To Venus and Back by Tori Amos

To Venus and Back, released on Atlantic on September 21, 1999, is really two records in one sleeve: Tori Amos's fifth studio album and her first live album. The studio half, Venus: Orbiting, pushes the classically trained pianist deeper into electronica and trip hop, her piano wrapped in skittering beats and murky textures. The singles were "Bliss", "1000 Oceans", "Glory of the 80's" and "Concertina".
The second disc, Venus Live, Still Orbiting, was caught mostly on the Plugged '98 tour behind From the Choirgirl Hotel, and it makes a fine counterweight: Amos on stage, the songs stretched out and roughed up in front of a crowd. Together they sound like an artist looking forward and back at once.
