The first disc, titled ''Venus: Orbiting'', features eleven original songs that find Amos experimenting heavily in electronica. It spawned the singles "Bliss", "1000 Oceans", "Glory of the 80's" (Australia, the UK, and Europe only), and "Concertina" (U.S. only). The second disc, ''Venus Live: Still Orbiting'', is a thirteen-track album compiling live tracks recorded from her ''Plugged '98'' tour. This is the first official live release of Amos's career. ==Background== ''To Venus and Back'', which began life as a proposed B-sides album, is sparser both in production and arrangement than ''From the Choirgirl Hotel'', but is similar to its predecessor in that it features overt electronica influences and a relatively subdued piano sound. The album finds Amos's voice and piano subverted in a sonic maze of electronic washes and effects, and some songs, notably "Juárez" and the epic "Dātura" are largely built around these effects. Topics covered on the album include unsolved murdered female maquiladora workers in Ciudad Juárez on the U.S.-Mexico border, hallucinogenic plants, and Napoleon Bonaparte. In November 1999, Tori Amos was quoted by Pulse Magazine as saying that this record says a lot about the shadows and the shadow world. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「To Venus and Back」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
