Tori Amos reminds me of Sandman once again

When I first heard Tori Amos' first album, I was amused to hear a greeting for Neil Gaiman in it.

In her new album, she makes me remember Neil Gaiman again.  I'm starting to gain a better appreciation for Tori Amos' new album, Night of Hunters.  Especially now that I found online a list of what songs were used for each one.

I particularly found the song The Chase interesting because it reminds me of the battle Morpheus had against the demon to regain his items of power in Sandman issue #4.

"I am hope."

Here's the original piece that inspired the new Tori Amos song.  I do love also how Job's Coffin is an original inspired by a song she wrote based on a classical one.  Talk about inspiration drawing from inspiration!
