Click here: http://ninemsn.seek.com.au?hotmail ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2005 20:26:31 +1000 From: "Julia Aghari" Subject: [oztori] My "The Beekeeper" review Pt I OK now that I've established the protocol for electronically communicating with subscribees of this list, I've attached my review of "The Beekeeper" in 2 enstalments (refer to the following email in addition to this) for your collective perusal: Part I: First I begin by declaring that I am throroughly impressed with the musicianship presented on "The Beekeeper" - a return-to-form of sorts for Amos, following the musical mis-step of Scarlet's Walk (although her penultimate album, the retrospective Tales of a Librarian was a resounding work of genius) and continuing in a similar vein to Amos's pinnacle work (to date), 2001's Strange Little Girls. "Parasol" is admittedly an underwhelming opener, devoid of any real melody, but pleasant, nonetheless. The album, however, picks-up from here and strikes back with almost lightning resilience! "Sweet the Sting" offers a daring marriage of sleaze-jazz with tribal African rhythms, not unlike Sananta's 'Smooth'. Amos's vocal delivery is also in top form, accompanied by an ensemble of choral singers, and shows that she can give Matchbox 20's frontman Rob Thomas (and guest vox on Smooth) a run for his money when she tries. "The Power of Orange Knickers", from the ingenious title to the provocative lyrics name-checking lingerie (petticoats, knickers), contraception (the pill), phallic symbols ("that sacred pipe of red stone"), and even onanism ("Am I alone in this?"), is not one for the faint-hearted or those perturbed by taboo topics! Amos's ever-improving phonation is coupled with the scintillating resonance of Damien Rice to create a landscape crackling at the seams with sonic static. The only flaw, however, minor, is that Rice's impressive multi-octave range could have been utilised to greater effect during this piece showcasing Amos's musical wizardry. If Beethoven were alive today, he would be composing pianoforte pieces like this. "Jamaica Inn" presents one of the most unconventional songs that Amos has ever dared to take on. From the obscure melody with a multitude of key changes and accidentals (I lost count at 24), to the at first seemingly obscure lyrics such as "the sexiest thing is trust", Amos's delivery is spot-on. My only fear is that it may alienate fans hoping for more typical, traditional Amos songs like 'Datura', and Amos may, as a consequence, lose some of her recently-targeted adult contemporary audience with its acoustic abrasiveness. "Ribbons Undone" is without question one of the two most poignant tracks (see the following paragraph for the other) archived within Amos's 190 song catalogue. Cryptic, emotive lyrics evoking vivid imagery of profound maternal love, featuring Amos's perhaps most-perfect couplet yet, "From school she comes home and cries I don't want to grow up Mom/At least not tonight." (although lyrically 1999's '1000 Oceans' is a tough act to follow in this domain.) Tugging at the heart-strings like a newly-born kitten passing through its clawing stage, it fully encapsulates the unique special poignant bond shared between a mother and her offspring, and is unnerving in its excellence. Perhaps most importantly, it defies cynics who suggest that motherhood has softened Amos. Giving "Ribbons Undone" a run for its money on the lyrical-front, however, is the stupendous "Ireland", positioned on the disc's latter half. "Driving in my Saab on my way to Ireland", the song's main hook, has you questioning at once: a) whether Amos is poignantly re-creating the myth of Jesus walking on water and updating it for this Millenium, as one cannot actually 'drive' to Ireland (North Ireland residents, bite your tongue!) across the water; b) Whether in fact Amos has used her amassed fortune to purchase one of those cars which can transform into a motorised boat, hence allowing her to, in a way, 'drive' to Ireland; c) whether in fact the crux of the lyric is the Saab, and hence possibly a guised reference to Sweden, the land of pop perfection - Abba - and hence Amos may be boldly aligning herself with the quartet's pop sensibilies through the penning of this track, her first real foray into 'pop' since 1996's Boys For Pele.

From the poignant "chong-ch-ch-chong-chong" (a homage to Michael Jackson's 'Bad' period ad-libbing) introduction to the "You say that 'I miss you'/You stop in at my drive through/You know you'll order some boy" bridge, Amos covers the full spectrum from exploited McDonalds' employees to carbohydrate addiction in one foul swoop! A song just begging to have Oprah shed crocodile tears and lip-synch the wrong words out of time to on her enduring show. Although somewhat experimental in nature, Cars And Guitars should safely reconcile the tie with Amos's 40+ housewife-brigade legion of fans that Jamaica Inn threatened to sever, and may even win over some hardened baby-boomer Harley owners/car enthusiasts in the process! Still triumphing on the lyrial-front, the poignant "Hoochie Woman" offers the inspired lines, "You can keep your Hoochie Ooo hoo hoo you can Keep the house Ooo hoo hoo and the bank accounts 'cause boy I bring home the Bacon I said boys I bring home the Bacon", which is perhaps the strongest Feminist statement Amos has offered to date; reassuring any young ladies contemplating a career in pig-rearing that they can do it alone should their man leave them for someone smothered, ironically, in as much make-up as Amos is wearing in the album's accompanying artwork. Clocking in at 79 minutes, however, the album, as to be expected, isn't *all* a 'win-win' experience. Amos's vocals are, to be frank, possibly the worst they've ever been on "Original Sinsuality", where it is almost painfully embarrassing to witness her attempting to reach notes that left her vocal repertoire several albums ago. The album's title-track, similarly, is also a musical disappointment. Supposedly inspired by her mother being ill and her brother's passing late last year, one would expect these unfortunate experiences to allow Amos to have written a profound, moving song expressing her emotions. Sadly, instead we are offered rubbish lines like "'Do you know who I am?' she said 'I'm the one who taps you on the shoulder when it's your time'". Amos expresses personal sentiments that much more effectively on the album's "Ribbons Undone", and her grief far more profoundly in 1999's touching "1000 Oceans" ("these tears I've cried, I've cried a thousand oceans"). That said, 15 out of 19 killer tracks still make "The Beekeeper" an essential purchase for any musical connosoir. No longer an artist only intended for depressed rape victims and socially-awkward outcasts, Amos can now welcome to her fan-base mature women and even Harly riders with open arms. And they too, can welcome her into their liposuctioned/heavily-tattooed arms respectively. ****1/2 out of *****. _________________________________________________________________ $60,000 prize pool to be won.

Also, are there any toriphiles interested in pre-concert drinks at the opera bar for the first sydney concert?

I think the Opera Bar is an excellent choice for the reason stated. I think people should be free to turn up when they wish during the day, and come and go as they please (Opera Bar is also ideal for this, as it's not as stuffy as the Bennelong Bar) ... I'm in favour of us all agreeing on a descrete but noticeable identifying item (we'd discussed ribbons, but that might be too girly even for me!), so we can spot each other when we arrive.

It's also a pub-style pay-at-the-counter-and-grab-a-number-for-the-table affair, so people can order food when and if they feel like it. Of course, the Opera House's restaurant, Guillaume, is excellent, but also really pricey and may not be the best for a meduim or large-ish group ...
