On July 10, 2001, Cleopatra Records released a Tori tribute album called "Songs Of A Goddess : A Tribute To Tori Amos". (The release date was delayed a few times and the track listing altered a little in the weeks leading to release.) Look below for full details about this interesting project, including details on all the artists on the album, the complete track listing, and more. This seems to be a project that was put together by people who really appreciate Tori. You can see the tribute album cover to the right. Several people are asking me where they can buy a copy of this tribute album. You can order it online from Amazon.com or amazon.co.uk. You can also order this CD at 800.com Music. I also have scattered reports from people who have found it in local record stores, with Best Buy and Sam Goody being mentioned a lot. If you live in the New York City area, I have a report from Ed Lathan that the Virgin Megastore was carrying it, as well as a bunch of smaller, independant music stores in the area. Timothy Dooner of Cleopatra records was kind enough to send me a lot of information about many of the artists covering Tori on this album, and I thank him! (I also thank Cleopatra Records for kindly mentioning the Dent on their web site!) Look below Cleopatra Records has a web page dedicated to this tribute album. Read a review of this album at Philadelphia's Citypaper.net. Track Listing For "Songs Of A Goddess : A Tribute To Tori Amos"Click the name of the artist for more details.
Cleopatra Records has put out series of tribute albums in the past where they have other artists (often Goth-like) cover songs by famous artists. For example, they also have tribute albums for Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and so on. The Liner Notes From the AlbumThanks to Matt Natale for sending these to me! The packaging is SO cute! It's designed after Tori's "to venus and back" booklet. It has the purple and the little boxes and it even tries to mimic the font of the typing. It comes in a digi-pak. When you first open it, on
the right is the CD and on the left is an introduction type thing written by Jason Myers. Here that is:
The chemistry and connectivity shared between Tori Amos and her fans is
truly an awesome and unique phenomenon, unparalleled in the history of
modern, pop culture. Emerging from a tumultuous era in the evolution of
rock, Tori slithered in between the fissures created as early 90's
alternative music was clashing with the tired remnants of excessive 80's
synthesis. Her raw emotive voices, bastardized classical mutations and
intimate prose fused into an electrifying force that began spinning with
sizzling momentum, inevitably drawing myriad wandering satellites into this
gorgeous orbit. While many stars from her system were destined to burst
onto the scene and shoot away with a fading trail, Tori's was a stronger,
more patient path. She never set the charts on fire. She never saturated
the media, ad nauseam, yet her celebrity to raise awareness of close-to-home
issues like rape and sexual abuse survival. Rather, like a sly ancient
matriarch whose own obvious righteousness will attract the proper followers,
she just continued to spin her creations off to the left. As other appeared
and dropped off the radar, Tori pulsated soothingly, consistently. With an
unnerving candor and wry humor, she opened her heart to an ever-increasing
legion of listeners as she traversed the earth with her piano. The records
sold respectfully with support from traditional radio and television
minimal, at best. Tour after tour, the venus became ever more plush with
her most suitable setting being mid-sized theaters usually reserved for
symphonies, plays, and other true art, as opposed to the more bourgeoisie
night clubs and sporting arenas utilized by her contemporaries.
The images Amos provokes with her obscure lyrics seem specifically designed
for each individual listener. It's as if she speaks in code, brushing
together random words and phrases that bleed into one another like fresh
watercolours bubbling on a canvas. Get too close to the piece and its
abstracts may be too obtuse to assimilate into a working frame of reference.
Step back, loosen focus and suddenly the beauty of the picture appears like
a hidden message materializing in an optical illusion graphic. Now the
language can be understood in context. Tori has often given her own spin on
where the seeds of these blossoms originated. In spacey interviews she
often dances with the questionnaire until the message becomes so dizzy all
but the purist member may forget what the question was. Words are nearly
always used as a medium. Between numbers at her recitals, the playful
chanteuse will interact with the appreciative attendees in her coy, innocent
way, she charms. As she has worked out traumatic issues in her life with
the help of both song and fan, the bond and the music have grown
immeasurably. Her soaring, tear jerk carols flirt as convincingly with a
stark, acoustic keyboard accompaniment as they do with the most sizzling
post-modern electro groove. Even a digital wave gets warmth passing through
the texture of this crooner's vocal filter.
