Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes | MP3 320Kb | 129Mb




With her haunting solo debut Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos carved the template for the female singer/songwriter movement of the '90s. Amos' delicate, prog rock piano work and confessional, poetically quirky lyrics invited close emotional connection, giving her a fanatical cult following and setting the stage for the Lilith Fair legions. But Little Earthquakes is no mere style-setter or feminine stereotype — its intimacy is uncompromising, intense, and often far from comforting. Amos' musings on major personal issues — religion, relationships, gender, childhood — were just as likely to encompass rage, sarcasm, and defiant independence as pain or tenderness; sometimes, it all happened in the same song. The apex of that intimacy is the harrowing "Me and a Gun," where Amos strips away all the music, save for her own voice, and confronts the listener with the story of her own real-life rape; the free-associative lyrics come off as a heart-wrenching attempt to block out the ordeal. Little Earthquakes isn't always so stomach-churning, but it never seems less than deeply cathartic; it's the sound of a young woman (like the protagonist of "Silent All These Years") finally learning to use her own voice — sort of the musical equivalent of Mary Pipher's Reviving Ophelia. That's why Amos draws strength from her relentless vulnerability, and that's why the constantly shifting emotions of the material never seem illogical — Amos simply delights in the frankness of her own responses, whatever they might be. Though her subsequent albums were often very strong, Amos would never bare her soul quite so directly (or comprehensibly) as she did here, nor with such consistently focused results. Little Earthquakes is the most accessible work in Amos' catalog, and it's also the most influential and rewarding.

A really WONDERFUL album. The better made by Tori. A piece of art. She never made a so good album after this one (the second one in her life).

I was very supriced when i see your entusiasm
for this album. Thought it just would have get

but if anyone got it, please get it up.

"That is one fucking excellent cat!"

@ Serial

"Thought it was her first until i saw Skyhawks

OK, I'm no Tory expert, but I even still think it was her first (music) album.

"I have tryed to play this for many peolpes around me, but only getting complaints."

You have strange people "around you" :-))

"Thought it just would have get its usual stars from Bully in a couple of weeks and thats that."

Take care for your words, cat! :-)
