After what seemed an eternity without a new Tori Amos album, two come along within a year. Midwinter Graces is Tori’s first attempt at a seasonal offering and in her usual way of doing these things, it works. It is a return to form after her disappointing debut album for Universal Republic, the critically loved but fan- slated Abnormally Attracted To Sin earlier in the year.