Never one to shy away from interpreting the songs of her favorite
influences, Tori's covers have become a legendary staple of her enigmatic
live sets, and consequently the focus of countless concert bootlegs. Her
homage to Kurt Cobain, a simple piano/voice twist of Nirvana's raucous
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was an unexpected underground hit that afforded
many viewers their first glimpse of Amos' unintentional sexuality perched at
the edge of her bench. This odd blend of confidence and vulnerability
entranced many into feeling the woman was a projection of their own deepest
passions. She unknowingly became the voice of a soft powerful movement, yet
remained humble enough to have fun with herself and her friends by sharing
her versions of everything from NIN's "Hurt," The Cure's "Love Song" and
R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion" to Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide," Prince's
"Purple Rain" and Madonna's "Live to Tell." With a deeply rooted career
that promises to continue blossoming and branching ever outward and upward,
the divine Ms. Amos is respectfully tributed on this release. An array of
rising artists from around the planet have each graciously borrowed the
fruit of her bounty. In perfect love and perfect trust the energy is
returned with fresh inspirations that will hopefully bring pleasure to the
fans and to the lady herself.
The Cycle Continues Jason Myers - Los Angeles, California 2.2.1 The back cover has the track listing, exactly like the one on The Dent.
Above the track listing is the following Tori quote:
"If you're going to do a cover, it has to be a complete challenge."
Tori Amos - Chicago Tribune, October 8, 1992
Then, there's the booklet, which is contained behind the introduction thing.
It's very cute because it really does mimic "to venus and back." It is
setup just like that booklet, except that instead of lyrics in each of the
little boxes, there's the song title, the credits of the musicians, and then
there's a description of the particular cover, how to contact the artists,
and pictures of the artists. Below you will find the text from the liner notes. (There are
times where I will put ???? because I cannot make out a person's name or something (the writing in the liner notes is REALLY small and sometimes quite blurry) unto ashes
Latin Translation: Michael Laird and Natalie Lincoln Arrangement, Dulcimers, Drone, Vox 4: Michael Laird Vox 1: Ericah Hagle
Step back a few centuries into a realm of lords and ladies. This classic reinterpretation of "Beauty Queen" from New York's chamber maidens in waiting - Unto Ashes, comes across like the score for a vintage period piece. The brevity of the cut, only lends to the suspense, bleeding effortlessly into the band's left coast classical counterparts.

Cello: Jackie Gratz
The sparse, haunting treatment of the sardonic "Leather" showcases San Francisco's premier, post apocalyptic queens of experimental neoclassical at the height of their powers. Amber Asylum's uncanny knack for balancing soothing finesse with slight unease shines through on this track, proving once more that when music is approached as an art rather than a commodity the results can be stunning.

Composer, rocker, producer, vocalist and multi-instrumental Glampire is an equal balance of glamour, urban spirituality and immense talent. Having written, performed and produced all of the songs on hi last four full-length albums, it's apparent why he has such a devout, international following. This New York based, avant-garde performer, reworks "Bliss," off of "to venus and back," implementing his own panache and solid musicianship which will please even the most discerning Toriphile.

Philly natives Tapping the Vein will make Tori proud. The edgy, melancholic, dark rock band gives absolute props and first rate justice to the track "Cornflake Girl." Singer Heather Thompson invokes the same conviction and emotion, if not more, into this fiery rendition, raising the question once again: is Tori's influence transcending even into the realm of goth and metal? You bet your life it is.
Their version of Cornflake Girl also appears on a "goth" compilation album called "The Darkness of Beauty volume 5".

SoCal electro-dreampop new blood, October Hill show yet another facet to their diverse palette of influences, channeling that deep Bristol current. Tori's poignant lyrics of remembrance are sung with a pensive, yet hopeful, passion over distant, hypnotic loop, thick lavaflow bass and sparkling acoustic guitar enhancements. Winter never felt so warm.

meegs & jessicka
Mixed by Meegs Rascon & Franklyn Jones III at The Cave, N. Hollywood, CA
A match made in hell, (but the kind of hell with lots of self-indulgent fun, all night debauchery and eternal blissful chaos), tracking these two beautiful maniacs down and coordinating them into one studio was truly the work of the devil. Untold obstacles, scheduling conflicts, personal tragedies, extreme illnesses...It was as if some pesky, benign force was seemingly against this unholy union. Yet nothing truly worth having comes without a price, and the end result is pure, intense energy.

