Search - Tori Amos :: In Conversation

Good for hard-core fans, but others will be disappointed.

"No Toriphile can disagree that Tori's speaking voice is haunting and real. By reading her interviews, I have seen another side of her that the music doesn't necessarily show. "In Conversation," an audio interview, was a compilation I picked up after I had purchased the Star Profile, which I pretty much bought only for the "look it's Tori" booklet that came with. "In Conversation" does not have a booklet, only one sheet, and the disc itself looks like a rip off of the Star Profile disc (or is it the other way around? ) Put the Star Profile and Interview discs together: It's the same picture! The bootleg appearence of the In Conversation C.D. doesn't add to it's credibility, and the people talking and ambulances in the background are unprofessional (and so rudely interrupt Tori's "onion" analogy!). However, a lot of the points that Tori makes are very insightful and contain views unheard of on the more general Star Profile. You also hear about Tori's views on truth and some of the things she said here literally made me cry, especially about truth and how to keep moving and about her grandfather's view of nature. The more human side of Tori comes out on the In Conversation disc, unlike the Star Profile. If you're a hardcore Tori fan, you'll know to appreciate this, but I wouldn't recommend it to many. The point of an audio interview is that it conveys something that a transcribed interview could never capture, and I could name 50 interviews with Tori from magazines that are better than this. But some may argue that if Tori was speaking Greek, they wouldn't care because 'It's Tori Amos!'. If it's a draw between this or Star Profile, pick up the latter."

Very Intersting

"The only thing that i could say that i didnt like about this cd is that it wasnt long enought 30 min. I listened to it and it helped me gain insite onto my view of things. I would reccomend this to any Tori fan."
