After 2002 the released and album "Scarlet's Walk" the 8 work of Tori Amos will appear. And it's an exciting affair, was but "Scarlet's Walk" got very impersonal rather smooth and uniform, easily accessible and for Tori Amos' standards fans on both sides of the ocean can breathe easy. With "The Beekeeper" the Grande Dame will not a musician whose songs cozy Radio Weichspülmucke a la Norah Jones, although the first single, "Sleeps with Butterflies" makes it seem. This brings us already to the "problem" of this comprehensive 19 titles plant: A few of the tracks here are apparently not purely The aforementioned single - extraction nor "Cars and Guitars" in which Tori old sounds for the first time.. Sorry to be in this series called "Ribbons Undone", a delicate solo piece that thematically revolves around Tori's daughter and her growing up and has become quite cheesy Ultimately you can also including "Ireland" -. And comes with this song also U-turn. Because "Ireland" is funny, relaxed and very courageous: Tori Amos actually sings a funky lollipop piece, with "shananana" singing and little content. And it works, and with him all the pieces mentioned above. Because "The Beekeeper" includes these songs a. In a plethora of styles and moods, as she has never been seen before in Tori Amos. The best thing about this board is the bandwidth that opens up a There are delicate piano pieces, which are broken up by interesting instrumentation. The songs are self-contained and still combine useful to form a whole. Some open up the listener immediately, go to the ear and implant themselves ("Parasol", "Jamaica Inn", "Original Sinsuality"). But the majority of the songs sneaks up from behind and provides space to repeatedly rediscover. With "Sweet the Sting" breaks the first surprise from: The woman may grooving And how together with a gospel choir she leads the listener into a torrid affair from heat and pleasure that immediately in "The Power of Orange Knickers",!. a duet with Damien Rice, is cooled. Rarely a song was so sad, so full of fragility as in this masterpiece of plate. Another highlight is definitely "Mother Revolution", the rather inconspicuous comes first, like a wave which is sweeping the shore. The power of this piece lies in the original package, which is also characterized by songs like "Martha's Foolish Ginger" or "Goodbye Pisces "attracts and clings slowly. Exciting, challenging pieces - very old tradition - also attended: "Witness and" The Beekeeper "are not only with more than 6 minutes, the longest song on the album, but also the most stirring But the real miracle is." Marys of the Sea " , dramatic, loud, wild, quiet and full of elegance. For the first time Tori Amos really sounds a bit like Kate Bush, only this is the best song that Kate never wrote. Content, the texts have become more clearly than before, more understandable, yet not boring; you must still attract numerous encyclopedias, history books Mythologie- and advice to keep up content. Outstanding is definitely the entire production of the disc, no sound goes down or sitting in the wrong place. Toris standard companion Matt Chamberlain and Jon Evans can show here, what they can do and finally Tori uses her greatest gift full of: background vocals. This creates soundscapes that seem completely new each time you listen. "The Beekeeper" does not just looking for the repeat button. It leaves an even with anticipation and excitement for the next 8 Tori -albums expect, because one thing is clear, it is, as we also never stop listeners to discover new things to learn and try. I recommend this record to anyone who does not always find itself in this world cope. Anyone who does not perceive music primarily with the heart and with the mind. He is curious and open to unusual. This album grows and grows and grows and releases a force from which one will consume long. Thanks Tori.