Mastered By Judson Leach at JLAB, Los Angeles A&R, Art Production, Liner Notes, Promotion: Jason Myers A&R, Contracts, Publishing: Timothy Dooner Publicity, Additional Text ali ? *Rock Star* Production Manager: Tim Yasui Details about the artists on this albumLook below for details about ALL the artists on this album, in the order that they appear on the album. Some of the artists sent me this info themselves, The rest came from other Toriphiles and Timothy Dooner of Cleopatra records. Unto Ashes (covering "Beauty Queen")Dying Time sent me the following information: I'm writing to tell you that you can find out more about Unto Ashes at www.UntoAshes.com - and there's sound files at www.mp3.com/untoashes. Michael Laird from Unto Ashes emailed the Dent about the cover album and you can read that email below! Greetings, it's Michael Laird from Unto Ashes; we're very pleased to be
part of the Tori tribute album. There are two rabid Toriphiles in our
group, Melody Henry and Ericah Hagle; they are so rabid that they own all
Tori's albums, know every word to every song (including B-sides), etc.,
etc.
I of course didn't know anything about her music; reluctantly, Ericah let
me borrow some of her Tori CDs; suffice it to say that I was absolutely
shattered by the very first song I heard ("Beauty Queen"): the tremendous
power and emotional depth in this short, simple song was absolutely
overwhelming. I listened to it over and over and over, trying to
understand what it was that I kept "hearing" in this tiny diamond...
It reminded me of something I vaguely remember "hearing" in a medieval
music composition by Perotin (ca. 1160 - ca. 1220). Therefore it seemed
logical (at least to my diseased brain) to explore this phenomenon
further. Happily, the demo tapes I made with Ericah were well received by
the other members of Unto Ashes; Natalia Lincoln, a scholar of the first
order, greatly improved my preliminary Latin translation. The results will
be heard on the Tribute Compilation: Ericah provided the lead vocal,
supported by a choir of failed nuns and monks who are none other than
Natalia, Melody, and myself; I played the accompanying music on early
instruments - the arrangement (for better or for worse) is my own.
An amusing fact: just after Ericah sings the word "lavaTORIarum" the
discerning listener may be able to hear the soft meow of a silky feline;
this is not a mistake! Her name is Princess Buckwheat, and she lives in
Dungeon Rock recording studio. Normally she is shy and quiet as a mouse;
but at that very moment she came right up to Ericah's microphone and --
well, maybe she was inspired by what she heard?
Bright blessings, Amber Asylum (covering "Leather")Find out more about the band at amberasylum.com. Amber Asylum's music is too cold to be ambient and to call it new age is reductive, yet the members use traditional instruments and modern equipment to explore the classical form in demanding new ways. Their innovative style blurs the boundaries between "high" and "low" art, and they play to enthusiastic black-tie audiences in San Francisco and then turn around to play support at grumbling venues like Lucifer's Hammer or The Great American Music Hall with Neurosis, the Melvins and the Swans (now dead). AmberAsylum is Wendy Farina on drum kit and percussion (formerly of Towel and currently with Red Shark and Condor); Kris Force with lead vocal, guitar and violin; Jackie Gratz on cello; Erica Stoltz on bass and voice (lead singer and bassist for Lost Goat). Turning classical music on it's head, AmberAsylum juxtaposes traditional forms such as the Art Song and Aria with the post-rock and electronica setting. Their music can be as personal and poignant as songs by 60's chanteuse's, as epic as film scores (think Bernard Herrmann and Ennio Morricone), and yet it ranks with the output of post-modern noise pioneers such as Nurse with Wound, Coil and more currently that of sometime collaborators, Matmos. Force's lyrical style and content is chilly yet elegant and at moments supernaturally decadent, stirring up comparisons to American murder ballads and the confessional "suicide" poetry of Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath. In addition to AmberAsylum, string work by Kris and Jackie can be heard on "Matmos The West", The past 4 Neurosis albums, "Swans are Dead" and "Sound Tracks for the Blind", "The Body Lovers 1 of 3." AmberAsylum have welcomed contributions from many talented players. Past line ups and contributors include; John Benson, Martha Burns, Annabel Lee, John Oberon, Camille Norment, Tim North, Mike Richard and Steve Von