 (2 Customer Reviews)
Like Tori Amos's 1992 EP CRUCIFY, 1996's five-track HEY JUPITER is made up of a remixed title track, plus other none-album selections. While the earlier EP primarily features covers, HEY JUPITER includes live material. The remixed version of "Hey Jupiter" contains different background music from the original (which is included on BOYS FOR PELE), while in-concert versions of "Sugar," "Honey," "Professional Widow," and a beautiful reading of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" make HEY JUPITER a highly recommended purchase for Tori disciples everywhere.
Personnel: Tori Amos (vocals); Steve Caton (guitar); Justin Meldal-Johnsen (bass); Andy Ling (programming).

UNDER THE PINK was nominated for Best Alternative Music Performance in the 37th Annual Grammy Awards.
It's been a long time since an artist as quirky and defiantly personal as pianist-vocalist Tori Amos exploded upon the pop charts. With her debut effort LITTLE EARTHQUAKES, Amos avoided popular trends and convenient pigeonholes: all at once she evokes an era of thrush-like sopranos, folkish confessionals, and daring new wave artists. The resulting music on her second Atlantic release, UNDER THE PINK, is brimming over with innocence and sensuality, spirituality and heresy. That she is able to confront all of these contradictions, let alone try to resolve them, makes for remarkably powerful music.
In fact, UNDER THE PINK owes much of its potency to the feeling that we're watching Amos grow up before our very eyes. The daughter of a Methodist preacher, Tori Amos was a child prodigy on the piano, gifted with an exceptionally quick ear and a solid rhythmic feel. However, while pursuing her formal studies, she ran dead up against the rigidity of classical protocol, ...
| | Tori Amos Boys For Pele CD (1996)
Hey Jupiter music CDs
$6.29 
BOYS FOR PELE was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance.
Spirituality is tangled inexorably with power and patriarchy for Tori Amos. On Amos' third solo record, the Hawaiian volcano goddess Pele serves as her alter-ego, presenting a threat to Amos' ever-present, menacing father figures. On "Muhammad My Friend," she warns, "I know you've seen fire/But you've never seen fire/Until you've seen Pele blow." Amos is equally intrigued by other strong, angry females--on "Twinkle," she admires "a girl twice as hard" who reportedly killed a man.
In contrast to her words, Amos tends toward restrained, ethereal vocals; they occasionally verge on ferocity but never quite make it all the way. Her piano and harpsichord playing is, by turns, delicate and passionate. Contrasts like those between confessional and enigmatic lyrics, and ...
| | Tori Amos From The Choirgirl Hotel CD (1998)
Hey Jupiter songs
$6.19 
With her abstract lyrics, idiosyncratic piano playing and quirky arrangements, Amos has rewritten a good deal of the post-Laura Nyro poet-gal-with-a-piano rule book since 1992's LITTLE EARTHQUAKES. As her legions of fans can attest, she's already made it plain that she can do the intellectual artiste thing with aplomb. What she proves on FROM THE CHOIRGIRL HOTEL is that she can also rock out with the best of them.
This recording finds her retreating a bit from the singer/songwriter-with-backing-band approach of her previous recordings in favor of a more band-oriented approach. Though the songcraft here is up to her usual standards, many of the tunes sound as if they were the product of Amos working closely with her musicians and feeding off their inspiration, rather than cloistering herself away with her diary and piano. It is this development that makes CHOIRGIRL ...
| | Tori Amos Caught A Lite Sneeze (1996)
Hey Jupiter album
$7.49
"Caught a Lite Sneeze" seems to have been selected as the lead single from Boys for Pele by default. It's the most accessible song on an extremely challenging and esoteric album, but it is hardly the most listener-friendly song she's written. It mixes uptempo drum programming, harpischord riffs (isn't that an oxymoron?), and Tori Amos' wailing vocals. The lyrics convey the emotional sting caused by Amos' difficult breakup with former producer Eric Rosse. ("Didn't know our love was so small... I need a big loan from the girl zone.") This song stands in sharp contrast to the rest of the EP -- four silly songs that illustrate Amos' whimsical and playful side more directly than anything on her other albums. On the swanky "What I Like Mick," the most successful of the four, Amos professes undying love for "cheese and onion sandwiches and derby chinaware." Two tracks later on "Toodles Mr. Jim" she assumes the role of a little girl cheerfully ...

| | Patricia Barber Distortion Of Love CD (1992)
Hey Jupiter music CDs
$11.05
Pianist and singer Patricia Barber's second album (and major-label debut) is a consistently interesting, but not always completely rewarding, array of original instrumentals, vocal standards, and surprise cover versions. The arrangement of "Summertime" that opens the program is eerie almost to the point of creepiness, and all the more effective for it: after a long instrumental prelude, Barber sings the lyrics ...
| | Aiden Our Gang's Dark Oath CD (2004)
Hey Jupiter songs
$10.09
Judging from the group shot on the back of Our Gangs Dark Oath, Aiden weren't always the eyeliner-heavy, gothed-out rockers with a penchant for morose lyrics and song titles that they'd become by their 2005 Victory debut. At one point in time, it seems they were just five normal punk rockers who happened to like horror movies. However, what they could become with the right budget, desire, and fashion consultant is certainly hinted at throughout the disc. Aiden offer up a competent, if not slightly generic, dose of post-hardcore with a dark punk edge that relies on a vocal assault that aligns surging singing bits with shrieking back vocals. But instead of coming off as straight-up classicist screamo, the habitually distraught guttural attacks manage to be forgettable enough that the group sounds more like the younger cousins of My Chemical Romance or AFI who just happened to be weaned in a screamo scene. Will Franco has a hardcore voice that at times resembles a much tougher, adolescent version of Davey Havok. Representative of the album, "I Set My Friends on Fire" is a perfect example of this marriage of images; an onslaught of abrasive growls drives the song into a whispering sample of a speaker that blends into Franco emotively singing on top of a reappearance of the growls. The middle part sounds so AFI, it's scary. This likeness continues into songs like "Life I Left Behind" and "Cold December," which both have that whole ...
