Editorial Review:
The Video Collection: Fade to Red is a look at the unique and compelling videos that illustrate Tori Amos' musical vision. It features such memorable clips as "Silent All These Years" "Crucify" "Cornflake Girl" and "A Sorta Fairytale" along with videos from her most recent CD release The Beekeeper. Tori is arguably one of the few artists who truly captures the essence of her music in video through striking images and cinematography which makes this a must-have for any devotee or casual fan. Also included is a comprehensive audio commentary by Tori herself.Track Listings:1. Past the Mission2. Crucify3. Jackie's Strength4. Sorta Fairytale5. Winter6. Spark7. Sleeps with Butterflies8.

Description of Tori Amos - Video Collection: Fade to Red:
The combination of music, visuals, and the artist's commentary makes for compelling entertainment in Tori Amos - Video Collection: Fade to Red. Spanning Amos' entire career (from 1992's Little Earthquakes through 2005's The Beekeeper) and compiled on a two-disc set, these 19 videos feature some very striking images: the decidedly weird special effects in "A Sorta Fairytale," making Amos and actor Adrien Brody's heads appear where knees and hands ought to be; the bound and blindfolded Amos in the dark and disturbing "Spark"; Spanish women lying in the street as a handsome priest passes among them in "Past the Mission"; the slow-motion riot scenes in "1000 Oceans," Amos' response to the 1992 Los Angeles riots. But the singer-songwriter-pianist's breathy commentary track is as the dramatic as the videos themselves. Usually referring to herself in the third person, Amos admits to "a fascination with the beheading of Anne Boleyn… the illicit mistress of the Protestant reformation," identifies with "the Black Madonna, the independent woman… who is being shamed for her sensuality," describes the "Cornflake Girl" video as "evil on a playground… sort of Mean Girls before there was Mean Girls," and regularly references mythology. What she doesn't explain is why the same bonus features (two extra tracks and a making-of featurette) appear on both discs, or why a couple of fan favorites (like "Strange Little Girl") aren't included at all. --Sam Graham

Tori Amos - Video Collection: Fade to Red Reviews:
amazing
2008-05-31 - A precious collection od Tori's best songs (not including obviously the new ones) but great videos.

That red-head goddess is sure something!
2007-08-24 - Tori Amos - Video Collection: Fade to Red is not a complete collection, some videos are missing but Tori's videos have always been innovative and special. My favorite videos from this collection include: Hey Jupiter, 1000 Oceans, Caught a Lite Sneeze, Bliss, Spark, Jackie's Strength, and Cornflake Girl (U.S. Version). I am a huge Tori freak, I adore all her albums and dvd concerts. There is nothing from Tori that I don't absolutely love. There is even audio commentary from Tori herself about the videos, the way she analyzes everything can be a bit confusing but if you are a die-hard Tori fan then get this dvd collection of some of her greatest and strangest videos. Enjoy!

Only Slightly dissapointed
2007-08-13 - I wouldnt call this the diffinitive collection of videos, My only downfall alot of the version represented on this collection are of radio edits, like Hey Jupiter, Crucify, Jackies strength. If your a Tori fan its a must buy however if your a casual listener I would skip it.

As Usual, Tori Is Light Years Ahead Of Typical Pop, Both In Video And Audio
2007-08-09 - And my unrequited love-hate relationship with Tori Amos continues.

I decided to see her video collection. As you should expect, it is superb, and thought provoking.

There are things that bothered me specifically. I despised her "God" video, which would not surprise those who know I am a fundamentalist minister (who is not a snake handler, by the way, though I think the snake in the video symbolized something other than poking fun at snake handlers). "Beyond The Mission" was definitely anti-Catholic in flavor, and sometimes I see attacks on Catholicism to possibly carry over into attacking mainstream Christianity, and I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case here. There is another anti-Catholic slam in "1000 Oceans", as well as wondering if Tori has more sympathy for violent law-breakers than violent law-enforcers.

Some of the images are disturbing, such as "Spark", "Hey Jupiter", the U.S. version of "Cornflake Girl", "God", and to a lesser extent "Raspberry Swirl" and the U.K. version of "Cornflake Girl". The point, though, is that it makes you think, which seems to be Tori's goal.

You have access to her comments on the videos, some of which deals with the concepts of the song or video, and some of which deals with the technical aspects of making the video. I enjoyed these. Another item I enjoyed is when you select play all, you have a brief segment from the "Winter" video, with Tori looking at you and singing "When are you going to make up your mind?"

My favorite videos were "Winter", "Sleeps With Butterflies", "Silent All These Years", "Spark", "1000 Oceans" and "Raspberry Swirl".