Till. Glampire (covering "Bliss")An artist named Glampire will be covering "Bliss". You can find out more about him at www.glampire.com. You can find a couple Tori mentions on the site. In the site's photo gallery, they mention that photographer Frank Micelotta has photographed both Glampire and Tori. Rei Toei (covering "Sugar")Hailing from St. Petersburg, Russia, Rei Toi was founded by three sound production faculty students (Deville, Smirnoff & Rah), of the infamous UHSS university. They were later graced with the addition of vocal chanteuse, Irene, and have been progressing immeasurably since 1999, with their brand of smooth, sultry trip-hop rock. You can email the band at rei-toei@mail.com and find out more about them at www.rei-toei.ipfox.com. Tapping The Vein (covering "Cornflake Girl")Thanks to Ted O'Connor, Jen Miller, Wilson Tse and Jennifer Clarke (faeriequeen) for being the first to tell me about this. A group called Tapping The Vein covered "Cornflake Girl" for this Tori tribute album. The group announced this on their email mailing list. They state: Hi, everybody! We just turned in our recorded version of the Tori Amos song "Cornflake Girl". It will be included on a Tori Amos Tribute Album that will be released through Cleopatra Records in a month or so. Maybe sooner! This album will not be for sale through us. Nuclear Blast let us participate in this release while we continue recording our full length album for them. We hope to be all done within 30 days. You can find out more about this group on the official Tapping The Vein web site and at MP3.com. Toriphile maryam (littlebluegirl) saw Tapping The Vein perform live in Philly on April 25, 2001. Here is her report: I just wanted to let you know that I saw tapping the vein perform live in Philly last night at 94.9's Loud and Local show, and as the last song of their set they performed Cornflake Girl. It sounded really neat, since they had this gothic rock twist on that cute song. Heather's voice was neat how she performed it too, since she sang real sweet and cute like she can and then let out screams of "You bet your life it is" and "Rabbit, where'd you put the keys girl?" It was really cool to see, and I talked to Heather after the show and let her know that I loved the song and that I read about them on the dent! She thought it was so cool that their info was up there. I got their cds and they are really awesome. I'd recommend them to anyone who likes bands like a perfect circle and tori, that's what they sounded like ;) October Hill (covering "Winter")I received an email from Jason Myers, who is the bassist/keyboardist for the band October Hill and is with Cleopatra Records. He talked about his band's cover of "Winter" on the Cleopatra Tribute album. I include the email below. You can currently download an MP3 of their cover of "Winter" from octoberhill.net. in regards to the tori amos tribute, i really appreciate your enthusiastic
support. we are doing our best to ensure the highest quality music, art and
packaging on this cd. we are fans of tori ourselves and want this to be the
best possible tribute we can create while giving some more underground bands
a chance to show their goods to the hordes of other tori fans out there.
my band, october hill did our version of winter, a song we all felt very
close to for various reasons. while the initial recording sessions were a
bit awkward - turning her beautiful piano lines into hypnotic loops and
swirling chords, the magick of the song really came through in
postproduction at aleister einstein studios. october hill is an
electro-dreampop group from hollywood with sounds that invoke influences
from mazzy star, cure, verve, curve, portishead, cranes, mojave3, and even
old fleetwood mac. when reproducing tori, the end result was leaning a bit
more towards our massive attackish, trip hop side, and we hope that tori and
her amazing fans will appreciate our homage to "winter." we will be putting
some samples of this up on our site very soon: http://www.octoberhill.net. (Note from Mikewhy: You can now find an MP3 of Winter on their web site!) Jason Myers later posted a news item on the RDT Fanzine web site. Here is part of what he says about this project: First, despite what certain appearances and recent history indicate, this is not limited to darkwave artists. We intentionally included more diversity than past Cleo efforts and if you look at the individual artist sites, you will see that, while there is a dark feel to the record, several genres are touched upon, from trip hop and dreampop to indie rock and avante garde neoclassical....
