Picture this, Sicily 1923... Only joking. More like Bristol 1992. I was eighteen and a complete musical sponge. I would listen to anything I could get my hands on. Although, to be fair, it had mostly been obnoxiously aggressive, male-centric guitar bands up until then. I remember hearing 'Crucify' for the first time and being completely floored by it. Such intricacy and beauty. Tori Amos became my gateway to a whole universe of female singers and songwriters. Here we are, almost thirty years later, and she is still turning out sparking nuggets of perfection like the exquisite 'Speaking With Trees'.
