John EckmanTori Amos, Unde the Pink, 1994 on Atlantic
Amos’ sophomore album every bit as compelling and memorable as her debut Little Earthquakes. Very much also on repeat throughout the Eckman household in the 1990s – I can still sing every word of many of these songs: Pretty Good Year, God, Past the Mission, The Waitress, Cornflake Girl. Whenever I find myself in an awkward situation I may just break into “I think it’s perfectly clear, we’re in the wrong band . . . ”
Produced by Eric Rosse and recorded at Westlake in LA and The Fishhouse, a studio built in Taos NM by Rosse and Amos just for this album.
My copy is a 2021 reissue – a 2xLP on pink translucent vinyl manufactured by Rhino, which was (in the US at least) a Barnes & Noble exclusive (outside the US it was sold in other retailers). Not a gatefold, but otherwise a quality pressing and package.