One last thing, due to tour commitments in Europe, The Illuminati was unable to complete "Icicle," but L.A. based Simple have contributed their amazing electronica version of "Raspberry Swirl." Voltaire (covering "Caught A Lite Sneeze")Toriphiles Elusis and shelle (hungover faery) were the first to inform me that an artist named Voltaire (who one person described as a "folky gothic musician") covered "Caught A Lite Sneeze" on the Tori Tribute album from Cleopatra Records. Voltaire sends out an email newsletter, and this is what he had to say about this project in early February 2001: TORI AMOS COVER
I will be covering the Tori Amos song, "Caught a Lite Sneeze" for the
upcoming Tori tribute disc to be put out by Cleopatra! I'm not sure when
the disc will be out, but more news will surely follow as I get it. The
disc seems to have a lot of New York talent on it including St. Eve and
my label mates Unto Ashes. We will record the song using the usual band
members so expect violins, cellos bass, etc. but we are aiming towards a
dancefloor track so we will most likely be speeding the song up a bit
and adding some electronic sounds for depth. Co-producing the track with
me will be Kerry Smith, responsible for the unreleased remix of The Man
Upstairs. Kerry's remix of The Man Upstairs can be heard at MP3.com. You can find out more about Voltaire at his official web site and at MP3.com. Voltaire's email to The DentVoltaire emailed me with an account of how he discovered Tori and more details about him covering the song "Caught A Lite Sneeze". He says: I am Voltaire.
I just stumbled upon your website and was really
pleased that the information about my
upcoming Tori tribute had gotten to you!
The newsletter that I send out goes to fans of
my music, comic books and animated series-
that I created for the Sci-Fi Channel's website
"Chi-Chian" but alas, since most of my people may or may
not be Tori Amos fans, I didn't go into detail
regarding WHY I am doing the song.
I thought you might find my thoughts on this
interesting so I am sending them along to you.....
I received the call from Cleopatra Records about
2 weeks ago and it just so happens that it came on
a very strange day. You see, there has been this
strange synergy lately between me and
Tori Amos! It's almost like one of those "X degrees
of separation from Kevin Bacon" type things!!!
Recently I spoke on a panel with writer Neil Gaiman
(the Sandman comic book, etc) at an Anime convention
in New York. I was REALLY surprised that he was
aware of my music. As we approached the stage he said
to me, "I really like your music. I think the mix of Satanism
and Klezmer is brilliant! " We had a good laugh and he
put me right at ease. During the talk he mentioned that
Tori and he are very good friends.
A few weeks later I met up with him again after a reading
he did in New York. During the reading he read a short poem
that he had written for Tori's daughter at Tori's request.
It was really sweet and was sort of a prayer calling on the
forces that be to look over her child. If I recall correctly
(and God I hope I do!) I believe it was called
"A Prayer For A Blueberry Girl".
To be quite honest, and I am now ashamed to say this,
I was never really very aware of Tori's music (which in retrospect
is tragic! since my music is also comprised mostly of
classical instruments and I see some distinct similarities). Then
one day my manager got a call from Lava records. They were looking
for someone to create some animation for one of their recording artist
(yup, I do animation).
My manager told me that the gentleman she spoke to was
Jason Flom, the president and that he was the A&R man who
had signed Tori Amos to Atlantic way back when.
Well, thirty seconds later, Cleopatra called asking me if I
wanted to be on the Tori tribute disk! It was just too WEIRD!
I thought, that does it! I have to do this cover!
One of my assistants brought in Boys For Pele and when I
heard Caught a Lite Sneeze ("Oh! THAT song!) I instantly
knew that it was the song I wanted to cover. The strange thing
is that as the days went by and I listened to the song repeatedly
to familiarize myself with it, I started to realize that the lyrics
have a lot of meaning to me, they strike a very personal chord
in my life.
I now feel extremely lucky to be involved in this project and
I find myself singing that song ALL OF THE TIME!
I can't wait to record it!!!!
So, now you know! Cheers! This Ascension (covering "Crucify")THIS ASCENSION formed in 1988 and have been building a strong international following ever since. They successfully blend the shimmering 4AD synthesizer/guitar sound with an uncommonly powerful rhythm section and dynamic, heavenly vocals.

(http://www.coalchamber.com) and Jessicka was the vocalist for (the now broken up) Jack off Jill (http://www.jackoffjill.com). I think some of Jack off Jill's music is still up at mp3.com (http://www.mp3.com/jackoffjill) if people would want to check her out. Jessicka's got a great voice; it'll be interesting to see what she does with the song. Temple Of Rain (covering "God")Temple Of Rain are an LA based goth/metal band. They were one of the first bands to join mp3.com representing that genre and have remained in the Goth top 10 for well over a year.
