album contributions, but also for her "hidden gems" that could be found on her maxi singles which were not included on her albums in the 90's. Tori's fans, new & old alike, now have the opportunity to hear her digitally remastered material the way she had always meant for us to hear the music... ENJOY!
