to venus and back

Tori Amos's fifth album, to venus and back, was released on September 21, 1999. It was recorded at her home studio, Martian Engineering, in Cornwall, England.

"At the start, the idea was one cd live and one cd of rare and unreleased tracks. In the end, it’s a new album that goes with the live. Artistically, this began to make sense because the live disc is a collection of songs throughout the years. These are the best performances of the last tour. There are bootlegs circulating, but they don’t give a faithful image of my music. Then I wanted to add B-sides, for all those who had troubles trying to find rare tracks, but new songs came. I added them and the engineers told me: “These songs have a particular sound; if you mix them with b-sides, it’s like mixing characters from two different movies.” It was quite hazardous." [Best - October 1999]
