CD Tori Amos – Diving Deep Live

Tori Amos – Diving Deep Live (Decca, 2024)

Captured during her extensive 93-date Ocean to Ocean world tour (2022–2023), Diving Deep Live is a breathtaking showcase of Tori Amos’s enduring virtuosity. Backed by long-time collaborator Jon Evans on bass and renowned drummer Ash Soan, Amos delivers a "dazzling plunge" into her vast discography, blending legendary hits with the "lesser-spotted" gems that define her cult status.

While the album includes essential tracks like the "thunderous" 1994 classic "God" and the Yellowjackets-featured "Cornflake Girl," its true heart lies in the deep cuts. This expanded CD edition, entitled Diving Deeper, features 16 tracks—four more than the vinyl release—offering fans a lush, detailed recording of ethereal B-sides and reimagined favorites.

Featured Tracks & Highlights:

• God: Reimagined with a jagged, "head-banger" edge.
• Amber Waves: An extended, powerfully ethereal rendition.
• Daisy Dead Petals: A "tempestuous" fan-favorite B-side.
• CD Exclusives & Rarities: Includes "Sister Janet," "Climb," "Mother Revolution," and "Crazy."
• Additional Gems: "Ocean to Ocean," "Pandora’s Aquarium," and "Here In My Head."

Whether you are a veteran "Toriphile" or a newcomer captivated by her recent cinematic needle-drops, this Decca release is a magnificent, immersive document of an artist who remains a seismic force in alternative music.
