Welcome to this Special Edition Review, the first in (hopefully) a series, wherein I settle in with my compadre and fellow music blogger 2020k to attack an album from our unique perspectives. Mine: the music fan with a lot of snark and fangirling up her sleeve. His: the music fan tempered by being a musician/engineer/guru of production.
For the readers, you gain a well-rounded review that spans the technical to the emotional elements; for us, we get to make inside jokes and have a laugh at each other's reactions.
This is the first in a joint venture between Amber from Open 'Til Midnight. In it, we combine our quite different thoughts on the newly released orchestral album "Gold Dust" by Tori Amos.
Amber takes the highly snarky and critical fan point of view, while 2020k focuses on the technical aspects of the recording and its final impact it makes with the end emotional result.
Both huge fans of Tori, RJ and Amber banter back and forth with Torisms and inside jokes as a way to portay a dialog between the two as they search to find a middle ground of sorts toward what they think of this 2012 release.
And we do so with awesomeness! *high fives* The Corn Mother is pleased with our endeavors to seduce the Barons of Suburbia into Little Amsterdam, where we shall Crucify all those who dare negate our glorious (from the 80s) review!
