John Eckman<p><strong>Tori Amos, Unde the Pink, 1994 on Atlantic</strong></p><p>Amos’ sophomore album every bit as compelling and memorable as her debut <a href="https://goatless.org/2025/04/11/tori-amos-little-earthquakes-1992-on-atlantic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Little Earthquakes</a>. Very much also on repeat throughout the Eckman household in the 1990s – I can still sing every word of many of these songs: Pretty Good Year, God, Past the Mission, The Waitress, Cornflake Girl. Whenever I find myself in an awkward situation I may just break into “I think it’s perfectly clear, we’re in the wrong band . . . ” </p><p>Produced by Eric Rosse and recorded at Westlake in LA and The Fishhouse, a studio built in Taos NM by Rosse and Amos just for this album. </p><p>My copy is a 2021 reissue – a 2xLP on pink translucent vinyl manufactured by Rhino, which was (in the US at least) a Barnes & Noble exclusive (outside the US it was sold in other retailers). Not a gatefold, but otherwise a quality pressing and package. </p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/1990s" target="_blank">#1990s</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/1994" target="_blank">#1994</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/2021" target="_blank">#2021</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/alterantive" target="_blank">#Alterantive</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/atlantic" target="_blank">#Atlantic</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/barnes-noble" target="_blank">#barnesNoble</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/eric-rosse" target="_blank">#EricRosse</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/indie" target="_blank">#Indie</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/reissue" target="_blank">#Reissue</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/taos-nm" target="_blank">#TaosNM</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/the-fishhouse" target="_blank">#TheFishhouse</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/tori-amos" target="_blank">#ToriAmos</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/vinyl" target="_blank">#vinyl</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/vinylcollection" target="_blank">#vinylcollection</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://goatless.org/tag/vinylfinds" target="_blank">#vinylfinds</a></p>
