Extraordinary Machine

“I still only travel by foot and by foot it’s a slow climb but I’m good at being uncomfortable so I can’t stop changing all the time.” The latest from the unreleased Fiona Apple CD. Hat tip: Jess.

  1. Well the double cd set arrived the other day, and I’ve had a good play.

    I like it a lot, but Extraordinary Machine by far impresses me the most… will have to watch out for that new album i guess!

    Thanks for the hat tip as it were Matt.

    /me walks off wondering if he should buy an album by Brad Mehldau which Matts pointed out the other day…

  2. oh god. I’m only 14, and was just a young’n when she came out with both cds. I just love the feeling of her stuff, it feels so whole and deep – nothing i’ve EVER heard before. Do you mean you’ve actually heard one of her new songs – how?

  3. Apple is an extremely impressive artist, and its a pitty Sony won’t take a risk on her. This is the problem with the music industry today — all marketing, no artistry.

    Does she have the opportunity to go with another label (say, Blue Note) or to to self-publish, or is she contractually enslaved obligated to Sony for another disc?

    Glad to see that, from the sound of this tune, these difficulties aren’t getting her down too much.
