Every time I hear this I am reminded of Harmonium, a Quebec band which I admit dates back to the mid-late 70's. Something from Cinq Saisons, I'm sure. Anyone remember them?

Now go to vimeo and look for "A Day In California." That video makes me tear up.

Normally I would really like music of this nature, but I find this somewhat grating. I think it's the hyper piano runs and twinkling clarinet or something. Knowing it's Tori Amos doesn't really help either. Forgive me, I'm not in a great mood. I'd probably like this more if I were feeling better.
 
I feel pretty good and this song still sucks.

No really, it's Bach.  Each song on this album is inspired by, or a variation of, a classical work.  This one is inspired by Prelude in C-Minor.

Actually, that's pretty cool. It's a very playful work. Reminds me a small, fast-running brook. I'll have to check this album out.

Ah, that explains why I like this more and more.  Bach realigns my brain.  That, and being a former classical clarinet major.

Why does this Tori Amos track get played so much more than anything else of hers????  I'm starting to see the same loops of music happening more often.

Thought this was some old PG era Genesis tune. Stunned to see it is Tori Amos. Intriguing piece.

Not a huge fan of her vocals, but nothing to object to in this performance.

If the "King of Sappiness" you are referring to has the initials "K.G.", then the clarinet is relatively safe.  He primarily plays a soprano saxophone.

Thought this was going to be some endless Jethro Tull prog rock song at the beginning. Only mildly relieved that it isn't.

Sure some people like it, sounds like background music for a film soundtrack. 
 

nothing wrong with an endless Tull track - that's how we Tullites like it.

This so reminds me of Harmonium. Does anyone else hear that, or for that matter, know their music. I'd be going back to the late 70's for that, I guess. They were a great band to see live!

Not a big Tori fan, but the tonality and technique of the clarinet player are quite good.  And the piece keeps growing on me.
